THE INTERNET PIANO PAGE

Here is a collection of close to 350 "vinyl" lp's. You can't "touch" them, but, it is a much more extensive "listening list" than what I have selected, below. Visit this site, find something of interest, then see if you can find your selection at the public library, or at Amazon, or CDNOW! These recordings go back 50 plus years! (I found these, looking for Sabicas, one of the greatest Flamenco Guitarists of the century. He and Carlos Montoya are the epitomy of Flamenco!)

"THE WORLD OF MUSIC"

I have been promoting "Listening to Mozart" ("LTM") improves the IQ. This was the result of a documented study! Last Sunday, November 8, 1998, in the Los Angeles Times, an article reported that listening to "classical" music can actually "HEAL" the brain. Read the article "HERE"

In order not to disappoint you, I am trying to be very particular in the selection of music I present to you. This has, honestly, been the most difficult for me. I ask for your indulgence, and patience, and I promise a rewarding experience. (I really would appreciate your comments, either with a personal e-mail, or on the "guestlist".)

I am pleased I have found this "library" ("CMA") of special "midi" versions of many of the popular (and also, the not so well-known) classics. You may not have found them, yet, so I offer them to you, if you will scroll "UP" and use either the "ICON" or the "Link", just below it.

Please, bear in mind, real live acoustical instruments have no equal. And, the REAL sound will always be more satisfying!

In the meantime, I have a recommendation for listening pleasure, for the introduction of this part of "Efrem's Page".

Make a note of the following link! Better - "SAVE" in a favorite, or "Bookmark" this link

This is what you came here for, and I welcome you. If you stick with me, we are going to have a lot of fun. Perhaps you can visit your local library or call your classical radio station and make a request for one or more of these. All of these selections should be readily available.

As I get into this, I shall attempt to offer a bit of program "notes". Nothing to bore you with, just some light accompanying information!

Here's a toast to 1998, 1999, and now, 2000 filled with MUSIC.

"DRAAC'S TABLES"
