Musical compositions

I occasionally write works for piano or violin (many of them still existing as drafts). Favourite style: Late Romantic, influenced by Scriabin, Glazounov, Rachmaninov, and Alkan.

Written but not yet transcribed:

  • Opus 1: 3 preludes for left hand solo
  • Opus 9: Concert paraphrase of Alexander Alyabyev’s ‘Nightingale’ for violin and piano.
  • Opus 10: Transcription of Anton Arensky’s ‘Variations on a theme by Tchaikovsky’ for piano solo.
  • Opus ??: Nuptial polka on the AESh theme
  • Opus ??: 3 fantasies on Chopin’s waltzes
    • Cadenza to Chopin’s Op.64 No.2 (December 2019)
