In this collection of piano solos, you will find the WORLD’S FIRST PIANO SOLO ever composed that can be played backwards and forwards and upside down…and sound the SAME! The piece is called “SOLOS” and is an ambigram and a palindrome. Two variations of “SOLOS” that are more difficult are added that use the melody of this unusual piece. There is a special piece called “Mirror”. When held to a mirror it will have the "mirror effect" and sound very nice the way it looks in the mirror. The collection includes a Palindrome, “STATS” which is excellent for sight reading and is beneficial for the eyes as you read it backwards.

This collection has a wide variety of pieces suitable for recitals, relaxing, and sight reading. Also included is a special piece titled “Encore”, which was composed just for that very reason, to play last, but not least. I used the musical letters in the name of the man that booked me for the concert after he called and requested that I have an encore ready!

Every piece was composed from my piano as I heard a melody or tried to put a feeling or thought to music. Every piece has a story. I hope the music in this book speaks to your heart and brings listening pleasure as well as a feeling of love, joy, and peace.

I appreciate this opportunity to share my favorite piano solos with you and may they be an inspiration for other composers and fun for students and teachers to perform.
