Re: June Recital!
@Alexander Weymann I do hope so! I’m looking forward to hear your Dutilleux! I heard a “cello concerto” by him a few months ago, Tout un monde lointain, and that’s all I know of him so far!

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.
