It is a Set of 9 short variations based on the andantino themes from the Raymond Overture by Ambroise Thomas. The composer is looking to work (online) with a talented pianist. The pianist will then video record his/her performances of the piece (3 separate performance recordings will be required for video editing and final video creation purposes).
The composer will arrange to have the supplied video recordings edited and will arrange production of the final completed video. Additionally (and subject to suitably high quality HD video recordings being supplied) the pianist’s video performance may be advertised for publicity in ‘International Piano’, or other similar music magazine and/or website(s).

- Performance experience, technical expertise and professionalism
