Re: Sounds of Summer: June Recital!
I would like to play Scott Joplin’s “Pine Apple Rag.” I’ll plan to play live but may have to submit a video if I have to be out of town (still waiting to find out.)

Re: Summer's Crescendo: the August Concert!
I'd like to play Chopin Nocturne Op. 55, No. 1. Since that is Labor Day weekend in the US, we may be out of town, in which case I'll submit a recording. I hope I can attend it live, though!

Re: Preparing for a Master Class
@Tanya Yes! I love Zimerman's recordings! I also love the Horowitz No. 3 on YouTube -- it amazes me how his hands barely seem to move.

Re: Preparing for a Master Class
@Tanya LOL! Too funny. Which Impromptu was it? I did the E-flat with my old teacher ... I think it was Op. 90, No. 2, maybe? Lots of scale passagework.

Re: Preparing for a Master Class
@priscillayam Thanks! I am using a Henle Urtext edition, but I can get a clean copy for the masterclass. I hadn't thought about that, or the possibility that they would be making notes on the score.

Re: Preparing for a Master Class
@marina Thank you so much! I hadn't thought about it being something where the "master" is also under pressure. And I like the idea of directing him toward certain areas where I need help. Thanks!
