Here you will find some musings on the nature of piano technique and how to acquire it, a clear connection with martial arts; a list of original compositions, most not involving a piano; an essay on mathematical patterns in musical compostion, an essay on music as language, a brief bio and a complete list of the works of Anton von Webern, a brief bio and rather incomplete list of the compositions of Stefan Wolpe, a brief bio and a list of the compositions of Raoul Pleskow, and some links to music resources.

I'd like to thank Michael Somos and Anne Whitefield for proofing some of the longer html files here, Kyle Gann for attribution of the Nietzche quote above. All remaining errors are, of course, my fault. I'd also like to thank Alan Bellamente for aid in compiling the list of Webern's compositions, and much proof reading.

	How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
	Here will we sit, and let the sound of music
	Creep in our ears; soft stillness and the night
	Become the touches of sweet harmony.

		-- Shakespeare
		   (Merchant of Venice, Lorenzo, Act 5, scene 1)
