@Gail Starr Thanks Gail. I loved your zoomed duet of the Marche Militaire. Now you have to do Schubert Fantasie in f minor long distance! PS Does it ever snow in Winter Park, Florida??

I’m old. I still actively work fixing hearts. I love piano but am not a pianist. I don’t have a teacher - just listen to good pianists. Hope to be able to learn and memorize some pieces even though I have no technical skills.
