<p>Both musicians have firmly established reputations as fine performers and recording artists so their get-together has surely been a treat for listeners far and wide.</p>
<p>Just today, I broke out my <em>Bach with Pluck!</em>, and dashed off a few emails to Elaine about my reaction to the disk, piece by piece.</p>

<p>It was an overwhelming thumbs up, but the thought popped into my head to post a side-by-side acoustic piano rendering of the first offering, Invention 1 in C.</p>
