Just as Chopin Dreams is about Chopin, My Inner Brahms is about…you can guess! I composed My Inner Brahms for Orli Shaham, who plays it so beautifully on track 7 of her fabulous Brahms Inspired recording:

Does Bruce take suggestions for Piano Puzzlers?
Sometimes it happens. If you want to make a suggestion, Contact us through our online form. We can’t promise that your suggestion will become a Puzzler, but Bruce will definitely read your idea. On a few occasions, people have commissioned Bruce to compose a specific piano puzzler for an important event, such as a big birthday or graduation.
