Photos



Here you may also view many galleries of photographs, a complete catalog of my work, and useful databases of musical information. Of course, don't forget about downloading free scores.

Stay a while and share our experiences. Our philosophy is to use classically simple web design and state-of-the-art technology (Unix© based) to present it. We manage this site ourselves and generate the design from a network built around a 64-bit SGI© and Dell© multiprocessor servers.
