Silent Night
Here is a jazzy version of the iconic song. The intro has an improvisational feel to it, and then the tempo gets rather fast. – Piano solo // Length 2:14, tempo rubato, 3/4

Happy Fingers Rag
Here is a little bit of old times, fast and happy. 🙂 – Honky-tonk solo // Length 2 min, 100 bpm, 2/4
Toy Polka
This is originally a piece from A.Lowery’s printed collection “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. This electronic version has more comic and cartoonish character; it is funny, jumpy, and extremely happy. – Muted trumpet, xylophone, marimba, honky-tonk duo, button accordion, percussion // Length 1:20, 121 bpm, 2/4
Allegretto (Singing Frogs – two- piano version)
This is originally a piece from A.Lowery’s printed collection “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. There are 2 variants of the piece: 1) the humorous electronic version (Singing Frogs), 2) and this one – for two pianos. The piano version has a faster tempo, but somehow in an unhurried, measured pace, and it has a different flavor to it. It is also playful and happy, but not as comical and grotesque, as its electronic counterpart.
Piano duo // Length 1:07, 178 bpm, 4/4

Running Around
This is a very happy and playful electronic art piece; its first rough name was “Everybody Is in a Hurry to Somewhere”. You can hear a fast-ticking clock at the beginning, and then everything just starts running… The piece can work as an intro to a comedy, or a musical illustration to a sport game, or just to be a companion to any fast movement on the screen. – Synthesizers, percussion, drums, choir (background) // Length 1:42 160 bpm, 4/4
Romantic Valse
This is originally a piece from A.Lowery’s printed collection “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. This version is for two pianos; it has the sense of romance and elegance to it, with its unhurried flow and the beautiful sound of two grand pianos. –
Piano duo // Length 1:15, 160 bpm, 3/4 (or 53 bpm, if to consider it as 3/8)
Polish Valse
This is originally a piece from A.Lowery’s printed collection “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. This version is for two pianos; it has the sense of romance and elegance to it, imitating typical melodic intonations of Polish folk music. – Length 1:09, 176 bpm, 3/4 (or 58 bpm, if to consider it as 3/8)
Marching Pianos
This is a piece from my printed collection of pieces “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools accompanists (the “Coda”). This version is for two pianos; the character is very lively and upbeat. In the middle part you’ll find 2 very short “quotations”, a reference to two iconic American melodies – “I Wish I Was in Dixie” by Dan Emmett and “The Stars and Stripes Forever” by J.F.Sousa – as a brief wink to the tradition. 🙂 – Piano duo // Length 1:17, 132 bpm, 4/4
Brilliant Valse
This is one of the pieces from A.Lowery’s printed collection of classical ballet exercises “The Elements of Ballet” for the ballet schools’ accompanists. This version is for two pianos; the mood of the piece is very happy and inspiring to dance.
Piano duo // Length 1:15, 72 bpm 3/8 (or 206 bpm, if to consider it as 3/4)
Retro Piano
The piece imitates the light music style of the oldies, maybe, the 30ths – with a hint of virtuosity and a few nice harmonic transitions.
Length 1:44, 150 bpm, 4/4
