But as in any union, absent knowledge, truth is prey to guile. And in a world in which guile reigns, the ruse trumps candor. This is why a gift cannot be made of justice.

Op. 6, Nos. 1-27

Op. 6, Nos. 1-27

"Undomesticated piano playing, urgent and sincere, without a sarcastic or satrical note. Delightfully ambiguous storytelling and a paean to the high culture offhandedly dismissed by post-modernism. Opus 6 is not only the work of a composer still laboring under the burden of his curses, but is also a resounding work against balefulness." –Aaron Desmond, Snide Magazine

And yet he may whip to blessing; since I know well that in his heart, Hell’s darkness, and light of Heaven, alike have their lot and part; But he who is unsteadiest, he is black as the...
