Goodbye Trevor   36KB       (tune only) - needs time to fathom out the chords

Strangers Again    48KB       (tune only) - take your time over this one

Doreen's Party Piece   159KB            (tune only) - a slow waltz

I should have known    56KB           (tune only) - 3/4 and 4/4 sections to keep you awake

Reflections    43KB        (tune only) - 5/4 but relatively easy to play

Hangover Street    61KB        (tune only) - bluesy feel

Fireball       55KB          (tune only) - I found this difficult to play, but I'm a lousy pianist

Feta Crumbly       42KB          (tune only) - needs time to work out the notes

Interlude       48KB          (tune only) - This is not much of a tune but it is a good work out for the left-hand, forcing you to use fingers you forgot you had.     This is what it sounds like on strings and woodwind   

Fudge   49KB          (tune only) - easy to play. There is no separate solo piano soundbite as the piano part closely resembles the band arrangement.

Refugee       72KB          (tune only) - Not a jazz piece, but good practice for the right hand. Can be played along with the recording or by a synth for backing with solo piano/synth, accordian or bass clarinet or cello or some sort of folk instrument.

The Dawning       45KB          (tune only) - A slow quiet number which is unexpectedly hard to play (I found).

Sofa, So Good       130KB    FREE      This is Version 2 of Sofa, So Good, for a trio.
(See "The Origin of Pieces" on Tutorial page.) It doesn't really work as a solo piano number.

La fille qui aime á dancer    81KB           (tune only) - A little French waltz - string version with video coming soon!

Kadriya   (Кадия)    111KB          - A jazz/classical solo piano version of this tune. You can play your own solo on it if you don't want to play what is written. A good exercise for using the pedal and for legato phrasing.
