<![CDATA[Garrick Ohlsson on Chopin's First Ballade]]>This is gold! It's a continuation of a short clip I posted not too long ago. I'd love to see the whole class, but Tonebase premium isn't cheap... but I'm tempted.

I like his analogy for the piano, "a box of decrescendos", starting around the 6:29 mark. It ties in to the discussion of tone in the study Mary Anna posted.
