Independent Music

As always, this style of Classical music is generally for the occasional or ordinary music listener, for the curious, for those who just need a change from other musical genres, and for the serious musician.

All of it is the end result of physically sifting through an ever-growing personal library of sheet music, writing out new arrangements, and playing and/or sequencing the end result.

This is CD Album, Volume IV (1-hour, 16-minutes).

Folks: A million apologies for not finishing this album sooner in the year. But, now it is finished...finally!

Selections include the last known Ballad composed by Chopin (there were four), the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 by Bach, several familiar favorites: Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and "Fur Elise" (with a twist), and a somewhat reconfigured version (in "Largo" on steroids) of Chopin's "Prelude No. 9" (Opus 28). Some more of Czerny's work is included as a medley of four of his "Art of Finger Dexterity" works. I have included another Tchaikovsky piece from the "flip side" of the NutCracker Suite. However, this particular piece appears to be a "Russian Thing".

Last but not least, the Etude No. 1 (Opus 53) by Ernst Haberbier is included near the beginning (version 1 - Track 3) and again at the end (version 2 - Track 11) of the CD. Finding the sheet music to this piece was very difficult here in the States and elsewhere on this side of the world. Many Thanks, to Regina for personally making and sending me a copy of the (apparently) rare sheet music from her music company in Austria. This piece is danceable, after the first big ending at the beginning of the second version (Track #11). The first version varies back and forth from 7/8, 8/8, 9/8, to 10/8 time. This may or may not be danceable!

Hope you enjoy listening to these various selections as much as I have enjoyed putting together this fourth CD album.

Thanks Again,
