Well, I think the title's decently explicit this time ;)

Cheers,

$20 for a single score? What?

this one's pretty good and 20 dollars less (nothing against astanova, she's as talented as she is hot).

i really like all of radnich's stuff, highly technical/virtuosic but good piano writting so it's doable with well developed standard technique

I'm wondering if anyone has done a piano transcription of the Dupré - Variations sur un Noël (for organ).

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
