Now, I have always wondered where my beloved Pleyel piano went - and it still sounds good!!!

That is a fascinating story - i listened to it on that link and it sounded quite nice for a piano of its time. Thanks for letting us know.

That's beautiful!

My pleasure - I shall be heading to Surrey to claim my property!

The playing of the Raindrop Prelude could be better though - the consecutive sixths were a bit harsh!

I though it brough insight into playing the "raindrop" It showed me that it is important not to go too big in the middle section.

Thanks for the link, but what an irritating recording! Why was the man allowed to waffle on about stuff that was in the printed article anyway - why not devote the time to the music? Grrrr.

FC, I wanted to start this thread!
Read that in the paper the other day and cried ...

(The man at the recording, someone should have suggested that he should shut up for a moment- With all my appreciation...)

I hope those were tears of joy!!!

If I could just touch have a glimpse of it!
