    Arrangement of Tchaikovsky, Souvenir d'un lieu cher, Melodie

    Schubert-Liszt "Der Müller und der Bach" VIDEO

    That's exactly it. You're a biased listener; you know what to listen for, and you hear what you want to hear. It sounds fine to me too: if I know...

    Puzzles, Jokes, Anecdotes, and Thoughts

    I thought this was going to turn out to be a temperament joke. Everyone knows that Ceesharp and Deeflat simply aren't identical. Anyone who thinks...

    Couperin - Les Baricades M. and a little Granados

    Couperin - Les Baricades M. and a little Granados
