Beautiful interpretation Dr. Macchioni. It's been a long time since i heard you play. Hope you make it to Juarez again!

Incredible insight, Dr. Macchioni!
The way you intertwine tips for performance and discussion of the form makes it very useful to justify the performance choices. The codetta that is transposed at the end before the final cadence is a great way to shape the overall unitary form.
