Sunrise Toccata is the first piece of music I ever wrote, when I was sixteen years old.

While the piece is not available for performance or purchase, I do keep this recording on my site, especially for young musicians who want to hear what my work might have sounded like when I was their age. This is me, performing the piece at my high school graduation recital.
