Hello Yem, There are nowadays plenty of good tutorials on the social networks, including YouTube. You might begin with any of those. And yes,...
And now the rest of the suite. Regards to all,
Dear All, Hope these pieces can bring back some life (and joy) to this quite desertified site ! In this suite of 8 short pieces, we find the...
Hello Andrew, Thanks for your careful listening and penetrating appraisal. Definitely there are quite tricky measures in the 2nd and 4th movements...
Dear All, Please find attached a recording of the first item within the series of the last great Beethoven's sonatas (with op. numbers greater...
Dear Vladimir, Many thanks for your very deep and analytical listening ! - for the No. 1, yes I agree that some of my chords sound a little "hard"...
Thank you very much Andrew. I failed to convert Chris Breemer to Couperin (Chris never forgot to tell me how insensitive it was to this music in...
Hi Vladimir, Yes, rubato has always existed, but the question is to which extent, at which location etc. A matter of taste, first ! Do you intend...

Dear All, Please find attached the four Brahms' ballads op. 10, that I recorded last June/July. I always loved these pieces, and thought I had to...
Hello captenaj, I think the "etc." mention (et caetera in latin) means "and so on...". In this context, it means that the exercise is first...
Many thanks Andrew! Indeed it was a lot of work. Now I realize some of my Etudes are really too much lacking precision. I will have to re-record...
Dear All, This is the last piece of my integral ! Probably the one which required most efforts for me. As usual I am not totally satisfied with my...
This is a very special little suite written by Erik Satie just before Worldwide War I. The music is apparently parodic - we hear purposely...
Thanks Andrew! Yes, we are not used to play fast, light and equal, with a large range of dynamics, crossing the hands and omitting the thumbs! But...
