One of my compositions. this time for Piano and Flute.  A dream of searching and longing, and perhaps finding.
Una composicion mia para piano y flauta.  Es un sueño de busqueda y anhelo, y posiblemente de encuentramiento.

Nocturn In C# Minor

Many of today's critics tell me that there's no place today for music that echoes times past, but I'm not writing it for them.  I write to entertain myself, and I write what speaks to me, and hope that a few others will enjoy listening along the way.  For me, writing music is a release, an outlet for my sentiments and emotions that don't find other avenues of escape.  
Music is and always was, entertainment for the masses, not just the classical elite, and somewhere among those masses, are people who just like a good tune, me for one.
A little about my background.

When I was 7, I started to take piano lessons from a little old lady who lived across the street. I continued going there until I was about 13 I think. I reached the dizzying heights of grade 3 royal school of music exams. I hated taking the exams and after the 3rd I stopped going in for them but continued the lessons.

I have no further qualifications or studies, what you see (hear) here is the result of a life long love of classical music and lots of hours self teaching.

My piano teacher once told me that I have an exceptional ear. I don't know if that's the case but I've tried to develop it over the years and make as much use of that ear as I can, (the other ear too) 😂
I hope you like what you hear and thank you very much for passing a few minutes listening to my music.

Kind regards
Mark
