Music played on October 15, 2017

Music played October 15, 2017.

Thank you to Mervyn for being our welcoming host. And for providing a unique opportunity to play on a beautiful Bechstein grand piano.  We're having a good run of great pianos to play.

The music came from a broad range of composers this session.  Only Mendelssohn and Beethoven had more than one piece played (two 'slots' each).  The tie is broken by Mendelssohn having four pieces played by one person.  Congratulations!
