@Gail Starr Fenomenal sightreading skills, Gail!
The one from Soirées de Vienne is a big favorite! And I must say I love what Liszt did with it.

Re: Tonebase Bach Stage
Bravo, Juan Carlos! Well done with all the changing of characters and mood, and a very convincing melody line. I’m clearly guilty of not having done any Bach-posting for a while.…

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.
