I thought it would be fun to revive this old thread–any more suggestions of show-off pieces? One advantage of being retired is having much more time to really practice and learn new repertoire. After Christmas, I decided to relearn “La Source” by Hasselmans. What a project, to really learn this delightful piece and memorize it. There are some 70 pedal changes in the ten pages, with 17 of them on Page 6 alone! I memorized it quickly so that I could play it perfectly on the piano, but the pedal changes would “sneak up on me” when I played it on the harp. But now it is firmly back in my performing repertoire, to the delight of all my friends!
Hope all of you are enjoying this beautiful Sring! Best thoughts and harp hugs.
