well all this is really barely recognizable :'( one important point I think is that you get a halfway decent instrument...I love the cuckoo clock though ;D

"con mortuis in lingua mortua" means "With the dead in a dead language" Easy to look up on the net. This needs time and resonance.  I get the impression that you care as much about the titles as you care about what and how you play, actually... Even if you would play wonderfully on a totally out of tune crap piano at least there would be music and feeling and a message and everybody who has an idea about this music would understand it...

Yes, you're correct about getting a decent instrument, my recordings sounds like you-know-what.
