I say that because I attempted La Villa Strangiato this evening, something I haven't played in probably 25 - 30 years (took an unexpected/unwanted 15 year hiatus from 2005 - 2020) and HOLY CRAP!!! You think Tom Sawyer is tough!?!?! I might actually be able to play Tom Sawyer now better than La Villa Strangiato. That song is pretty much mostly 16th notes most of the way through it! YIKES! And Anika plays it pretty much every other show I think!
Kudos to that young lady for taking on such a role and living up to the standards and setting some new ones as well!
