I found this place because my teacher asked me to look for a four-hands piano piece for a recital.  Never found one, or rather, I never chose one.  Recital came and went.  She wanted me to do the Chopin Polonaise in A 4hands.  Hate this piece as a solo, how am I going to like it as a duo?

Since then, I've found that this is a great resource where a sh*t load of information is passed around, some accurate, some not, but it's still a sh*t load of crap I've never heard before.  So I just used it as an information database of sorts for a few weeks.  Then I got bored when I was able to catch up with all the posts.  Then it turned into a social gathering of sorts - there are actual people here!  No sh*t!  I have some virtual people to talk to. :D
