@Vidhya Bashyam This is exceptional. I usually only ask ChatGPT for help in menu planning (which it does quite well). I need to expand my explorations, LOL!

@Thurmond R Thank you for your lovely description, Thurmond. Believe it or not, my great aunt (born in 1898) WAS a pianist for silent movies!! She said it was a very cool job and she was well paid.

@Juan Carlos Olite Your playing is so polished and professional. Each voice has its own personality and your phrasing is exactly what I would want to do (if I could play this piece).…

@Vidhya Bashyam Same here! This valse seems like it could easily be a ballet piece "en pointe"...I'm getting sort of a Tchaikovsky "Swan Lake" vibe.
