I've played classical piano pieces during two periods; in my early 20's and late 30's.

These pieces were challenging exercises in discipline and technique, in addition to being beautiful music! Since I barely sight-read music, each piece had to be memorized, measure by measure.

These recordings were made in 1997, in my teeny basement studio using a Steinway model B piano (7 foot), an ADAT recorder, and AT-4033 mics. They are from practice sessions recorded and forgotten, until unearthing the old tapes in 2010.

In addition to these pieces, I also played parts of three other Beethoven piano sonatas, two more Chopin etudes, and another Bach prelude. None of those were recorded.
