Dear Carl - you forgot the part in my post about technically SIMPLE chamber
music. You scared the living daylights out of me when you listed off all those
pieces you did. At this point, I can't even begin to contemplate them. I'm
beginning to work on the 1st movement of the Brahms second sonata, and the runs
are still technically difficult for me. That gives you an idea of where I am.
I really need a beginner's group, maybe a band camp. I don't see myself even
attempting those pieces you mentioned for another 2 years at least. But,
thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep your suggestion in mind for a later
time. If you know of a retreat that is more basic, I'll consider that.

Cheers

Audrey
