Have you ever heard about the Danish composer Carl Nielsen?
He grew up on the countryside on the island of Funen and ended up being one of the greatest classical composers in the history of Denmark.
For the first time ever Carl Nielsen’s complete work for violin and piano will be recorded and put together on one disc.
Behind this project are the Danish violinist Hasse Borup and the American pianist Andrew Staupe. They have performed these pieces all over the US including the Embassy of Denmark here in Washington, DC.

How to Play Indian Sitar Raags on a Piano

FOR ADVENTUROUS PIANISTS
Hallo, I'd be grateful if you could share this with your students if appropriate - it is my brand new 258-page book of 24 Indian Sitar Raags completely reinvented for piano, plus a whole load of instruction and musical examples.
Here's some blurb: It is designed to be enjoyed by good amateur pianists through to virtuosic professionals. It is suitable for any pianist who enjoys discovering new music, or who has an interest in music from other cultures, or who knows the pleasure of jazz noodling and wants to explore a rewarding and fresh (but centuries-old) form of improvisation.
Indian raags have an extraordinary musical heritage dating back several centuries (from the area that is now India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) - a truly unique musical genre of fascinating melodic beauty and rhythmic intricacy – freely combining elaborate composed melodies with carefully rehearsed improvisation.
But now the amazing world of Indian raags has been opened up in this sympathetic but thorough reinvention for piano solo (or duet or two pianos).
