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...…

@CK I definitely know what you mean by time flying. I used to play 2-piano music every summer...but the last time I did it was...1999. Crazy, huh?

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.

Re: VIDEO SUBMISSIONS
