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!

Bach Prelude and Fugue No. 20 BMV 889, A minor

This one is really nostalgic. I really worked on the fine details while preparing this one for competition a long time ago. So, in my opinion it is more professional than a lot of my other recordings. But even so, there is always room for improvement!

This is part of Bach’s famous Well-Tempered Clavier (clavier referring harpsichord because the piano didn’t exist at this time). He wrote a prelude and fugue (kind of like a dynamic duo composition) in every single major and minor key, and then did it again (Books 1 and 2, respectively). This is from the second-book.

The piece out of these 2 books that is likely the most famous is the first one, the prelude in C Major BMV 846.

Anyways, the prelude starts at 0:00 and the fugue starts at 5:48. I personally liked playing the fugue more, so please feel free to skip ahead.
