Thank you. It's great to see you. Thanks for having me here.

It's a pleasure.

So I just played the Harmon-Karmen variations.

The Carmen, the theme was originally written by Bisei in his opera.

Then a great pianist named Vladimir Harowitz,

who is like my idol and I'm sure so many others.

And he's kind of like this legendary pianist and he created this insane kind of knuckle

buster of a piece creating like just making so many technical challenges but there's also just so much character and a lot of different colors in which I really

enjoy about the piece and that's so that's why I chose the first play this piece and

next I'm about to play the list

consolation number three. What I enjoy about it so much is it shows this kind of

other side of list. Normally when you think of list you kind of think of just really incredibly difficult like

octaves and just really fast finger work which you'll hear in the last piece but in this piece you really feel this kind of

consoling soothing melody it's just so simple but also so breathtaking at the same time so I hope you enjoy it. Okay, can I can. You're not going to be here.

You know?

Oh,

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Oh.
