Szymanowski: Prelude in D Minor Op. 1 No. 2

This has been a difficult week: the car got a flat tyre, the skylight grew mould, the boiler broke down, and the cat got gangrene...
By this afternoon most of these problems were resolved, and thankfully the home started to feel warm again...
During a short break I improvised this piano solo which I think conveys my sense of relief.
This improvisation is a companion piece to Frost Bytes, sharing some of the same motives but in a major key and a new vibe.
The title sums up a feeling I guess we all experience from time to time - the need to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Though a cliche, this is apt. I hope you enjoy the music.

have been listening to Debussy a lot of late,here is my style of hopefully a feel of debussy,but in a ambient piano style

Midwinter Vererie

This is my  submission to the second part of 'The Piano Clouds' (TPC) - 'Ebony and Ivory' Challenge (initiated and hosted by https://soundcloud.com/simon-reich), which involves creating a piece using only the black keys on the piano (yikes! hehe). The first part of the Challenge involved creating a piece using only the white keys ('As the Garden Grows'). This 'black keys'  piece was originally a piano solo improvisation, but I wanted to learn more and add some more FX and instrumentation, so I'm not sure what it is! The piano is still dominant for the Challenge, whilst I tried to incorporate a more 'ambient' mood. I'm now looking forward to listening to all the submissions for the Challenge, as I've only had a chance to listen to a few! :-) 

If you'd like to listen and give some feedback, especially given this approach to music is still relatively new to me, its always much appreciated :-) xx



When The Night Falls - Megs McCarthy (Black Keys Challenge)

My memory is not as good as it once was,this track is my recollection of childhood days spent in the new Forest in Hampshire playing,with the sounds of old time radio floating through the trees.

My first piece composed for Piano Day 2020 had some string elements; I wanted to do one that was just the piano. The piano in this composition is the 1911 Bechstein piano from @arpquadra (Andrew Ward); lovely piano!

I improvised this piece few days after I returned from the Piano Cloud Live Event which took place in Milton Keynes, England.

Thanks Terry (aka Purple Rhapsody) for inspiring me to this song. I have listened to your CD the whole trip back and hence it inspired me a lot.
