I’m coming back to New York today from Sarasota refreshed about 5 days in the sun. It was a great break, but I’m eager to get back to work with you.

On Monday, we’ll work on the rest of the Burns, the rest of the Yagisawa, and both the second and third movements of the Bolcom.

See below for a detailed list of what to practice in the Bolcom!
