   Yes, I already know what you mean. And I expected it. The Piano Institute
was this past week and she used the piano on which I had put the Well
Temperament for her general teaching. Everything was fine until someone
played Chopin. Then there was a little "face scrunching" done. Then someone
else played Liszt and she moved them to the other piano! :-) There was no
problem though, because I had warned her about this possibility.

   Hey Ed, I always thought that was "lead, follow or get the h*** out of
the way". :-)
   It's a week of 'firsts' for me. Tonight the George Crumb prepared piano
piece, "Voice of the Whale" is performed and then Saturday the Mozart Piano
Concerto with the HT. An interesting week.
