This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Been in one of Don's classes (I think he's an excellent teacher) but it = was only one session and more pre-voicing than voicing. And, as you say, = Kawai oriented. Hoping to see Roger Jolly's whole show (only seen the second = part of his) at National. =20 Hope to meet you and many of our cyber-pals there, too. Met several yesterday at the home office. I like piano people, I really do. So how = come it can get so nasty on the list, sometimes? ;-} =20 Alan R.

Of course, his presentation may have changed in the past 20 years...... :-) =20 But, it was Wally who explained it the best to me *eons ago* and got me going--where the hammer needs to be hard, where it needs to be soft, = etc. Power, attack, sustain, what kind of stitches to make with the needles, reducing weight. I was eager and ready, I had my information and went = with it. I've found (my opinion!) that the basic rules pretty much hold true = no matter what hammer you're working on, BUT! the different types of = hammers require different approaches to accomplish those same goals. You could think of it sort of like variations on a theme (if you catch my drift). = Of course, every once in a while you get a Surprise Symphony! When that happens, you reach into your voicing bag of tricks (I'm always adding to mine) and find something that will work. =20 Much luck, =20 Barbara Richmond =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 Alan R.
