I just want to give a report on the D I had trouble with. A big thanks to  
David Love for the voicing help. I did what he suggested, (a couple of drops of  
laquer/tinner on the shoulders, and a dab of acetone/keytops on the top). The 
 piano came alive. Obviously I had to do some voicing, but in general, the  
piano sounded great. I spent a total of about 4 hours on it. 
 
Just in time, too. On Monday Peter Frankl played the Emperor Concerto with  
the Tuscaloosa Symphony. He played the Brahms here last year, and was expecting 
 the same sound as before. When he first played the new version of it, he  
didn't like it. But after warming up, and rehearsing with the symphony, he  
decided he did like it, although he requested some shift voicing in the killer  
octave. 
 
After the concert I had quite a few very positive comments from members of  
the faculty. I have not heard yet from the piano professor, but then I haven't  
seen him yet either. 
 
So, thanks again to David, and the rest of you, for all your help.
