Classical music is all I ever listened to in my youth and I have a preference for it, even though I have since encountered and learned to appreciate
other styles of music.

I have immense respect and admiration for the masters who have accompanied me from the outset.

Listening to them over the years I continue to be astonished by their command and genius. I have tried, with modesty, to recreate in some of my works, a little of their spirit.

Whilst I can't match, or even approach their genius, I thoroughly
enjoyed trying.
