The weekly special (choco chip) was really good.

Now there's a concept whose time has almost come again (a friend of
mine has a project called The Moog Cookbook, where they realize pop music
hits on various vintage keyboards just for the parody of it all). Actually,
if I hear
*anybody's* rendition of Bolero again within my lifetime, it will probably be too
soon! But just for the GG connection, Kazdin's would be fun to check out.

I'm still partial to the Schoenberg miniatures (if their range would work)
and a bigger set by Debussy. The results on the Debussy were
a nice surprise (even with the historically inaccurate tuning....F-minors
take note!!) (8{0}
Of course, the Inventions & Sinfonias are also big faves
of mine; there's always room for another good-sounding set!
