Hey there! I'm Rick van Veldhuizen and I am a young composer. Since I'm 6 years old, I play the piano, I started out playing the most ugly pieces in the most ugly way, but I made a giant leap from bad to good amateur, when I was 12. Since then, I also started composing, and my piano skills have bettered a lot. I admire Debussy, Ravel, Poulenc, Messiaen, Bernstein, Elfman and Sondheim greatly, and I love dark themes. My first work was the Aristocrat Rhapsody (which has been through like a 1000 changes), and started going more impressionist-modern. Since 2008, I also sing and play the clarinet. Except from my musical studies, I'm a writer too, I write screenplays, plays, musicals, and I'm working on a novelle. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)

On-line as from now: Baroque Suite, German Rondo Writed on 2009-05-31 by Rick Van Veldhuizen It's been quite a while,
but now I have added some
scores again: Baroque Suite
op. 11, a suite which combines
baroque elements with
neo-classist elements. The
suite consists of 4 movements:
a menuet, a guigue-scherzo, an
air and a saraband, written
for harpsichord. The second is
the German Rondo, Op. 12, a
piece in a 'quasi
Schumann'-style which I
have written a year and a half
ago, which shows a trip
through Germany.
Maybe in a few weeks I'll
upload the String Quartet op.
14 and the Concert Piece op.
15.
All the best,
Rick

Interest : Skill level : I am thrilled, to be honest.
The sheets are very beautiful
with the paintíngs as well - I
don\\\'t really want to
download them for free...
Thank you so much! I don\\\'t
think I will be able to play
them, but it\\\'s exiting to
be able to follow on the notes
while listening.
Interest : Skill level : C'est excellent! Je comprends
que tu aimes moins la
troisième, moi aussi. Je
trouve que c'est la moins
travaillée et la plus
dissonante. Mais c'est
excellent quand même. Beaucoup
de talent, en tous cas,
beaucoup plus que moi (J'ai le
même âge que toi (je suis né
le 7 juin 1994)et on a
commencé à composer pendant la
même année). J'adore tout ce
que tu fais.
Bonne continuation,

these info are true!
