Re: The Search for Nelly Gray, VIII Scherzo

Re: Recover not working
Hi Sherry,
You don't give yourself enough credit. Recover, set 2/2, has worked without a hitch on files of up to over 3.5MB, and saved me a lot of re-construction on several occasions. (Maybe there...

Hi,

Re: Mark Walsen - Parallel Intervals for Piano
Hi Mark,
I nearly mentioned Hannon's Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises last night, as an example of pure etudes. I don't think anyone would call this music, and I agree that there are probably few...

Re: Mark Walsen - Parallel Intervals for Piano
Hi Mark,
Seems to me you have met the challenge you set yourself very well. You've also made a strong case for not only rhythm, melody and harmony (even as intervals) as basics of music, but also...
