Re: Week 6:Reflections on the Journey: Final Touches @Sam Greenblatt Incredible! It's like you're running to keep up to a speeding train. Not only did you keep up, though, but you played it very musically.

Re: Week 6:Reflections on the Journey: Final Touches @Wai Wow! I have played several pieces from this opus, but I never even consider trying this one. You not only tried it, you succeeded quite well at getting it under your fingers. Amazing!
