@Derek That’s great, Derek! I love your tone. I played number 1-5 for my college “senior recital” more than thirty years ago, and I haven’t touched them since.…

@Steve Price Yes, the enormous stretches combined with having to move the left hand pinky around while holding onto a barre make this so difficult. I am tempted to simplify it,…
