Andreas, Very nicely done! I, too, am learning this piece and you have inspired me to redouble my efforts. Ed
Alexander, Simply wonderful! I really like this prelude and your legato in the left hand of the poco meno mosso section was exquisite as was...
Monica, Add my name to the list of those who had never heard these before. Nicely done! I especially liked the Pleading Troubadour. Nice...
Pantelis, This was really nicely done -- good, clean articulation and you brought out the separate voices beautifully. Thanks for spending the...
Monica, No. The tendon that stabilizes the thumb on my left hand (also allows it to pull in) was torn in an accident (the thumb was dislocated)...

Here's one of Beethoven's Ecossaises that's not on the site yet. Ed
