If you are here, you are most likely interested in music - perhaps in some area in which I too am interested and in which I have been active - as a composer, as a pianist or as both:
avant-garde instrumental music
the piano music of Charles Ives
the piano music of "Jelly Roll" Morton
The Education of Ebenezer Scrooge
This web site has been constructed
to provide information for those who have come across my work
in any of these areas and who might wish to know more about it.
There are numerous musical examples available - on Real Audio (low fidelity, one minute or less download time
) or as MP3 files (better fidelity and often
complete works, but needing considerably more time for downloading).
Some of these are "Historical Recordings" - recordings
which, though not of the highest sound quality, nevertheless serve
to document a musical period. Others are recordings from recent
performances and still others are taken from CD's which are available
commercially. The older examples have been incorporated into a
Musical Tour which briefly covers the chronological
development of my work over the past forty-five years. The commercially
available recordings can also be accessed from within this Tour or directly through the Recordings pages. More recent examples of my work as pianist
and as composer can be found in Recent Performances and Recent
Compositions while
a comprehensive index of what is contained on this site will be
found in the Table
of Contents.
