A0, was to repair or not to repair

Ok.  I found a couple minor printing errors in it and fixed them...
namely adding the stacatto marking to the right hand chord (where there
is already stacatto in left hand but I forgot to put it in right hand)
and on the first bass note (Bb0 - I added the Bb1 in the image that
should have been there but apparently my cursor was blinking on that note
when I took the screenshot from the sheet music editor.)    Yes... it
encompasses, well... ALMOST the entire keyboard... I think it only goes
up to Eb7.  I'll have to make one sometime that goes to C8 at least. 
What do you think of that clip, though, to test the bass response of
spinets and baby grands  (as well as other pianos of course)?  :)

Thanks for sharing, Stephen.  I printed it and will
give it a whirl.  Looks interesting, and certainly
encompasses the entire keyboard.
