I thought posting this here might help bring this work to a few more peoples' attention. If you don't like my performance there are two or three others on YouTube, including one by the composer (in chunks).

This pieces sounds as if it was written post 1920's -I don't think the themes come anywhere close to those of the quality of Stravinsky or Prokofiev -for example -but nevertheless there is much to admire here -

The piano is beautiful -it even appears to a have a weird face!

Ha ha! Hadn't noticed the piano 'face' but I see what you mean.

The Passacaglia was written in 1961/2.
