Host: Luc
There was a full house on Sunday on a cool afternoon in brilliant sunshine. The arrival of spring seemed to have inspired a number of the players to play some challenging works.
We had a five-way tie in the composer competition: Scriabin, Handel, Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Beethoven with two pieces played for each of them. I am awarding the prize, with the large cash award, to the newcomer on our list: Rachmaninoff.
