	in 1992 Alan Fraser while was back home in Montreal visiting friends and family, he gave an informal performance at the Yellow Door Coffee House, where he had passed many a happy evening listening to folk music during his studet days. This recital includes: 3 Scarlatti Sonatas, Mozart Sonata in G major K. 281, 3 Rachmaninoff Preludes: the exquisite E flat major, the monumental B minor and the passionate, dramatic C minor. The last selection in this sound file is the intimate Nocturne in F major of Chopin.

	Story Behind the Song The Yellow Door has a beat-up old Heintzman upright piano that is a far cry from a good Steinway concert grand. And yet the piano speaks with poetry and intimacy. This is a performance free from the presures of the big stage - unburdened and thus communicative in a special way. And perhaps the piano sound is closer to the instruments these works were composed on than our modern instruments!
