Piano Sonata One – the Mexican Sonata
1st movment here
2nd finished – but waiting its turn
3rd in concept form (much to think about)

Dedicated to Ralph who passed away last year during the RPM month of February,, The slower middle section in this piece –first appeared in that RPM as Prelude in C#minor, a small 65 second piece that i wrote on hearing the news of his passing, and something i knew i would one day revisit.

I have tried to push myself both in playing and composing

all comments/thoughts/suggestions welcome

I have been looking for good piano pieces, and this is very well done, may i ask if you would be willing to do a collaboration?

Really lovely. I feel like the musical equivalent of a caveman with a tuned stick when I hear real musicians like you perform!

As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments: This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.
