**Lyrics:
"The blood that Jesus shed for me
Way back on Calvary
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It soothes my doubts and calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power"

I'm a (former) cellist, soprano recorder-, piano-, etc. -player. The violoncello has inspired me since early childhood. 

1977: Several years soprano recorder solo lessons, private teacher.
1981: Some years private cello lessons with her husband, cellist of Alte Oper Frankfurt/Main.
1985-1991 Cello lessons at the conservatory of Akademie fuer Tonkunst Darmstadt, music theory, ear training courses, 2 years piano lessons ibid. 1st and solo cellist in school orchestra, family chamber music and other occasions, bass in school choir, cornet in my father's car, etc. ... 

I particularly like to think back to the first student exchange between Hungary and Germany in 1989, after the borders were opened, in which I took part twice with the school orchestra of my high school in Szeged in southern Hungary shortly before my ‘Abitur’. Later, I travelled there again privately with my cello.

I grew up in Southern Hesse and began composing in Darmstadt, just before my father was diagnosed with an orange-sized glioblastoma, shortly before Christmas in 1989. 

His passing at the age of 48, nine months later, came at a time when I was preparing for my Abitur in Music and Biology. For finger tendons health reasons, I had to consider music as a hobby after school instead of starting a professional career as a cellist after Gymnasium. Since 1993, I have lent my piano to a family for life, so to speak, with whom I have no contact today. 

After school and then 15 months of diaconal inpatient geriatric care as an alternative to military service, I briefly studied at the tax office authority, but left it soon to pursue a career as a music retailer, specialized in classical and Orff etc. instruments, sheet music, and sound carriers. After IHK and practical examination in Bonn, I managed a ‘one-man’ music store branch for four years. Then I transitioned into the book trade.

Married since 2003 and nowadays living in Baden Wuerttemberg, I'm currently on disability retirement after a shoulder surgery 2014.

But music still lives in me, and I love to compose. You will hear Noteperformer 4 or other software-plugins within Dorico Pro 5 instead of recordings. I use Dorico since September 2023. Prior to this, I used the German Capella program for many years, then also MuseScore for a few months, and, traditional, paper and pencil. 

All of my compositions are available as PDF file sheet music, unless stated otherwise in the description, for noncommercial use upon receiving a personal and confidential request. 

I feel blessed through music, that's why I share it for free. 

The cello works I love the most are the concert pieces for cello and orchestra by Max Bruch, especially Kol Nidrei, which I was taught at the conservatory, and I love the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, who took lessons also with Max Bruch. And, of course, I like many more composers and genres/styles as long as they touch my musician's heart...

All photos on my profile and tracks were taken by me.

My warmest thanks to everyone stopping by for listening to my  'REVIEW   OF THE PAST TIME PIANISTS' INTERPRETATIONS ON THE HISTORICAL PIANO ROLLS, and also to a small LIST of MY MODEST OWN RENDITIONS, all of the latter representing a variety of piano music & some pipe-organ classics, - and  TO THE Growing LISTS OF (just lately done and reproduced)  TRANSCRIPTIONS OF VARIOUS CHAMBER MUSIC CLASSICAL PEARLS FOR TWO PIANOS.
A HEADSET IS RECOMMENDED for optimal sound experience!
This kind of 'touching' on these old pre-sound-rec. era works by the great performers of the past, and giving my sound to these old 'punch rolls',  makes me feel  deep humbleness, .and I wish that this modest attempt to bring these  performances alive will satisfy you listening to them!
To introduce myself...
I am a Finnish M.D., PhD. and Hand Surgeon (now retired), previously when young with 10 years of professionally orientated piano studies at Turku Conservatory in 1965-1975, partly  along with medical University studies. 
The digital sound techniques have become very familiar to me already from 1980's along with my university research work  
and my musical activities.
As continuation to my musical and professional experience, I have, during the last few years of my retirement, adopted a music historical challenge
to bring the past time major and minor pianists, prior to sound-recording era, onto the same 'start line' with the present pianists, by making their presentations, played onto 'punch rolls' i.e. piano rolls, audible with modern digital techniques. This wouldn't be possible without the pioneering  efforts of Richard Stibbons, Wayne Stahnke, Terry Smythe, Warren Trachtman, Spencer Chase, and others, who developed the optical digitizing techniques of the piano rolls, and digitized them.

The main part of my recordings here in SC consists of selection recorded by me from optically digitized piano-rolls** (from 1910's on or earlier, classical and 'vintage era'). These recordings of mine are not and will not be commercially unavailable. - The rolls were first optically scanned and converted into a digital form by diverse operators** (see also to the info of each piece). The pieces here were partly (minor part) picked from various open net sources, publicly available, but mainly from the huge archive (n=ca.5000) of digitized copies copies of the original reproducing piano rolls, made available to me by one of the pioneers of roll digitizing tehchniques (willing to keep anonymous), and then recorded from this archive mainly with virtual grand piano (called by me 'Bluethner Model One') modified/re-designed by me, as well as the rec settings. 
Also a minor selection of my own renditions among my records can be found here, included on my playlist 'Bach Goes Virtual', the name of the list telling something about the techniques used for getting the end result... The list includes various organ works by J.S.Bach and others, and also a few piano renditions of mine. Then there are included also various pieces which have been in my repertoire, but here played mainly by the  'guest' great players of the past (before the sound recording era).
MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO THE NOBLE DONOR  OF THIS INVALUABLE PIANO ROLL MATERIAL FOR MY USE!!!
My Sincere Thanks also to The Player Piano Group, UK, for providing me their permission to use the information about the piano rolls collected and provided on their web page ( https://rolls.playerpianogroup.org.uk ),  and for simplifying my short historical presentations of these renditions on their re-publication here!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO EVERYONE  OF YOU FOR LISTENING, AND FOR YOUR 'LIKES' & COMMENTS !
YOUR LISTENING & FEEDBACK IS TRULY APPRECIATED..!!.
Use of good headphones or speakers will make your music experience more enjoyable!
Best wishes, all the best
