Hans, you have a very firm grasp of reality. It leaves little room for us idle dreamers. I read somewhere that most recordings sold are no longer on CD but via a file sent through the computer. How times have changed. To answer the question as to how to make recordings that are almost bound to have very little market value without having to rent a house to stack the unused disks I would suggest skipping the "solid" recording altogether. Record the works in your living room with a friend playing the piano and then offer them for a fee through the web, just like itunes, or maybe through itunes. A person could sell upwards of 50 copies a year and make almost $12.00! I hope you are enjoying your retirment Hans as much as I am enjoying mine. Have another nice day.
