Ahh, I should have realized!
Monica, I listened to your recording of this when I was submitting mine - I noticed that we choose almost exactly the same starting tempo:)...
Thank you for your comments Andreas. Regarding my "abrupt end phrasing of the main-theme," do you mean the ends of each of the two original...
Thank you for the compliments Techneut! Indeed, one of the big challenges of the outer movements is staying focused on the dynamics and...
Hello All, It's good to see that a lot of familiar names are still posting on these boards. It's been quite a while since I posted anything new...

Hello Everyone, Just a couple more tracks to go and my Christmas CD will be complete. I know this prelude is overdone, and we already have 8...
Thank you very much Wiser Guy! It's interesting that you liken them to a "film atmosphere" because it was the Gnossienne No. 1 as featured in...
On the more introspective side, I just recorded these three pieces of Satie & Bach/Busoni. When I was a teenager obsessed with virtuosic stuff, I...
OK! I got ‘em! I’m quite pleased with how these turned out after all the time I’ve spent on them. I still haven’t absolutely conquered the...
Thank you Jennifer - I missed your comment when you made it. I've re-recorded Liebestraume and I'm finally satisfied with it. Please see my...
Hey Monica, I think specifically of gondolas when I hear the word barcarolle also, and I think I've heard that a barcarolle is specifically a...
