Although I have always been too shy to do so in public, I've always enjoyed playing the piano. My grandmother, a violinist from the Boston Conservatory, started to teach me piano when I was 8 years old. But after a few years when I started to play Boogie Woogie and stuff she left in disgust never to return for another lesson. In early 2011 I noticed that my hands were getting ever worse with arthritis so I thought it was about time I preserved a few of my favorite pieces. The Riffs and Variations on a Theme are my creations, Moonlight Sonata is Beethoven's of course and the Preludes are Chopin's. The Well Tempered Clavier, Vol I No 1 is Bach and is also known as his Ave Maria but is so different from Schubert's variation that you really can't sing to it. And finally Photo Jaunie is one of the most beautiful creations by the Canadian Composer André Gagnon (I'm sorry André that I cannot do it justice but perhaps people who gear it will look you up and buy your albums!). I hope you enjoy hearing these as much as I have enjoyed playing them.
