New piano composition composed 9/11/2013.  Tentative arrangement.

In a time when the world is too easily focused on the differences between different people and cultures and fear of the unknown, online communities such as SoundCloud are amazing places for people from all over the world to come together and celebrate life and the gift of music.

Places like this allow artists to sincerely and honestly share their talents in an uncompromised manner with whomever would listen. This is possible regardless of who the artist is, where they are from, what level of marketing savvy they posses, or what degree of support they have from the entrenched entertainment establishment that purports to dictate what is cool, trending, and marketable.  It allows sincerity to triumph and for real people to find other real people wherever they are.  It allows people to potentially expand their concept of friendship and family from the microcosm of the self to the macrocosm of the global village. It allows us all to focus on our shared commonalities and better believe in the innate goodness in all humans via uniting in our shared passion for the universal language of music.

Special thanks to Loredana whose smile and free spirit can light up a room even from 5,000 miles away.  Of all the amazing people in the world, the D-Flat Major women are some of the truly special ones:

The Skaters' Waltz Op.183(E.Waldteufel)

Piano

Crillon Compositions is a deeply personal orchestral suite, born from a journey that began with musical sketches and youthful piano doodles at age 19 at the famed Hôtel de Crillon , and culminating in a sweeping symphonic vision as the composer clebrated his 35th birthday at the Crillon. These newly revised and recorded works honor the enduring influence of French classical tradition—Debussy & Ravel—infused with the modern emotional landscapes of the grandeur of Rachmaninov. From brooding chamber pieces to cinematic overtures, the album embodies the conflict and beauty of legacy, identity, and time beneath the marbled hush of a Parisian palace.
