<DIV>Don,</DIV>
<DIV>I am proof that is DOES work. If Anton Kuerti memorized all of Beethoven's sonatas (which, there's only 32 by the way), that is insanity! He also performed Grieg's piano concerto at age 11. That is a prodigy...I am not. All of these pianists want the very best when they practice, and they can and do get it. I cannot afford a Bosdendorffer Imperial, much less a 4'8'' grand. If I could, I would be playing it all the time. When I practiced six hours a day, I had access to a Mason & Hamlin grand, three six foot Steinways, and two old uprights. Believe me, I have proven what my original statement said.</DIV>
