@Michael Great job on a SUPER difficult piece! And your leming-themed sweater enhances your performance even more. Your audience at the end of the month will be so happy.

@Gayaneh Lustermann I love the way you breathe into the phrases and you do such a great job bringing out the melody in the LH. Your performance defines "reverie" the way Debussy must have had in mind.

Re: Comprehensive musical notations
@Patrick Bentolila Are you searching for background in historical ornamentation? I have a friend who's an expert in that area, and I could ask her.
