Last week I fell sick : (first time in this year) and both piano and work schedule were affected... While I was getting recovered, on the other hand, compensation was prepared with luxury, one after another:
Firstly, I received another book, again from a friend, this time, an eBook - the first one I had ever got as a gift. I was so much impressed by the eDdedication that I even took screen shots!
And then, discoveries of my own wrong notes - foolish READING mistakes (TWO!!) that I never noticed before:
(Beethoven Op. 110) I always played D instead of D-flat
(Schubert D. 568) C!! Not C-flat like in the rest of measures - NO accidental here

To continue, finally bought this box-set: In my watching list for months... now lowered to 50+ EUR and Amazon Premium back home!
After the programmed Saturday evening with RTS Espace 2, there came the morning when I got to know on Facebook that it was the last day of "Mompou & Gaudí" Exhibition in the Museu de la Música, and it happened to be the first Sunday of the month - Of free entrance!
So I learnt that famous chord and listened to some works of his. Actually I saw it not very convincing to tie Gaudí to Mompou - The only feature they might share would be both are celebrated Catalan figures.
Things kept turning better. Today I have got to know a site named Coursera, and immediately subscribed to a course on Beethoven's piano sonatas, which will star TOMORROW!! This year has been definitely Beethoven to me. And I am not joking - the main aim probably will be to improve my English!
But before it get started, in less than 15 minutes, I can begin to read a new book of Alfred Brendel - thanks to a friend's linking this afternoon. Its Kindle version is to be launched two days earlier than the paper edition ^v^
