St. Louisians, I'll be in your city on Saturday, December 5. Let's do lunch! Who's interested in meeting for lunch at Hammerstone's in Soulard starting at noon? |

That sounds good to me, although I can't confirm it until we get closer to that date. Very close to Soulard is St. Francis de Sales Oratory, the IRCSS Oratory here in St. Louis. Do you think you'll be hearing Mass there that morning (8 A.M.)? If so I'll definitely be able to see you there, at the very least. In Christo Rege, ~Steven |

It sounds awesome. I don't know if I could get out to Soulard at that hour, BUT... that very day, the Webster University pianists are performing the whole of J.S. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Volume One, starting at 2 pm. I'm playing three of the twenty-four preludes and fugues, D Major, G Major and F Major, and the rest are covered by fellow students and professors. The performance is in Winifred Moore Auditorium, 470 East Lockwood Ave. I'd love to see some of you there!

That's awesome. I especially love the D major. Sadly, I live nowhere near St. Louis - otherwise, I'd be there! |

That sounds great! I wish I could make it there (it actually sounds more fun than the real reason I'm coming to your city). |

I'd love to see that! But unfortunately, it's not possible. |

Anytime I want, on CD  Though live, yes, that's a bit more rare! I could play them for myself I suppose, but I certainly don't know all of them, not even just Book I, and I can't even fathom how long that would take to learn  |

I'd rather focus on Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas (an even more monumental task!). Though sadly some of those will always be out of my grasp (I'm looking in your direction, "Hammerklavier"  ). And as for Bach, I think I will have to learn the Goldberg Variations before going back to the WTC. So much music, so little time... |

I'm doing his first Sonata, the lovely F minor, for my Junior Recital in February (the G major P&F is on the list too, as well as Chopin's posthumous Nocturne in C sharp minor and his Polonaises Opus 40. I foresee that I'm going to be practicing till I drop from here to January!) But the Hammerklavier is away beyond me right now, though that, the Waldstein and the Appassionata are definitely hanging out somewhere in my future. you know, I was in St. Louis once.
...once.
LOL! Well, hopefully you can come visit my glorious city again sometime, while I'm still around! |

Ah, the F-minor, possibly my favorite of his earlier sonatas. Good choice! The Waldstein is one of my favorite pieces of music ever! I was totally blown away the first time I heard it! I did have a handle on the Les Adieux around this time last year, but sadly, time ran short, and I'm totally out of practice on it now. Dang it  |
