The compositions from opus one, are actually bits and pieces from childhood; tunes I made from 8 to 13, somewhat evolved. Puberty had gotten me interested in other things, leaving the piano untouched for a while, but at age 18, my mother, who had given me the piano, had kept on trying to motivate me to start playing again. So I did.  At age 19, when my mother died (age 44), I was compelled to make themes from childhood into two pieces, that I would play (and have played) at her funeral. All contain themes I knew she'd appreciate, staring down at us.

Images from Childhood: Jeannette (Op.1 No.1)

An autodidact who made some 73 pianoworks (including 4 finished sonatas). Had to give up on recording for a while, because it was an impossible job really with the setup.
