212-Manhattan Island Serenade/Oude Maasweg kwart voor drie

Again a song I haven't played in years and years. And, of course, first take, no cuts. Meaning: the usual 2 or 3 real mistakes and no optimal vocals, mostly working on the keys ;-) My advice is to stop at 4:10, after that I just delve into the chords and try out some stuff , with some horrible misgrips and loosing all music that was before from time to time. Unless of course you are interested in the exploration, that is ;-)
Some of it I very much like though! And will delve into it deeper. Correction: have been digging with it for some more time already, sweeeet, love doing that and discovering new places...it's in my head now and won't leave until I spent quite a lotta more time with it...

200-Etude pour la main droite

Just 3 days after I broke my wrist...  Pain has subsided just about enough (with max dose painkillers that is :-( ) to think about playing the piano again.  And of course more than slightly worried, though not overly so as it's not broken in a very dramatic way; just clean broken, no complications.  So let's see for now what I can do with just one hand...
   Takes some time to realise there's no left hand: I start out just playing right hand, from time to time missing left.  Then I switch modes, and discover some new possibilities for right hand...
