very cool. now you said - 'my' etudes. do you mean you play them or you are simon? and if you are simon why are you 'sister' music? well, i think it's the former. you're a woman and you are playing simon's etudes? if you composed this - you are one really great composer, too. and, pianist. sounds really great!

or, you mean 'sister music' that's the type of music -right. ok. i get it.

I am Simon Hester and I'm playing my own preludes. Sistermusic is just a diminution of Simon Hester Music.
Thanks for listening.

hello Simon,

are you familiar with the Kapustin Preludes? They are also in jazz style, might give you inspiration for a "Book II" - lol
I like the balance you have between the different pieces. Do you have also compositions for other instruments, with(out) piano?
I think it's great that some people still take the effort of trying to make nice piano compositions with some contents! Keep on composing!

Grtz, Joost
