Hallo Zheer,On the other hand, if what I had conveyed in my message seems to be a joke, this is what I have been taught in Germany where I worked for a long time. Either one or all of the Sonata's (usually 3, sometimes 4) Movements need be played in PUBLIC performances. Warm RegardsProf Narayanan
Dear Prof. Narayanan, Now, the only reason why zheer probably reacted was that he had no idea of this cultural nuance among many asians. BTW, I am from the Philippines.
- the former Attorney General of India, Mr Soli Sorabjee was a great Jazz musician - but I do not know if he also played the piano.
