I'm enjoying your quest from the safety of my living room. I'm not as excited about the modern Bluthner pianos. I've played all of the pianos you're trying. An exceptional instrument by any one of them could work for me - but generally I'm inclined toward a Hamburg S&S or Bosie. I've not played many Faziolis - so they might win the day as well.

Which Bosie? One of the more traditional 225/200 or one of the new VC series)

I'd probably lean toward the VCs - but I'd play the field to see if one hit me right. I'm a piano-slut. I've fallen in love with a couple of nice Yamahas, a Bosendorfer 280VC, and a really nice B at Klavierhaus years ago, and a Baldwin SD10 long ago. I've never particularly been in love with any Bechsteins or new Bluthners - sorry, Kenny. I've liked but not loved M&H and the 3 Faziolis I've played.

I think they are so different that one cannot love both. It's either or.

Yeah - I understand - which is why I'd like both.

People refer to the arts and the sciences so why not maths?

I learned everything I know from the 1893 Columbian Exposition. They had a hall dedicated to the arts and sciences. But it was math back then. It's just the past couple of decades that "maths" has been sneaking into our American lexicon. Next, we'll be spelling things improperly - colour me perplexed.

So, you're saying we're getting contaminated by the folks across the pond?

This has bugged me for a while. WTF do people refer to "Maths" as opposed to "Math"? When I was growing up, one studied math. Of course, there are many types of math. But now, we need to refer to it as I study maths.

We don't say we study "musics" - as there are different types of music. Should I say I listen to musics?

Following past experience, might be intriguing if they give his successor a Nobel Prize - just for not being Trump.

Yeow! So, before Mark asks, how is the amp?? Maybe try and exercise bike at the gym? Alternatively - go on Facebook Marketplace. You can procure one pretty inexpensively.

Happy for you! Congratulations!!

This fellow was in our yard last month...

And these two strolled past the house - a long way from any forested areas.

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.
