GG: Beltran bonus mini-CD -- what is it?

[Tim Conway <tpconway@ozemail.com.au>]

Hello Junichi and Miners,

Some time ago you (ie, Junichi) mentioned on the list that a Japanese 
company called Beltran had CDs of some GG stuff that was not generally 
available. I wrote to Beltran and ended up buying a couple of GG CDs, one 
of which was the Little Bach Book (LBB).

I'm putting this on the list because other readers may be interested to 
learn that with the LBB CD came a mini-CD containing abut 20-25 minutes 
of music. Unfortunately, as the CD was a Japanese production (and very 
good, too, I might add), the accompanying liner notes and other material 
were all in Japanese, so I have no idea what was on the mini-CD.

Well, 'no idea' is an exaggeration: I recognised nearly all of the pieces 
(all piano stuff), but as one of them was Chopin that I'm sure GG never 
played (the Revolutionary Study?), and others were GG-played stuff but 
didn't sound like him at all (although, who knows?), I thought I would 
ask Junichi if he could tell me and the list what the pieces were and who 
was playing them...and whether these mini-freebies are common in Japan 
(I'd never seen one before). There were about 15 pieces, all of them 
short, ie, only the first movement or first part of each piece in 
question.

Anyone in the US, Canada, UK or Europe seen anything like this mini-CD 
bundled with other normal-sized CDs? 

I'm looking forward to Junichi's reply, assuming of course that he has 
also bought the same CD and mini-CD. Regards to all,

Tim
