Sergei Rachmaninoff: Prelude in C Sharp Minor, Op. 3 No. 2. 

Played by me with my Korg SGProX digital stage piano controlling Yamaha Montage 8. The piano preset: Yamaha Montage CFX Stage. It sounds even better than my 2005 Motif ES synthesizer's piano sound which was already quite impressive. 

Played substantially slower than many pro players and e.g. the honourable Mr. Rachmaninoff himself on one recording (it may be also that I prefer this piece to be played a little slower than it is usually played). I got some speed however somewhere in the middle part.. I played it a lot faster however when I was young and didn't have to think about tomorrow. Because that's what this Prelude is about (much like the Scriabine etude Op. 8 No. 12): you really have to play it like there would be no tomorrow, so to speak, meaning, among other things, that you cannot think about some "secondary" things like hand injuries..

I learned this prelude initially in the 1990's at the time when also the piano movie "Shine" was released (the movie definitely was an inspiration). I practiced it countless hours with my Korg M1 synthesizer which was indeed not the best machine for this kind of piano music.  This was one of the first classical piano pieces I ever learned and, since I have learned it by myself without receiving any formal piano training whatsoever, this warrants the following conclusion: Anything is possible, remember that!

Last Waltz In Kracow is a musical track performed on Piano Solo that is perfect for moments of relaxation, reflection and, above all, to conciliate sleep. A magical atmosphere created especially for dreaming, relaxing and not thinking.

Last Waltz In Kracow - Valierre

A hymn for SATB Choir and Organ with Spanish words based on the traditional Catholic prayer of veneration and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Ave Maria,
Plenitud de gracia,
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria,
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
El Señor junto a Tí,
Cuán dichosa eres Tú,
Y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre,
Jesús.
Santa, Santa, Santa María,
Madre de Diós.
Ruega por nosotros.
Y en la hora de la muerte,
Mírame con compasión.
Amén.

Score and Parts available for performance by arrangement.
