I have been interested in classical music ever since i can remember. I began playing piano at the age of nine and took classical piano instruction for about ten years.
That was a long time ago. I had never experienced the desire to create my own music, but recently this has changed. I have just completed three pieces from my upcoming second series of work entitled, "Ways to say goodbye". These pieces are piano ballads following a variation theme, where each variation has the characteristics of a new movement. I have just started a "regular" job, and my hope is to have more time for composing in the near future... (10/2000)
In the last month i notice that i am lacking background knowledge to realize the compositions i have in mind. So i decided to prepare an entrance examination for the university of music. Thus, i concentrated on improving my piano playing skills to a level that satisfies the requirenments of the university. I invite you to join me on this jorney through the classical ages of music and will upload some mp3 files of my performances within the next weeks... (04/2001)
Up to now, I have completed L.v. Beethoven's piano sonata Op.28 in D major called "Pastoral" and J.S. Bach's Italian Concerto BWV 971 (on harpsi chord!). I am also working on J. Brahms' Rhapsody Op.79 Nr.1. Once this files is complete, I will upload it too...
