    This is one of those pieces that always make me happy when I hear them. Ralf plays it amazingly well! Simon Mayor has a good version too:

    I have the music for this in B flat and in G. I've practiced both. I like the sound of B flat better, and contrary to what I feared, it's really not all that much more challenging in B flat than in G!
