Recorded this morning on my Yamaha B3, using a Zoom AM7 microphone on my mobile phone.

Simonb very nice!

is that from this book? I received this as a gift, but I couldn’t get my head around it. Is it like Mikrokosmos maybe?

Simon, I commented over at Piano world but I'll say it again,... a very interestiong little work. More "abstract" than i would hace figured coming from Corea.

That’s some heavy stuff! Great chords.

Hi ShiroKuro

Yes, I have the album and the book of sheet music. My sheet music book has a different cover to yours.
In fact your cover is borrowed from a more recent album cover by Chick Corea, called "Plays" - which is fabulous!

I don't know about similarities to Mikrokosmos (because I don't know anything about Mikrokosmos!).
Chick Corea re-used some of the 20 pieces in other compositions. I like them a lot.

Whew, those were some daring chords! I think Peyton said it best: abstract - I like that description 🙂 Very unusual indeed, you are such an all round musician obviously - jazz, classical and... ermm... "this stuff" haha! And everything played equally well 😃

Hi Sophia

You're too kind. If I had to name one musician whose talent I could have some of; very high on the list would be Chick Corea. Sadly he passed away in early 2021, but he left an incredible recording legacy.

Here's one of a whole series of videos he made during covid, sadly only about 6 months before he died.
