Speaking of Shostakovich....for Stan, just to let you know, I playd
Shostakovich's 1st a few years ago, and not one single note was faked by
me! :) (Which includes fake fingerings and glossing over runs) But I've
not played the 10th yet....hehe, It sounds like you're having the
opposite problem, Roger!=20

I'm glad you're such a good sport, Stan. Don't you go changin' now!=20
