PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT….I have Schubert’s Impromptus playing in my car right now, and it’s reminded me yet again of what lovely pieces of classical piano music these are. If you like classical piano but for some reason don’t already own them, you should run right out and buy a copy immediately.

Just thought I’d mention it.
