Re: If You Could Only Listen to One Composer for a Year, Who Would It Be? Chopin, I listen to recordings of his compositions almost daily now. If you've heard Chopin, there's no reason to ask why. I love the cover image here, Martin.

Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice? Poet Mary Oliver advised that we give our second best effort of the day to our job. I practice every morning starting around 6:30. That gives me 90 minutes before I must get ready for the office.
