For You

'For You' I conceived of as musical portraiture for the solo piano. Each piece was composed for a specific family member or dear friend of mine and entitled accordingly.

All except Kachaturianí's beautiful 'Ivan Sings',which presumable follows my theme (and I couldn't resist taking some liberties with) and 'Missing You' which I wrote while my wife was in graduate school. What follows is my attempt at saying something that is both specific and rife with metaphor for each person I am interpreting.

I hope you enjoy!
