🎵 Notes from May 5 2024 meetup

A pleasant way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.  David introduced his Yamaha Disklavier Pro with a demo of Sarah McLachlan singing and acoustically performing her own accompaniment on his piano.  There were two serious works by Carl Czerny that most of the participants had not heard before.
