Free downloads
Every now and then, Michael will make scores and audio files available for free download.
At the moment there are two piano scores that can be downloaded free. They are what he describes as palate cleansers, or simple short pieces written in between larger projects. The first of this series are the two Simple Piano Pieces Opus 10 nos 1&2. These piece are free to a good home and should be approached in the manner in which they were written i.e. without pretension and with a simple sense of joy. For your free download click here.
