Bach and Beethoven are both Krauts and the Well Tempered Klavier AND the 32 Sonatas are considered the "Old Testament" and "New Testament" of piano music...

Bach is great for finger independence and how to properly bring out inner voices....And I've been working on Ludwig's "Pathetique" Sonata, (#8 in C minor Op.13), which us fun for all the Sturm und Drang in the terrific first movement.

Wagner didn't write much for the piano, except for a couple of very youthful piano sonatas....which are seldom played - for good reason, (they ain't that hot.) His son-in-law Franz Liszt wrote some incredibly difficult transcriptions of Wagner's opera music excerpts but I haven't the time or dedication to even try 'em.

BTW....the ancient Sumerians and Egyptians were brewing beer long before Germanic tribes started scribbling cave drawings.....

PROST!!!!

"I am the stone that builder refused, I am the visual
The inspiration that made lady sing the blues
I'm the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know yo' left from yo' right
I am the ballot in yo' box, the bullet in yo' gun
The inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son
The story that just begun - the promise of what's to come
And I'm 'a remain a soldier 'til the war is won"
