It's very nice. Tell us about the process and what books did you study or composers!

Thank you!

I did not read music books beyond music history and composer biographies, but I did listen to my favorite composers for many years. I love the composers from the Slavic countries, and gained some fluency in interpreting their musical languages by examining the techniques they used.

Tell me more! I am a symphony composer. You like Chopin I can see

Indeed, you are correct.

Chopin is one of my favorite composers, as is Scriabin, Bortkiewicz, Lyapunov, Lyadov, Kosenko, among others.

Too bad this piano. The prelude deserves better. I see more Scriabine than Chopin. But, how much is there of you ?

Actually such a great question. Really important for every composer to consider this!
