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!

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 and was just blown away by the virtuosity. The music always felt empowering to me, so I started to learn it in 2016.

Everyday, I made sure to dedicate at least 30 minutes and over a couple months and this was the product. I’m a little sad I didn’t get to develop it further and work out the minute details for a really spectacular performance, but I felt I got the main idea, had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and am ultimately proud of this effort.

Recorded in 2016.
