Soon we will have my biography and a list of representative recital and ensemble programs for you to peruse, all of which have been presented in recent years and months.
[Please note that I like to perform, and I’m not expensive!]
There will be a section on Rudiments of Music of interest to students and teachers.
We will always post information on performances by yours truly:
• In Albany, New York, and the greater Capital District
• At Conn Ranch, St. Helena, California, in our own outdoor Music Amphitheater (capacity over 100), where I have my 6-foot Chickering and the new 7-foot Hamburg Steinway. [Yes, for six months every May through October no rain falls—outdoors is OK!] and
• In Barbados in the wonderful Frank Collymore Hall (another Hamburg Steinway!) as we settle into our new condominium apartment there, December through February each year.
And there will always be information on the available CDs. So far:
(FC-01) All-Grieg: Sonata, Holberg Suite, selected Lyric Pieces
(FC-02) The Well-tempered Steinway—J.S. Bach: the 24 Preludes from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book I, the four Duets, eight of the two-part inventions, and the three-voice ricercar from the Musical Offering. All on a modern piano, tuned in an unequal temperament of the sort used by Bach
(FC-03) Three American Gs (Gottschalk, Gershwin, Gould)
(FC-04) Introduction to the 19th Century: Seven Pieces or Collections by Weber, Beethoven, and Schubert
