Revising and engraving this bundle of early works after all of these years was a nostalgic labor of love. Looking back on these beginner piano pieces — the first pieces I ever composed — I am struck by their raw originality and melancholic simplicity. The wandering melodies, the surprising harmonic shifts, the bold gestures; this is music written by someone who is on the brink of discovery, not yet knowing where it will lead, but having a passion for the journey.
Simple pieces they may be, but each component included within it, is tuned to its respective finest making them perfect starting points for any beginning pianist.

Love the motion here, and how your melody isn't afraid to rest and let the left hand carry the phrase. Very nicely done Milo!
I have no words. You did an outstanding and brilliant work, Milo. It will be one of my favourite sets of piano pieces.
I've never been to France, but this is how I picture myself drinking a cup of coffee in some pretty little street. I enjoyed the change of dynamics throughout the piece. I love your versatility.
It is a moment captured which sings to the mosaic of this abundant life - a hallway of memories framed and frozen in time, yet it moves like a melody across the boundless corners of a timeless mind.
