Indeed! Especially in Blues Variations, which is - like the Golderg Variations - a theme-and-variation form. But like the WTC and AoF, it ends in a 4 voice fugue. All on a blues theme =)

Amazing music. Been listening to it on repeat for a while now... After you posted the link I went and googled her, found her own compositions and I absolutely love them.

If you have time: please research Friedrich Gulda and if Kimiko isn't aware of him yet please introduce her to his music, he went through a similar path, originally classically trained eventually went for his own style. Here is a sample:

Lots of jazz from him as well:

Maybe she will like it (or maybe you will :) ). Thank you again!

We love Gulda!
What is your opinion on Brad Mehldau - After Bach? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MZw6XI-b6Q
Brad Mehldau is Kimiko's absolute favorite jazz pianist. His mastery of harmony and his impeccable piano technique really speaks to her.
Heh, cool. The terrorist-pianist strikes again.
