Ghosts from the past, part 2 c1970-1972
on: September 28, 2005, 08:08:19 AM
In my early twenties I wrote many dozens of romantic pieces. I have never abandoned my love of brazen tonal romanticism. Listening to these old recordings now I can detect immoderate Liszt influence and there always seems to be a part where the lightning strikes the lavatory. Nonetheless, they were sincerely expressed and I am not embarrassed by them or the reckless way I played. I had long stopped my brief formal tuition and wrote and played at night after working on the waterfront and in offices, saving money for a grand.
