I like no. 2 and 3. Are they also playable by human players? ;D

I play them, (not as fast are accurate) but have no access to recording equipment.
Here are some more, a Polonaise, "Impish Dance", "Romance", and "Magician".

I like Magician, but I must say it sounds familiar, I think it's Poulenc's Toccata I'm hearing a snippet of. No matter, these pieces are very good, well composed and structured. I will listen to them again later.

I have dial-up so I'm limited in what I can listen to in one fell swoop.

So far I downloaded, Journey's End, Sleight of Hand, and Romance.

These are all great!  Very nice. 

I'm hoping to compose some pieces myself.   I'm actually working on one now, but I'm just starting out with this so it takes me quite a while to compose even a small piece.  Plus I haven't been feeling real creative lately so I'm struggling with it.  But that will pass, I'm sure.  :)

Thank you for sharing your music. I too found Magician to be appealing but I do generally prefer modern chords and rhythms to old-fashioned ones, so that's hardly surprising. I am interested to hear how you sound in slower pieces. Well done though.

Greetings. This is my first post in the forum.

You are fantastic. I love it.
What piano is that? Is that a digital one?
You rock, I really loved it.

Hello!
Thanks for the nice comments. I'll post some more ones soon. I played them on a fairly new Yamaha with Garageband software.
