A WINTER ALBUM is online
A WINTER ALBUM of small pieces for piano is now online here. It includes works by Dennis Báthory-Kitsz, Jon Brenner, Steed Cowart, Elaine Fine, Hauke Harder, Ben.Harper, Jeff Harrington, Aaron Hynds, Lloyd Rodgers, Jonathan Segel, and Charles Shere. A few more pieces have been promised and -- thanks to the magic of the internet -- may well still appear in the album.

And it is magic. Thanks for helping to make a feeling of musical community in the dead of winter (and it is cold, windy, and snowing out here in Illinois). I love the textural concept of your parlor piece with mittens, Daniel.
Rodgers' piece reminds me very strongly of the unmeasured preludes of Louis Couperin (written in pretty similar notation) ... perhaps one could ask if he knows them already.
Actually I would also like to ask him what the first word is - 'quietly'? And the first RH chor of the second line - B-F#?
And whether one could play it on harpsichord by holding down enough keys...
to thomas d. yes the word is "quietly", i might have been a little in a hurry and maybe a little tired when I scrawled it, the chord is B-F# and yes I am aware of the unmeasured prelude tradition and the obvious connections. it would be lovely on a harpsichord.
Lloyd Rodgers
Thanks - I think there are very few random coincidences in music.
The score isn't really unclear when you think about what could reasonably have been meant, but I wanted to check.
