Improvisations recorded and improvised with a grand piano.  These piano improvisations are usually recorded with a Yamaha Grand piano, and occasionally with other instruments, such as a Steinway or K. Kawai.

My piano improvisations range in style from classical to early 20th century, to more contemporary harmonic styles.

In developing my improvisations I usually begin by creating a short intro section of music which captures my interest and I wish to develop further. This usually becomes the basis for the improvisation but I use different techniques to develop my improvisations.

Some of my classical piano influences include Chopin, Ravel, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Bach, and others.

2014-12-13 no. 3 Cloudy Forest

Many differences will be observed here and are derived from the autograph, where many ties, dynamic indications, and even notes are suspect.  I do believe I made an error in that the ties in measures 100 and 102 (in the C major cadence which follows the A-flat major one before the return of the dance 2-note 'dance' motive) should still be present, however I repeated the downbeat notes in the recording and may wind up trying to correct it later. This is my first release in a long while; I hope everyone enjoys it.  Recorded the evening of December 9th, 2014.  The artwork is "Undine", by Arthur Rackham, 1811.
