Bonnie Kellert must be ecstatic

because of the standing ovation she received after today's solo piano concert at Epiphany Episcopal.

Four virtuoso pieces (19th century, many noted romanticism): Chopin nocturne, Mendelsohn theme and variations, Scriabin prelude and nocturne and Liszt waltz.

Only the last piece was familiar to me, but boy did I like the Scriabin. The nocturne portion is for the left hand only, but the lend hand sounds like (at least) two hands, and goes all up and down the keyboard (no, not glissando)
