This rendition of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st movement may stretch the limits of classical piano purists' tolerance as it contains parts not intended by Beethoven -- the ethereal voices and strings are my addition. As a concession to those who might be offended, I placed this version in the Easy Listening genre where there's more leeway for such efforts. Just close your eyes, relax, and imagine the phantom choir accompanying the pianist as pale blue moonlight streams in from high windows, casting ghostly shadows which shimmer and sway with the music. |

Fast-paced electronic. Crank it up and let the beat get into your bones and take control of your limbic system. You can try not to move or smile, but it will start with a toe twitch, progress to a head bob, and before the end you'll be tappin'and bobbin' and grinnin' from ear to ear. |

One of Beethoven's many "little sonatas" for piano. This wonderful piece in G Major was also my first recital piece as a young student. It's light and lively and reminds me of a warm summer morning in the garden with the birds singing in the trees and the butterflies flitting from flower to flower. |

For the first 20 seconds imagine that you're flying low over the ocean approaching a floating missile platform. Then as you near the platform and your helicopter breaks into a wide sweeping turn around the platform, the rocket motors of the missile on deck begin to fire and at 30 seconds into the song you watch as the missile surges upwards on its pedestal of flame.Remastered 5/4/00. |
