Mertz - Nocturnes 1 and 2 (Op 4)
Jack Stewart shared a video up above of Daniel GIrdner playing Mertz' first nocturne much more slowly than I had. I really enjoyed that, so I thought I'd give it a try. It does make for a much sharper contrast with the piu mosso section at the end. I only wish I could play the piu mosso a bit piu mosso!
And, just because Jack Stewart said he really loved Mertz' second nocturne, I thought I'd do that one as well.

Chopin Op.28 Prelude #15 Complete rough draft
Ok. I said I would have a full video of this Chopin Prelude this weekend. This is another on that is proving to be much more difficult than I anticipated. There is nothing that is overwhelming technically but it is really difficult for me to keep track of where I am musically. That is apparent in the listening
(as painful as that is). I hope I can refine this by week's end but I am not sure.
