Re: Maria João Pires and Memorization
I have seen it, how inspiring and amazing is that. While I pray nothing like that ever happens to me, I'm always astounded when something I played years ago surfaces from muscle memory.

Re: What is your daily practice routine?
@Gail Starr I'm glad you like it - I know I'm a little obsessive with how I allocate my practice time - I'm sure it would be overkill for many, but I find it useful

Re: Handel Chaconne: Masterclass!
