Chopin Nocturne

I've started a project recently for my beautiful little niece, Amelia.  Her mom (my sister), asked me to record some classical piano solos for Mila to listen to.

Here's the first recording, Chopin's Nocturne in E flat Major.  Incidentally, this piece was the favorite of my late grandfather, Dick Sauble.
