@Alexander Weymann If you ever get tired of medicine, you could quit your day job and become a full time consultant for Tonebase. You always provide such valuable insights to everyone's playing!

Re: Week 4: Post your Progress!
@Vidhya Bashyam Thank YOU for inspiring me. It's really interesting how the more time you spend on some of these masterworks, the more you notice things you can change with every repetition.

@Derek McConville You really lend a lovely, lilting charm to this famous work. We all REALLY understand how tough it is to get time to practice, but you've made a ton of progress nonetheless.

Re: An Autumnal Recital!
If there is room for one more, I'd love to participate. I just started the Chopin Nocturne in c# minor (the one Sandy played so beautifully today), so I'll give that a go.
