Re: Take your first steps into "The School of Virtuosity" with Sara Davis Buechner @Vidhya Bashyam yes they are there, but you can’t download them because they are blocked in the US - at least, they appeared to be when I tried this afternoon.

Re: Group 4 This is going to take my classical brain a while to absorb. Question (anyone!): is there a reason to leave out the 5th in the E-flat 7 and B-flat 7 chords but to include it in the F7?
