Description: Go Play Week #18 - Sonata No 14 "Moonlight: (3rd Movement) - Beethoven

@cross-eyedpianist: Thanks Fran. I really want to redo that one...but I'm forging onward. Will definitely revisit the whole sonata soon.. I'd love to get it at performance level....

I've performed this myself at juries and performances and I know it's a bear of a piece to play so congratulations! I do want to say, however, though that the tempo wavered a bit and could have used a bit more forward momentum.  In places it needed more energy.

Wow, you learned this in one week?! Have you played this before? Nicely done!

Peek into a practice session. This is my third time playing the piece, after a five year break. So refreshing!

Night Drive

Recorded in '05 in Sweden, with Swedish pianist Ha-Young Sul.  I am playing secondo; this was a single take, and from memory.  Reverb is natural, and we had a wonderful view of the sea...  I remember her being rather annoyed that I insisted we keep this take, because we sort of explode at the end, and to balance gets a little bass heavy (my fault), but to me, it works in a different way; This is like a dragon fight in Schubert;s language, and I was just being the dragon :)

Scubert Fantasie in f minor, Piano 4 hands

Every day there are sad news from Syria ... hopefully the killing stops soon. 


The music was inspired by the image of Syria children from The Lost Backpacker. (http://www.thelostbackpacker.com/)

L'isle joyeuse (Debussy)

Live concert recording. This dramatic piece by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin is a foundation stone of romantic piano music, and of the etude genre. Thanks for listening!

Scriabin - Etude in D# minor op8no12

In 2012 I made the commitment to record one piano piece each week and post it here to SoundCloud, each piece in its raw and unedited state. My goal was to overcome my  fear of being judged -- to break through that "stuck" feeling that came from never feeling ready. Enjoy!
