I am sorry, I make spelling mistakes, I will make many more in the future.

I find my self explaining time after time that as a teacher it is my duty to give the studens the information and let them choose. I don't have to dictate what is good and what is bad.
In any case, the "poorly written" Mendelssohn sonate is much better than any Rubank etude.
