They have the colossal technique and temperament you associate with pianists of the Russian school; they also have a virtually flawless ensemble, the kind most duos take years to achieve, if they are ever so fortunate." The couple combined their formidable talents and began working as a team with the revered Dr. Ludmilla Tsvierko in Kiev, under whose tutelage, the duo won prizes in the Concertino Prague, the Lysenko Piano Competition, the Paris Chamber Music Competition and the Ukrainian Chamber Music Competition as well as first prize in the 1991 Murray Dranoff Two-Piano Competition in Miami.

What temperament(s) would be suitable to use with the Mendelssohn Piano Concerto #1 in G-minor? Explanations are very helpful to my understanding of proper and improper temperaments to use. Wanting to expand the number of tools in my temperament tool-box. Addressed to the list ... Short answers please. Addressed to me... you can write a whole book. Thanks! David David A.
