Hello Shirley from the UK. I’ve enjoyed watching your videos for sometime now. I wish that I lived closer to you as would enjoy having you as my teacher. Love the way you sing/hum to help explain how to play pieces. Your terms and explanations are very helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. You are definitely at one with your piano when you play the piano sings beautifully ❤ Happy New Year to you and please keep sharing new videos with us. Best wishes. Ruth 🎹🎶🥰

There is a piece in F Sharp Minor in this Op. 19 ser, possibly, No. 5. It is a fully developed piece in sonata allegro form, and has always drawn me.
