Btw, what piano is that? You get so much sound from the upper register.

It's the monstrous Bosendorfer Imperial 290... quite a fun piano to play.

Thanks!

Just recently returned here, so I may have missed more recent posts of yours.

Lord, what an ambitious undertaking!  Beautiful sound, Josh, and that impossible fugue actually made sense to me!  Such a mammoth piece will undoubtedly be a work in progress for the rest of your performing life.  Congratulations.

Are you working on a DMA now?  Or done with schooling?

Best,

Michael
