But, like I said, there are many more composers that are considered ‘lesser figures’ of the Baroque era. Felice Anerio, Johann Friedrich Fasch, and Jean-Marie…

Although the preference for modern works points towards a post-tonal harmonic structure, the majority of quotations are of a more moderate nature, such as Stravinsky, Ravel and Debussy rather than the full-blown…

Because Terry was able to pick the pieces he played, he picked a range of different pieces to emphasize his wide range of talent.

I was a little unsure about the nature and form of this piece because…
