Chopin: Polonaise-Fantasy in A-flat major, Op. 61
This rich and delicious piece is one of my all-time favorite works to play.

Debussy: Spleen (from Ariettes Oubliees)
First of all: the spleen, in modern medicine, is known as an organ in our bodies that regulates blood volume.  A hundred years ago, however, the spleen was believed to be the originator of all human emotions.  Debussy's works for voice and piano are my favorite works of his -- perhaps even more so than his solo piano output -- and Spleen is a song I transcribed for solo piano a number of years ago so that I would still get to play it when I cannot find a singer to play with.

Rachmaninoff: Sonata in D minor, Op. 28 (1st movement)
This was recorded from my sophomore recital at the University of Michigan in 1998.
