Hello,
I really admire your playing and music. It is truly awesome how you are so very talented expressing yourself in a variety of genres. Are you familiar with Mikhail Pletnev and Marc-Andre Hamelin? If so what do you think? I have never heard the music of Alkan and Nikolay Roslavets until I picked up some Hamelin Cd's (out of this world!!). Do you like the works of those composers?
I watched a video clip of you doing some wild cross-overs (hand) arpeggios that is truly sick (cool). You might be interested to check out Keith Jarrett Tokyo Solo DVD, as he is playing these other-worldly abstract improvisations walking, jumping, and sliding that cross-over technique up and down the keys so magnificently. However, it is the music that is so frightening on that CD-DVD.
As I watched you play those multi-octave arpeggio skips I thought it would be cool to set up a filter and delay effect via foot pedal so you could control the filter opening and closing with your foot (obviously) as you played.
Take care.

Hello, Do you like Dmitri Shostakovich's 24 Preludes and Fugues Op, 87 for piano? I was lucky enough to come by the sheet music at the library the other day. My favorite works right now are his Symphonien No. 1,6,9, & 11 "1905". Actually, I am completely engulfed in the musical world of Shostakovich. I also love Ravel's Gaspard De La Nuit, and Arnold Schoenberg's Piano Concerto along with Berg and Webern. Would you say that your playing gravitates from List and Chopin's music primarily? Take care.
