BEEDE 2022 by Norman Beede

This album started with a request by Daniel Cooper, artist. filmmaker, musician living in Canada for me to record three classical piano pieces by Debussy, Mozart and Mendelssohn for a movie he was producing, The Art of Music and Inner Harmony. I warmed up for the sessions in August and December of 2022 by improvising several pieces in eclectic styles. I found six I liked and later a seventh which isn't mastered but I will possibly add it in another album and/or add it as a bonus track in this album. The artwork for the album is by Kay Freyling (1947-1995). Kay was my partner from 1986 to 1995. The drawing was done sometime between 1992 and 1994.
