I listened to the first few episodes and found it wasn't quite clicking/was a bit frustrated by some character choices, so fell off. I love the whole cast and think they're great storytellers, but this just wasn't grabbing me. I'm wondering if I should try catching up or if it wasn't for me then, it just won't be.

For people who stuck with it, now that Arc 1 of Solari is concluded, how do you feel about it overall? Does the story feel settled and do you feel invested? I saw positive things about the preludes in particular and I wonder if those help to situate it better.

Thanks!

(Sorry if there's already a similar discussion, I couldn't find one.)

Hi, I'm thinking of bringing What Do I Need With Love? for an audition, and the second verse is (musically) just a repeat of the first before going into the bridge.

For my audition cut, I'd like to simply ignore the repeat symbol, skip the second verse, and go straight into the bridge. Is that an acceptable thing to ask of an audition pianist, or is any modification to the sheet music going to be seen as a pain?

My hope is that it's an easy enough thing to do, but I wonder if anyone has experience with this. Thanks!

Hi, I'm a PhD researcher trying to trace the origins/authenticity of a sketched portrait that's reproduced in several places. It seems it was part of the Hulton Archive, now shut down, which has been digitised online by Getty Images. But the Getty webpage doesn't state who the artist is or how the archive came upon it.

It's probably a lost cause, but does anyone know if this archive still physically exists in boxes somewhere, or anything else about what happened to it? Thank you.
