---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some couple notes:

1. I've actually sped up Piano Sonata No.1 Movt.4 by a couple percent, because I always thought the original performance was slightly slow for my liking. Other than the tempo, it's still my favorite interpretation of the piece.
2. Mistake in 26:42: Op.59 10 Bagatelles No.8 should be No.7
3. Mistake in 28:00: This piece is performed by Marc-Andre Hamelin, not Nikolai Kapustin
