The Nonpareil--------- Scott Joplin 

Большое спасибо за вашу постоянную поддержку, дорогая Елена. Мне понадобилось столько времени, чтобы узнать эту штуку, и как вы услышите, я все еще не могу воспроизвести ее без неправильных заметок! ~ Джон ~

John Whitehead рояль отвечает Вам, и сама суть этой музыки , ее красота, донесена до слушателей абсолютно точно и ясно, мне хочется слушать снова и снова, это главное!

Many thanks from Cambridge UK ! ~John~

Merci beaucoup pour votre gentillesse, chère Monique. Oui, je vais retourner à Chopin ensuite. C'est un morceau avec moins d'accords qui blessent mes mains vieillissantes! J'espère que votre élection produira un meilleur résultat que le nôtre! Gros câlins amicaux de Yuriko et moi.

Many thanks for watching and for your kind comment, Marjorie. Yes, this angle has the advantage of my not having to be clearly seen !! Best wishes ~John~

Thank you so much, Macky san! I was not able to play this without a few wrong notes and I hope they did not spoil your enjoyment too much. Best wishes for the weekend ~John~

Thank you so much, dear Hella, Yes, it was far too difficult for me to play without wrong notes! ~John~

Glad you enjoyed it. Michelle. Thanks for listening!

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement Tatsu san. Sometimes I feel that I need more hands.... ~John~

Thank you Kedi! Actually, each of the four sections should be repeated which would make the piece twice as long. I would need two panama hats to get through that without making an even bigger mess of it! ~John~

Thank you for watching, Joel. Yes, Joplin is great fun. I alternate Joplin with classical pieces to keep a balance. I am working on Chopin Prelude no.13 at the moment. It's such a beautiful piece and I would really love to hear you play it sometime. ~John~

That's a wonderful Prelude! It's on my list of pieces to learn. I look forward to hearing your performance of it!

Merci beaucoup pour votre aimable louange, mon bon ami! Bien amicalement ~ John ~
