So excited! I can't wait for this event!!!

I’ll have to watch the recording later. He’s so fantastic. I was lucky enough to see him play an all Brahms program in Sacramento a few years ago. Heavenly!

If the Barcarolle is being discussed, I'd like to ask for suggestions on the hand motion for the '6ths' starting at measure 14 and continuing in different keys. I'm having trouble being fluid with them without causing hand/wrist strain.
Also, the last 'cadenza' at the end of the piece; the hand /wrist motion to gain smooth execution.
Thank you

I have the page up for the session, but I don't see the chat yet. This will be on for the livestream, I hope? I'm sure it will be, but I also remember in one of the recent livestreams it was off for half of the livestream, so I want to make sure before hand.

Thurmond R Chats are typically turned on 30 mins before the stream!
If you have questions, leave them here for now!

This was very enjoyable! Thank you, Mr. Ohlsson! Thank you to the students and to Ben and Dominic for presenting this!
As I emailed to Ben and Dominic, I loved the thoughtfulness of all involved. It was refreshing to hear Ben ask the students more probing questions about what they thought of various aspects under discussion.
Dominic, as always, was superb at displaying whatever was being discussed. That supports the learning process significantly!
Excellent - all the way around!
