homeofficepianist


Welcome to homeofficepianist, a website embracing the unique opportunities of this moment in time to explore alternative forms of creative communication. In sharing the result of his daily practice sessions with you, the homeofficepianist invites you into the everyday rhythms of his musical journey

About two years ago, utilising the time at home afforded by the pandemic's lockdown restrictions, the homeofficepianist embarked on an expansive exploration of the musical universe, with each journey catalogued in a collection of periodic recordings.


Initially, these recordings were made as a tool to self-monitor practice progression. However, these humble recordings capture something of the feeling of performance, and therefore the homeofficepianist began to share them with friends and colleagues. The positivity of this experience has inspired him to create this platform to welcome you into this musical exchange, joining him on a mystical and enlightening path.

SONATE A DUR D 664


Allegro moderato

Andante









“this music has no air or light. It is a weak heart beat, you cannot ask it to reach more than a few inches into  space, but it’s mission is to reach the profound depths of our soul and the secret regions of our spirit’s spirit. This music is quiet (callada) because one listens to it within. Contained and reserved. It’s emotion is secret and only becomes sound from resonance under the cold cape of our society.It is my desire that this music, should bring us closer to the warmth of life, and the expression of the human heart, that is always the same and constantly changing.”

the pieces of  Federico Mompou's second book of MUSICA CALLADA
are, to me, among his darkest and enigmatic works.
He experimented with a-, bi- and whatever tonality,
but did not really find a way into the idiom of his atonal colleagues....
and later allowed his deeply felt bond to tonality to take over again.
I could not find a way into these pieces for years.
Now, slowly, I am becoming more confident with my approach, and so want to present some of the results.
Maybe the dark times help

These pieces were arranged by Giacomo Puccini himself.
They reveal the greatness of his genius.
He uses the piano in an ideal way and did not just produce a mere reduction of the opera score.
Not many notes, just the important ones. Sometimes he does not follow the original song line,
in order to make it more fit for the piano and this other form of music.
I can see his sincerity and seriousness and for that he has found a place in my heart.

It is, of course, not possible to transfer the dramatic atmosphere and power of the real opera performance onto the piano.
For me as a performer, it is difficult to find the right balance between the attempted imitation of the opera voice
and the necessities of the piano.
But anyway I consider these pieces as little jewels
