Koji Attwood's Debut of Liadov Prelude Op.39

This work is so charming that, the first time i heard it, it immediately captured my ear. It also have certain chopin/scriabin quality in it.

enjoy

(Planning on learning a few myself.)

(Side-note, I met koji on the pianoforum, then we started talking and he sent me some really rare recording. As a way to pay him back I sent him the complete score of Liadov. As excited as he was, I had no clue about Liadov's composition, I just had them. But then he kept telling me how wonderful these pieces are. In a way me and Koji's friendship is based on Liadov's composition.)

Thank you very much! :D

If I didn't know better, I would say this was Chopin..

  The first one, in particular, I thought.  It sounds like a combo of Op. 25/1 and 2 to me (it was even suggested that I add on the final trill from the Op. 25/1 in the Liadov, haha).
