Re: How far can your hand stretch on the piano?
I can reach a 10th on the white keys with a full stretch, but don’t like too many of them in piece. I might roll them just not to tense up and possibly cause any injury to the hand!

Re: Group 4
@Juan Carlos Olite Bravo, Juan Carlos! Love your narrative, playing and interpretation of this piece. I was actually thinking a bit of that quality from Arietta too.

Sort of an “all-round pianist”. I specialized in popular music and jazz in my education, but have focused mostly on classical in later years. I do some occasional arranging and composing.
