Dear Sir /Madam
I am a professional pianist and composer. Since I arrived to Australia two years ago I have done a piano recital at the Melba Hall, a concert at the St. Kilda Town Hall and some other concerts. At Melba Hall I played the big sonata B-flat major by F.Schubert, his Four Impromptus op. 90 and five pieces by P.Tchaikovsky. In St. Kilda Town Hall I played four preludes by S.Rachmaninov, my own four preludes, accompanied to a violinist and performed the piano part at the F.Mendelssohns trio d-minor. I also played in some halls pieces by F.Chopin (waltzes, polonaise, mazurkas, ballade As, nocturne, scherzo cis), by S.Rachmaninov (eight preludes, two musical moments), sonatas by L.van Beethoven (No 3 and No 23, Appassionata), eight etudes by A.Scriabin, two etudes by F.Liszt and his Spanish Rhapsody. My compositions were performed in Melbourne and Sydney including The Arts Centre Hamer Hall and Sydney Opera House Concert Hall. This was Grainger Fantasy for eight pianos. I have references from world-famous Australian and overseas musicians.
