@jon-nyc Know this guy? Carlo Grante I bought a couple of the volumes. Nice playing.
Yes I do. I have his Godowsky-Chopin etudes. Though you have to listen to them before you’ve heard Hamelin play them.

@jon-nyc Suggestion for a new project: read through all of the Haydn Sonatas. Many little-known gems. Over 50 to survey!

Yes! THey're good sight-reading material, indeed, if taken slowly.
So are the slow movements from the Mozart sonatas, but @jon-nyc won't go there, amirite?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@jon-nyc That is awesome that you did that.
Did you notice improvement in your playing/site reading after this?

Oh yeah. Sight reading is much better though I still have a long way to go.
The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

Jon, it really is great you tackled all the Scarlatti.
But staying true to form, I'll continue to help:If you ever do perform them, I hope you explain who Kilpatrick was. I've never heard of him. Maybe just go by "Ralph K."(?)

Oh, by the way, shouldn't it be "Scarlatti and I?"

Depends on whether they are the subject or object which I left ambiguous

Really? I'd say they are one league up in terms of difficulty compared to most Scarlatti sonatas.
I personally use Opus Clavicembalisticum for sight-reading practice.
