    I started the Gluk piece. I have the first four measures coming along nicely.

    I had my piano tuned yesterday and my tech has put me in touch with a new teacher who lives about 1 mile from me. I want to start taking lessons again.

      Since nobody else here posts recordings I guess I will stop doing so as well. Especially if they are opportunities for inanities about all classical performances being essentially the same, (except Jon’s, which are inferior), or how hand and arm movements are affectations.

      Education is extremely important.

        I was going to post a video of my Yuja Wang, but I didn't want people to get it confused with Jon's thread about unfortunate names.

        I was only joking

          For the unfortunate among you that weren’t at the party on the 27th, he means the Melody from Gluck’s Orfeo, transcribed for piano by Sgambati. It’s one of the pieces I played.

          Mark is playing off a copy of my Dad’s old score, complete with his hand-written ornamentations that he notated from Rachmaninoff’s recording:

            The b minor Scherzo is fun - some repetition shortens it a bit. While I have the notes in my hands and much of it memorized, getting it secure at tempo may take a while.

            I've been working on the Rachmaninof/Kreisler Leibesleid forever - and it's fully memorized - but I've never been pleased with my playing of it. I'm currently working on the Liszt/Schubert Ständchen. It sounds better on the digital than on the real piano - so I need to work on that a bit.

              Sorry I meant the Bb minor. The most popular of the set. It seems appropriate for two guys that learned the Gm Ballade together.

              Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                I’ve heard you play the leibesleid. You did it pretty respectably back in 2018 at your house.

                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                  Shifting gears back to a Chopin waltz. I met with the new teacher and he suggested i do the Op64. No 2 or the Op69. No. 2.

                  Both are wonderful pieces. Not sure which one I will be choosing. I will be going through both of them over the next few days to figure out which one to learn first.
