@Olli I hope so, but I think it will take me beyond the end of this challenge. The parts I haven't played yet seem to be the most difficult. I'm not exactly known for my patience in playing…

@Olli I actually listened to the Allegro first, then the Fugue, now your Prelude. How amazing that you're playing all three of these monuments! I know the Prelude is played much more often than the…

@Olli Incredible, Olli! Great sound on the recording. I love your dynamics and variations in tone color. That piece seems like an real workout, like trying to keep up with a speeding train.
