Small Talk - 26 Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 "Tempest"
I've been playing 17 "Tempest" for a while now. I have never tried it before, and this is my "first" attempt at all. It is a very famous song (Moonlight, Tempest, etc.), and I have been a bit hesitant to play it. But I've tried to type it up to number 32, and now... -

Small Talk - 22 Again YouTube Clams on Copyright Infringement, but it's funny!
I uploaded Bach's Goldberg Variations, Aria (piano version) to YouTube and immediately received the following two copyright infringement claims from SME (Sony Music Entertainment). Again, I immediately filed an objection, but this time to a rather curious copyright infringement claim... -
Small Talk-21 Late Three Piano Sonatas by Beethoven
After having played Beethoven's piano sonatas up to this point, I feel that these three pieces from the latter half of his career are not particularly like Beethoven's works up to that time.
