Re: End-of-Summer Showcase
I'll play Schubert Moment Musicaux #2 and/or #6 via video. Afternoon thunderstorms often create an unstable internet connection where we live.

So, I invited Franz over for a lovely kaffee mit schlag, and he sat down at my piano to help me out with his lovely Moment Musical #3. Please excuse the mistakes. Franz had jet lag.

@Michelle R I loved seeing and hearing you & Thurmond playing together. This brought back memories of me accompanying my son when he was studying violin, and then, later on, singing!
