ALKONOST - Theme and Variations

Dearest Patrons,

So we have arrived at the end of another month. 

The world is still breathing and starting to move forwards... our government tells us from July that we can open up business as normal again. I'm skeptical and anxious for the future but also hopeful.

I'm still remaining home most of the time, stuck to the piano and therefore writing, writing, writing. The music never stops coming and for that I'm very grateful.

I am very pleased with this particular project. 

I might start a new career as a classical composer.

I have to say I've really enjoyed stepping away from the constraints of lyric-writing and having just music to play with all month. The Russian folklore concept has kept my imagination turning and having a range of instruments at my fingertips is just so rewarding.

This is also my nod to Rachmaninov. He has inspired a lot of my melodies, I think it's fitting to dedicate these piano compositions to him.

I definitely recommend listening to the original Serenade before delving in. You will literally hear the ideas take shape and develop as you travel through the mini-album. 

I hope you enjoy it. Feedback always greatly appreciated, and thank you for sticking with us during these last few months... it's been a strange time and Patreon has definitely kept me focused.

So without further ado...
