Students Play Ricci

Andrea Ming, age five, plays “No. 9” and “No. 10” of The Recueil by F.P. Ricci.

Teachers Say

“Your play­ing sounds like the com­pos­er him­self is impro­vis­ing and there is a child­like qual­i­ty about it, a fresh­ness, light­ness and spon­tane­ity… a remark­able and orig­i­nal achieve­ment.” —Annie Nalezny, Berke­ley pianist and instructor

Students Say

Upon play­ing #10 from The Recueil for the first time, begin­ning stu­dent Maureen’s first reac­tion was, “Wow!” After prac­tic­ing the piece for sev­er­al weeks on her elec­tric key­board, she added, “I feel proud of myself. It feels like I am play­ing real clas­si­cal music. I don’t need to look at the music, it is eas­i­er to remember.”
