gismonti

[Tilmann Dehnhard <tilmann@dehnhard.com>]

only few other musicians have made me as happy as egberto gismonti.
he has written some joyful and simple yet harmonically enthralling 
pieces that
made my heart dance on a regular basis.
my favourite tune of his is
Loro (The Parrot)

 fantastic piano solo piece
