    Wholly unrelated; but I wanted to share this, as this is one of my favorite pieces:
    Mateo Albéniz (not Isaac Albéniz), Sonata in D, as rendered by John Williams.
    I love Williams’ tone and articulation, but there is somethign about this piece that really grabs me.
    FWIW (not Buffalo Springfield)Report

    I want to save this until I have time to listen to it all the way through in one sitting. I’m afraid I might miss something if I listen to it piece-meal.Report
