We’ll build it again

The great success of my "Valses melancoliques" (including the award-winning No. VIII - le desir eternel) encouraged me to continue this musical idea of melancholic valses, resulting in 12 new valses from C minor to B minor, created in a 14 day "composing rush" in April 2013 :-)

Pianist Carlos Marquéz (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital), whom many of you know for his outstanding piano recordings, was so kind to play some of the "Swans". 
Enjoy his breathtaking performance of this piece!

Carlos played all 10 Valses melancoliques Series I, which you can find on iTunes and many other platforms. Truly can recommend this!

All 12 "Swans" will also be published as an album towards the end of 2013, performed by pianist Danaë Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse).
Here is a "Preview" of the first 6 valses:

Reflections

Dirk Maassen: Fragile

Classically trained pianist. I enjoy playing not only the traditional repertoire but also pieces from unusual composers.
