@Marc M Great job, Marc! And so organized to post BEFORE your camping trip. When we used to camp often (thanks, Boy Scouts!), I was so overwhelmed with packing that I barely had time to cook dinner.

@Priya Viseskul I love the tempo on your Pavane. Some folks take it a bit too slow, but yours is graceful and moves forward. Also, lovely dynamics.

@Lindsay Garritson Thank you SO much for your detailed comments. I am so glad you figured out what I was doing wrong with the turn in measure 5, since my edition just had a little squiggle notation…

Re: A Halloween Recital!
I will be out of town that day. But, if I can locate a piano I'd like to play William Bolcom's "Ghost Rag". I'll confirm once I find a piano, LOL!
