Six Songs without Words
Description
This volume presents lyrical pieces that will
warm your heart
Because of their generally lyrical style, the six pieces in this collection are especially intended for teenagers and adults, as well as all those who like melodious pieces. They are also available as individual pieces.
May your pleasure in playing them, or hearing them, be equal to that I had in writing them!
Other pieces of varied styles can be found in another album entitled Twelve pieces for piano, published by the same editions.
Song for Jimmy and Mary's Little Reverie were recorded in 2007 by pianist Michel Fournier (CD album "17:05") [See the item "Le CD 17:05" in the news].

Sweet secret
The secret is within your reach, as long as you know the theme of my Song for Jimmy... Let's see if you will find it.
