Little Fugue stands out as one of the most challenging in the set. This piece, with its intricate counterpoint and layered voices, demands both technical skill and deep musical understanding, making it best suited for the very advanced young pianist.

Erik Satie: Gnossienne No. 1

Dirk Maassen composes wonderful short piano pieces inspired by contemporary composers such as Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi. 

I took on his invitation to record any of his piano pieces, and told him I would record 'Addio'... just to find out that there was no score! ... So after working directly with him the score was created and here is my take on it.

Reflections

Dirk Maassen: Addio

Debussy composed this valse when he was twenty-eight years old. Impressive.

The score is available here:
