Subject: RE: Rachmaninoff..I know he ain't folk, but,
I downloaded the entire Real Audio file that Masato linked to, but then it wouldn't play. It said it was not a Real Audio file. Does anyone know what causes this? I've had the message before. I think my RA is an updated version.

Also, Rick, whether or not #2 is difficult to play...I couldn't tell exactly from listening...but I don't think it is. There are lots of big chords, but they didn't seem to be extremely fast or jumping around a lot. I think Liszt was the one who wrote music that required large hands...a tenth instead of just an octave. Some of Chopin's trills and intricate rhythms are harder for me. Or shall I say "were." My MS has severely limited my dexterity.
