Horloge, a calm, melancholic and floating piano piece, is the first single of my upcoming EP "Taumorgen". Close your eyes and you'll see a french market place, smell the coffee and warmth of summer.

Sergei Rachmaninoff: Prelude in C Sharp Minor, Op. 3 No. 2. 

Played by me with my Korg SGProX digital stage piano controlling Yamaha Montage 8. The piano preset: Yamaha Montage CFX Stage. It sounds even better than my 2005 Motif ES synthesizer's piano sound which was already quite impressive. 

Played substantially slower than many pro players and e.g. the honourable Mr. Rachmaninoff himself on one recording (it may be also that I prefer this piece to be played a little slower than it is usually played). I got some speed however somewhere in the middle part.. I played it a lot faster however when I was young and didn't have to think about tomorrow. Because that's what this Prelude is about (much like the Scriabine etude Op. 8 No. 12): you really have to play it like there would be no tomorrow, so to speak, meaning, among other things, that you cannot think about some "secondary" things like hand injuries..

I learned this prelude initially in the 1990's at the time when also the piano movie "Shine" was released (the movie definitely was an inspiration). I practiced it countless hours with my Korg M1 synthesizer which was indeed not the best machine for this kind of piano music.  This was one of the first classical piano pieces I ever learned and, since I have learned it by myself without receiving any formal piano training whatsoever, this warrants the following conclusion: Anything is possible, remember that!

Sergei Rachmaninoff: Prelude in C Sharp Minor Op. 3 No. 2

A Dream I Had

“Graceful Ascent” is a musical journey that unfolds with deliberate steps, like a dignified procession. The intertwining melodies of the piano and cello evoke a sense of nobility as if ascending a grand staircase toward hope and inspiration. 

The piano, with its deliberate chords, represents resilience—the unwavering spirit that propels us forward. Meanwhile, the cello weaves intricate harmonies, infusing the composition with depth and emotion. Together, they create a tapestry of dignified hope, urging listeners to persevere even in the face of adversity.

ADVICE: MUSIC — ESPECIALLY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC — SHOULD BE LISTENED TO THROUGH SPEAKERS WITH A GOOD BALANCE OF BASS AND TREBLE. IF YOU LISTEN TO THESE PIECES ON A CELLPHONE, YOU’LL LOSE AT LEAST 40% OF THEIR QUALITY.

Unsettling Whispers portrays the arrival of Loufric Vertere and Luci at the imposing black castle, where they are welcomed with banquets and sweet words. At first glance, everything seems grand and inviting, yet something feels wrong in the air. Whispers move through the corridors, and behind the flattery, a silent intrigue begins to take shape.

While Luci senses echoes of dangers she once faced, manipulation, enchantment, the slow poisoning of the will, Vertere begins to yield to promises of power and revenge, spoken softly into his ear. The castle, steeped in tales of betrayal, becomes a stage where ambition, memory, and seduction intertwine. The whispers grow louder, and each note reveals more of the inevitable fall of a man who has already lost everything, and now may lose himself.

This set of SWWs was written in memory of a wonderful singer, teacher and friend, Diana Walkley. Here, significant reference is made to Elgar's Music Makers - a score of great insight, I now understand, into a lonely composer: a true 'dreamer of dreams'
