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.

Re: Group 3
@Angela Fogg Yes, that's a great suggestion, think I will copy that. Mainly focus on Op 10 no 1, and do the first sections of the others to get a feel of it. Thank you :)

@Juan Carlos Olite Excellent playing, Juan Carlos! One of my favorites, as it trains the mind very well in playing canon. And the melody is gorgeous.

Here is my take on the E-flat major inversion! I love the switches of scales and modes in this one. 🎶
