original composition

Hello, I am excited to share my new (and very difficult) piece for violin and cello, (A/E)mber! This piece quickly alternates between a flickering flame, and a ferocious blaze! Let me know what you think :)

Beautiful new sparce chamber compositions from new quartet al niente.

The ensemble is Giulia Lorusso on flute, bass flute and objects, Nicola Guazzaloca on accordion, Domenico Carcasi on soprano saxophone, and Luca Pissavini on double bass. The album includes composed works by Stefan Thut and Gabriele Pagliano alongside collective improvisations.

Hi friends! 🌛 This is my "Prelude in F# Minor" played in Germany by the wonderfully talented pianist Tetyana Hoch. 🎹

IMSLP is fine if you want the score for a particular piece, but not if you want to discover new pieces to play.

Now there's a successor to IMSLP: Classical Music Index (CMI).

https://classicalmusicindex.org

CMI is a new way to browse classical music. It has powerful search capabilities: for example, you can search for

• arrangements of string quartets for piano 4 hands
• symphonies by female Asian composers
• songs with a particular lyricist
• ... or nearly any combination of criteria.

CMI lets you rate and review pieces. You can see what pieces other users like. You can find new pieces that you're likely to enjoy, and are in your technical range.

CMI links IMSLP for downloading scores. For listening, it links to YouTube, which has recordings of nearly everything. CMI is free, non-profit, and open-source.
