Sort of an “all-round pianist”. I specialized in popular music and jazz in my education, but have focused mostly on classical in later years. I do some occasional arranging and composing.

Re: Springtime Recital
@Gail Starr Thanks, Gail! Yes, nice to play some Beethoven together! We had a great time with snowboard and skiing today :) Back is a little better then a month ago, but still far from good…

Re: Springtime Recital
I can't play live today, so just did a video for the concert. It's the 3rd movement from Beethoven Pathetique sonata. Happy Easter everyone!

@Sid Bravo, Sid! I love these dissonant chords and rhythmic motives, with also some beautiful chord changes, put together in a very stylish form. Very well done! Great playing by the pianist too.

Re: Music YOU composed Watch Party!
@Thurmond R Well done on the composition! It felt sacral and very fitting for deep reflection. I'm sure it's well appreciated in Lent, and I wouldn't be surprised if it spreads to more churches.

@Juan Carlos Olite Bravo, Juan Carlos! And you certainly make a great case for that motto! That cantabile touch will do wonders for all our playing.
