Re: Preparing for a Master Class
@Nina BR Orion Weiss is amazing! Where was the masterclass? I just made a little video of my P&F that I'll put in the June recital list. A sort of test!

Re: Harmonic analysis book?
AND, I just found out that there is a workbook that goes along with the textbook. I may get that also.

Re: Preparing for a Master Class
@Alherne cupido PLEASE play in one of the monthly recitals, or simply post in the challenges! ANY level is wonderful, we're ALL just learning. If this were my day job, I'd practice more, LOL.

@Nina BR I'm doing Bach P&F Book 1, D major for Vanessa Latarche from the Royal Academy of Music. I'm not feeling very confident, though. How about you?
