A smaller group of dedicated pianists met at John's house for an afternoon of piano playing. The group welcomed first-time member Adrian, who has a special interest in Ludwig van Beethoven.
The music covered a diverse range, with only one composer (Beethoven) contributing more than one piece. So, the winner of the most popular composer for October is out long time friend Ludwig.
And an oddity: there were more performances played in round 2 than round 1.
