These piano numbers don’t fit into any particular category, so don’t be looking for some sort of continuity here. Just download a couple of these and try them out. There are some challenges ahead, but hopefully worth your effort.

* This little suite of piano solos was written in the Winter of 1966 when I was 19 years old and just beginning to understand how counterpoint worked. The models are all Baroque in style and the forms are not well-developed, but it was at least a beginning of real comprehension in my self-taught quest to learn about musical composition.
