Harrison's Piano Recordings

This area is meant to showcase some of my musical performances I have worked on over years. I have been playing the piano since I was 5 years old and considered it professionally at one point.

Although I chose a different path in life, I love playing the piano and the lessons that come with performing these incredibly intricate pieces of musical art.

Each piece resembles many hours of effort and, although they do not always represent final products, I try to create recordings at times that I have felt proud of my efforts and have enjoyed my own performances.

Thanks for visiting!

  • Rachmaninoff Prelude G Major

    This is from his preludes (Opus 32, No. 5). I think it’s a hidden gem, and one that was challenging to learn from a sense that great control is needed. I still think the great Horowitz has the best recording of this piece ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5s51cjdZEc) Read more

  • Schubert Impromptu Op. 90 No.2

    This is one of four exquisitely beautiful impromptus. It is very technically manageable and an excellent study for intermediate level practitioners. Fun to learn! Read more

  • Chopin “Revolutionary” Etude

    Chopin Etude Op.10 No.12, otherwise known as the “revolutionary” Etude Written as an Etude on the bombardment of Warsaw, I have always been captivated by this piece. Etude roughly translates to “study” and is meant as a technical exercise. For this particular one, it is an exercise of the left hand, which is typically a Read more

  • Beethoven Sonata No.23 – Appassionata 3rd Movement

    Beethoven Sonata No. 23, Opus. 57, otherwise known as the “appassionata” sonata, which translates to “impassioned”. The first time I heard this piece was probably around 2013-2014 and I was thrilled with the fire and passion with which this piece was written. I had actually heard a colleague of mine perform it at state competition Read more
