nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.

Today!

Sorry to disappoint, but we have no recording.
Paul did a fine job! It's a piece I wrote some 30 years ago, and it's a piece pretty close to within my limited technical compass, so I had played it any number of times en famille. This was the first time I've heard the piece played upon a physical piano in decades, and Paul's performance took me back to the apartment in Petersburg. There were nine in the audience (incl. yrs truly) and everybody received the piece well. Maybe I should prepare a cb/pf version for Yun and Randy.

Perhaps the pianist could record it privately for you?

What was the reaction of the audience?  I am very happy that the piece was included in his concert!

People used adjectives including lovely and beautiful, so I am naturally pleased. And thank you!
