First held in 1962, the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition has established itself as a joyous festival dedicated to the discovery and celebration of the world's finest young pianists. 
Nobuyuki Tsujii (born September 13, 1988) is an amazing Japanese pianist, born blind but gifted with a talent for music. 
John Giordano who was jury chairman for the Cliburn competition, said, "“He’s amazing. We closed our eyes and it’s so phenomenal that it’s hard to withhold your tears. Nobu played the most difficult hour-long Beethoven piece (Hammerklavier, Sonata no. 29) flawlessly. For anyone, it’s extraordinary. But for someone blind who learns by ear, it’s mind-boggling.”

Chopin: Études, Op. 10: Étude No. 2 in A Minor

Toccata And Fugue In D Minor, BWV 565 - J.S. Bach

Nightfall in the Valley...a story about a peaceful small village in the mountains where moonlight creates a mystical scene after nightfall.
I was inspired by a certain chord progression that gave rise to the development of the rest of this track...and as usually, for me,  there was no roadmap how the idea would be worked out. It's always quite a surprise how things will went out during creation of some new music. 😊
