@Linda Clover I actually put an alarm on my phone to practice just a tiny bit before or after I eat! Even if I'm not at the piano, it gives me (at least) 5 minutes 3 times a day to review a piece.

@oscar6868 Welcome, Oscar! I love Spanish tortillas, also. Tuve la suerte de pasar 5 días en Madrid el año pasado. ¡Ahora quiero volver! (Tengo primos en Chile, pero siempre usamos el inglés juntos.)

@Linda Clover hi Linda! I'm also TRYING to start memorizing a bit...and it makes me VERY nervous. Tiny bits every day (or tiny "delicious marshmallows", as my friend @Juan Carlos Olite says).

@Natalie Peh You're right! Grieg needs a party hat for his birthday. I wonder what kind of cake he'd like? I bet @Sindre Skarelven could make him a delicious cake.

My favorite activity is chamber music, but I love learning solo repertoire now here at Tonebase.
I'm so excited to meet other pianists from all around the globe.
