Miniatures and Collectibles

About the album

Miniatures and Collectibles, is a collection of 21 little pieces written by some of history’s greatest composers, reimagined and brought to life.

The journey began when I started playing piano accompaniment for a children’s Eurythmy class at the Waldorf school several years ago. In my search for music to include in the program, I discovered many little gems, old pieces that reminded me that music is alive and needn’t be long or complicated to express great feeling or ideas. Some of the pieces in this collection will be well known to student pianists as early repertoire. Others have been largely forgotten by history. I was inspired to bring these pieces to life and give my own artistic expression to them. This is how the album was born.

Please enjoy full length samples from the album in the Store.
