Re: Week 4: Classical Crescendos @Wai Gorgeous Wai! I really like your transcription. Robert de Visee used to play Louis XIV off to dreamland at Versailles, as I recall. Such resonant tone!

Re: Week 1: Whispers of Wood @Jack Stewart Thanks for introducing me to this lovely Chopin Mazurka. And memorized! Good for you. At this point I often ask myself what is the story I’m trying to tell. That’s the fun part.

Re: Week 4: "The most fearsome beasts are tamed with a gentle melody." @Jack Stewart Thank you Jack! I think all musical experiences that we love help us. My Dad and I used to play piano violin duets on Sunday afternoons. I’m sure that helped.
