(I think it was in the John Thompson's Third Grade book.)

But that was a spectacular interpretation of it.

It was one of my favorite pieces to play.

Sadly, I haven't touched a piano keyboard in 50 years.

... that I am definitely not cut out to be a harpist!

But I can play just about any tune you name on an mp3.

I'll see your Ms Wang and raise you a Ms Son.
I was at both these concerts.

PS I've also heard Ms Wang live 2 times.

I think Ms. Wang has the edge on creativity, but how about this: Ms. Wang is my favorite on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and Ms. Son is my favorite on Tuesday, and Saturday, with Thursday and Sunday reserved for Lang Lang, but with alternate Sundays reserved for Daniel Barenboim.





I envy you having seen them both in concert. Sadly, I now live too far from any good concert venues. (Fond memories of having lived in San Fransisco many moos ago, sigh...)

We'll just have to have a friendly disagreenent on the creativity score, but hey, that's ok.

We also disagree on lang lang. Lol.
But, we come together on Barenboim. That's pretty easy.

So many great Korean musicians. I know maybe 8 or 10.

I heard Kyung Wha Chung's Bach recital at Carnegie. Beyond amazing...
