    I wanted to give myself a few hours of solid practice and see how well I

    could stumble through Chopin's mildly famous

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tude_Op._10%2C_No._12_(Chopin)">Revolutionary

    Étude</a>. Probably one of my favorite pieces, and definitely one of my favorites

    to play. It's basically the only piece in my repertoire that I play 

    semi-consistently, i.e. it's the one I trot out to impress people.

<p>

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Watts">Andre Watts</a> played it

    for Mr. Rogers and after Watts finished Mr. Rogers exclaimed

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ4Kgr4sggQ">"I'm so proud to be your friend!"</a>

</p>

<p>

    Which is basically the greatest compliment a human being could ever receive.

<p>

    My most egregious errors were a sloppy left hand in the G♯ minor section,

    and just absolutely wailing that low F instead of the low E. You can tell

    when it happens cuz I break out the stank face.
