Also many works for chamber ensembles and solo piano, and approximately 200 lieder. For a complete list of my works, please consult my Myspace Music page.Books

About me:
"Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind."My music epitomizes late 19th century German classicism -- and flows from the very mouth of GOD. "Straight-away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind's eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration." Harumph! ..
Who I'd like to meet:
Hm...does Clara Schumann have a little sister?No?
Well, I'll tell you who I don't want to meet: "Those who enjoy their own emotionally bad health and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion, jealousy and hatred," for "as a rule [they] take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise, and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them."
“If there is anyone here whom I have not insulted, I beg his pardon.”
