24 Preludes Complete!
on: January 29, 2007, 04:50:57 PM
Apologies to those who kindly went to the link for my 24 preludes and found only 20!

I have now amended this. Please find the complete performances at https://www.sistermusic.org/Mp3/wimpy.php

The duo I play in may also be of interest at https://www.sistermusic.org/.laurihester/.

many thanks for the interest and comments so far

Hi sistermusic,
I just heard all of your preludes. Wow! Amazing! They are enjoyable intellectually and emotionally. Extremely creative and very well played. Schoenberg talks about the need for music to be coherent, comprehensible, and convincing. From my perspective, you have everything. I will be back to listen again and again.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks for your time in listening to my work. The comments are helpful and encouraging.
For me structure, beauty and form are so important in writing music and if all these come together to create something with a touch of originality and communication then that's wonderful.

I will try to keep people informed as to the availability of the scores: there's a possiblility of publication; at the very least by myself.
all good wishes

Hi Simon,
Wish I could advise you on publishing but all I have is a pile of rejection slips and a contract with a digital publisher that's worthless. You can sell directly to piano teachers through workshops. Get a listing from the national organization and send your flyers to out to local chapters. Their program chairman presents your materials to the group and they hire (invite?)you to do a workshop. You'll sell very well at these events, but the downside is that it consumes a lot of time and energy that could better be spent writing more music.
You have a very attractive product. Your music is interesting and beautiful and you should be able to find a classical publisher but it may take a little time. The most important thing is for you to keep producing more works.

Out of interest here's the Orchestral version of the Emajor Prelude along with its Piano version.

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

“He has everything and more – tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” as Martha Argerich once said of Daniil Trifonov. To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31. Piano Street’s members are invited to watch the livestream. Read more
