All 4 Scherzos! Cool.

You're going? Enjoy!

When you come back, do tell us all about it. In other words, don't make yourself scherz.

Yes, do tell us. Looks a great program.

So the concert was fantastic. His delicacy and tonal control are simply amazing. I loved his Satie and Debussy. And get this - he played the Ravel even better than I do! (well he did).

The Chopin was fund to watch. I paid special attention to how he approached all the leaps.

(for those who don't know, he's completely blind)

You know how all of our teachers tell us to move our hand into position early, to the extent possible, to make sure it's in in place and give ourselves a tiny bit of time to play the note without harshness? Well, he''s better at that than anyone else.

He also does it constantly, even in movements that most of us wouldn't categorize as 'leaps' but still involve moving the entire hand. It's so impressive to watch, at times it seems like your watching a video with slightly out of sync audio, where the movement occurs ever so slightly before the sound. I think he also leaves the note before a leap earlier than most would, at least in some cases, to give him that tiny bit more time to find the landing spot. He's creative with the pedal to get away with this.

And by the way, he often needs that time for correction. Many times I saw him leap a little too far and do a sub-second correction and find the right note. Again, it's safe to say he's better at this that the rest of us. It's really amazing to watch. It's also inspired me to do a better job on this.

You can what I'm talking about on some of the youtube videos of him playing.

Interesting - about the technique.

I shall look for a you tube.

BTW are you aware or have you played a Tracker Organ. There is a delay between playing a note and hearing the sound. Often rather hard to get used to!
"Tracker action is a term used in reference to pipe organs and steam calliopes to indicate a mechanical linkage between keys or pedals pressed by the organist and the valve that allows air to flow into pipe(s) of the corresponding note."
