So a note is missing, Oh well.

You would be amazed how nice the opening to the Rachmaninoff second piano concerto sounds when you just chainsaw those arpeggios. (Not that I would do such a thing).

If you have Music Minus One for this piece, turn the orchestra track up.

Some people do order "shrunk" keyboards.

We make do!

Happy piano playing. Your secret is safe with me (and DU and the internet)

Mozart is said to have had small hands. An email request to him for advice has not gotten a reply yet.
