It was in fact DePeyer's version of the Saint Saens sonata that inspired me=
to learn the work. I was curious to find out what was so difficult about=
the beginning of the last movement, that made DePeyer stumble..... imagine=
my surprise when I saw the music and found there is nothing too difficult=
about it!!!! (Especially if you practice your scales - in the 'easy' keys,=
no less. Nothing too "wierd" about those scales!!)
