Mozart!

Yes, I'm back to focusing on Mozart -- the piano sonata and a solo piano version (by Hummel) of the 25th piano concerto.  Also looking at some of the minuets he composed as a child.  Main dish will be Mozart, with side dishes of Beethoven, Bryd, Chopin, Satie, and others.

William Byrd

Last night i read about William Byrd, the English renaissance composer.  I found his sheet music online, and downloaded his "My Ladye Nevells Booke" and I'm working on the first piece, My Ladye Nevells Grownde.  It has some notation I don't know, in renaissance style I suppose.  Much easier than the Mozart -- but I"m still playing the andante of the sonata.  Bryd sounds great with harpsichord or clavichord on the Yamaha.  And, I'm thinking of taking piano lessons in the fall -- to study Bryd's works, I think.

Mozart Piano Sonata

I can play the first and second movements.  They need work, of course, but I can play all the way through them.  Will start working on the rondo soon.  This is exciting!
