July 23, 2025Jul 23 12 Variationen Über Das Lied "Heidenröslein" Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight Began this piece at about 11:30 last night and trying to finish in twelve hours, writing directly into Noteflight, and it is a virtuoso showpiece. Took on a life of its own, and I can't even play piano! I am giving myself a sort of Diary in the comments!
July 23, 2025Jul 23 Author Hey, some of you pianists here learn this right fast, ya hear? 🤣 Ich koennte auf den Boden gefallen und sterbend lachende!-W.A. Mozart. My German is improving...but still rudimentary.
July 24, 2025Jul 24 Author Maybe finish today, then put it on some Kraut forum! Three variations and decided on a variation-long coda, to go!
August 13, 2025Aug 13 Author I still think it's the best piano piece I ever wrote, in 38 years. I am 56. When are they going to kick me off this site for not being a "Young Composer?" Young at heart, I guess.

August 26, 2025Aug 26 Author Two minor changes today, measure 78 I changed a G in the bass to an Ab, because it made more sense in just the harmonic grammar, and measure 96 in the "Minore" variation, where I did not reproduce the melody correctly. Just had to do that, and change the RH 16th figuration to a dominant seventh of C minor on the first beat.
August 26, 2025Aug 26 Author Hard to believe it has been just about exactly a month since I wrote this, and it is the last thing I wrote! I go through compositional sorts of manic/depressive phases anyway, compositional "spurts," and that little bit of editing almost puts me back in the mood again, almost...I get paid in three days, and maybe a couple of stiff drinks would help! 😆
September 8, 2025Sep 8 Author Really, need to work on the Minore variation. Sounds good musically, but I may have gone off by a third in the melodic transposition! I'll get to it when I feel like thinking.
