A reminder that

A classical piano album inspired by my story of extreme abuse and years of healing.
In the spirit of my favorite genre of music, solo piano music from the Romantic era (1820 to 1900), I have composed an album of piano nocturnes, which are traditionally expressive and evocative of intimacy or melancholy.
