🎵 Notes from April 15, 2023 meetup

Another delightful morning on a fabulous piano at Steinway Gallery. We welcomed Carolyn and Françoise and hope to hear them again.  Quite a few pieces were by composers not previously heard by the group.  Our biggest surprise was the Invention by Billy Joel, a composition in the Baroque style.

  • Grace: Invention in C minor, by Billy Joel
