  Juan Carlos Olite Vidhya Bashyam Andrea Buckland Derek McConville thanks very much for your kind comments! Beethoven wrote so many very relatable gems. A figure that was and is larger than life, and yet at the same time, so humanl!

  Ursina Boehm I finally made another recording of the first movement. Much too late, but at least I am in time for the Valentine’s concert 🤣
  
  not sure whether anyone will be reading this. If someone does, I would be interested to get some feedback.
  
  Best regards,

  Ursina Boehm That's very lovely Ursina. Yes several of us are still checking in on this thread. 4 weeks is just enough to get started on most of the pieces presented here. Sounds like you've got this movement thoroughly learned and under your fingers with your customary sparklingly clean technique. I look forward to hearing it again as it sinks in and springs back out from your heart.

  Judy Kuan thank you, Judy 😄 I still need some time to “digest” and then hopefully I dare to play by heart. I memorized this first movement, but I still feel not safe when recording. Unfortunately, I am not a fast learner 🤣

I’m going to do my best to make it to the watch party tomorrow but unfortunately my life has just been total chaos the last few weeks with so many things going on and deadlines. Too many irons in the fire as they say. So unfortunately I just haven’t been able to sit down and get Fur Elise recorded for tomorrow.
