Liebestraum No. 3 in A-flat Major by F. Liszt

Liebestra¨ume (German for "Dreams of Love") comprises a series of three piano works by Franz Liszt. These works were originally conceived as lieder (songs) based on three poems that described different types of love. Liebestra¨ume No. 3 in A-flat major, the third and most popular work, is the piece that I chose to perform. It is based on a poem about “unconditional mature love.”

Moanin' by A. Blakely, made famous by C. Mingus

My art is based of a Jazz piece called Moanin. It is very popular baritone saxophone piece, and an amazing jazz song. I made it so it’s not too long, has a the Bari solo for most of it, some trombone for the background music (note: I’m barely learning to play trombone) and ended it off with a little clarinet solo.

I started on a tiny violin and still remember all the Twinkle variations with which I started.
