@Angela Fogg My hands are feeling much better these days, now that I have also started stretching them before I play...kind of "hand yoga", LOL? And I'm actually on the waiting list for the Stretto…

Re: Group 3
@Jarred Dunn Thank you for listening. This was very much out of my comfort zone, but it is a remarkably useful exercise. Trying to sing is helping me express the kujawiak phrasing and accents I heard…

Re: Group 3
