As a sightreader, I am always looking for new challenges, that is, to play new music I have not seen before. Before I entered the world of composers, I would search for published music of dead composers.
In my musical journey, I discover that the new music (of living composers) is just as interesting if not more. These days, if I come across music of a composer I like, whether it’s ensemble music or piano guitar duo, I’d ask if he or she had written anything for piano solo or piano duet. Similarly — vice versa.
Below is a catalogue of the piano solo works I have reviewed and introduced on Concertblog. I will continue to add to this list, arranged alphabetically by the composer’s last name.
- Abrams, Daniel: Chaconne on Dido’s Lament (video)
- Alkema, Henk: piano solo from duet ( sample score, photo)
- Carollo, John: Waltz (mp3, sample score, photo)
- Diehnelt, Kim: Impromptu (mp3, sample score)
- Ku, Anne: Full Moon on Maui (sample score)
- Ku, Anne: Toccata on an Elegie Theme (mp3, sample score)
- Peterson, Tom: Sonatina (video)
- Verleur, Heleen: Daniel’s Song (mp3, sample score, photo)
- Verleur, Heleen: Prelude and Fuga in D minor: mp3, sample scores
- Williams, Chris: Somewhere Between Reason and Light (video)

Daniel Abrams recent successful eye surgery is returning this once famous musician back to the concert stage. The mystical origin of his Ecstasy Thru Music program — that he is presenting with his former, and now again wife — came as the result of a rebirthing experience he had several years ago when they re-met. It’s a fascinating story! Please read his impressive bio and do what you can to get the word out. Thanks, Sonia
