@Antonella Di Giulio Molto grazie! I practiced a great deal when I was growing up, then other things (life!) got in the way. It's so nice to return to something I enjoyed so much as a kid.

@Juan Carlos Olite My favorite Haydn Sonata! I learned it when I was 11 years old, and I found an old recording my dad made from back then that I'm including for fun. Haydn e minor Sonata

@Antonella Di Giulio I think that Dominic shared info with us on some wonderful Brahms exercises many months ago? I was enjoying them and then got too busy to give them the attention they deserve.
