And a Giuliani piece, Opus 43 number 6. I have been meaning to learn this for many years, still needs some work. I remember it being used as the theme tune for a children's tv series, Tales of the Riverbank, in the 60's so I've included a couple of stills from the show in the video and here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VTn6VlUXNA&t=12s.!

Chopin's Op.28.15 Prelude (Raindrop) 1st draft 1st half
This has been on my list for a while. I started it at the end of the Transcription Challenge but didn't get very far. I believe I'll be able to finish it for this challenge.
This is a pretty rough first draft complete with obligatory glitches, though I feel I do have it under my fingers. I can play the next section (storm) but I want to have it memorized before I record as I have trouble keeping track of where I am when I read it.
As always, the real challenge will be in the phrasing and interpretation, especially with Chopin.
