Re: What's the last LIVE concert you attended!

Re: Suggested Repertoire!

Re: The Music of France! Piano Community Challenge
Has anyone played any pieces by Cecile Chaminade? I knew nothing about her until yesterday, and I'm now a big fan. Can't seem to nail down one that I can learn in 3 weeks, though...…

Re: Welcome!
@Lc Ooooh! I love playing Scaramouche! Maybe we can try that in the future? I'm a bit overloaded until July with non-piano and chamber music commitments, though.
