Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week 4 Presti - Etude III (Apr 27) Here is an update on this. I'm really trying to play the chords very evenly, and not arpeggiate any of them. It gets hard in a few spots,…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three @joosje Thank you, Joosje. Here is a video of Linnemann playing the piece. If you watch it in YT and read the description, she explains the title briefly - I guess both she and Satie collect(ed)…
