The new and original sheet music for the piano is presented in this book for the beginner and intermediate/advanced pianist to improve their musicality, technique, and overall understanding of the piano repertoire. I composed this music as contemporary music for the modern pianist, for the pianist to have fun playing and at the same time master stylistic features of music of different styles, and to hone musical and technical skills. Each piece focusses on a particular style of music, with a certain musical or technical problem for the pianist. Overall, the music is designed to be fun and for the pianist to return to time and time again. This music is designed to bring back the joy of playing music for one's own edification.

The mystery of the Pyramids has been solved! For thousands of years the Pyramids have been enshrouded in mystery and their purpose for being built has been an enigma. This book solves the mystery of the Pyramids and presents the mathematical discoveries in a clear and rational way. The connection between the mathematics of the Pyramids and the Crop Circles is revealed! Mathematician, R.K. Owens, presents compelling findings about the geometry behind the Pyramids. Using the Golden Ratio, Vesica Piscis and Pi, new and exciting discoveries are presented mapping the precise geometry behind the Pyramids of Giza, the conical structures of Guachimontones and the Sun and Moon Pyramids of Teotihuacan. The mathematics that appears in natural organic growth is the same mathematics that unifies the Pyramid complexes. R.K. Owens demonstrates the interconnections between the height, slopes and base of the Pyramids. He shows how the same measurements that appear in the Pyramids of Giza are also the same mathematics and ratios of sunflowers and natural organic growth. The mathematics of the layout of the Pyramid complexes is mapped out, demonstrating the reason for the three Pyramids being lined up in the way that they are. The reason that the third, smaller Pyramid is offset by a number of degrees is mathematically explained. The same mathematics and ratios that appear in the layout of the Pyramids of Giza also occurs in the structures of Guachimontones and the Sun and Moon Pyramids of Teotihuacan. This is demonstrated in this book with clear mathematics. Most compellingly, R.K. Owens decodes the mathematics of Crop Circles that feature the same mathematics as the layout of the Pyramids. This presents questions as to the origin of the Pyramids and our own sacred origins as a human race.

What makes Frederic Francois Chopin's music so poignant and beautiful? Why are there so many comparisons made between Chopin's sublime piano music and the beauty of flowers in nature? The music of the sickly Pole has stood the test of time and continues to be played and enjoyed the world over. Is there a deeper connection between the music and the natural world than we have yet perceived? Musicologist R.K. Owens studies the unifying mathematics within the music of Chopin. R.K. Owens maps out the geometry behind the music, using the Golden Ratio, Vesica Piscis, Pi, the Unit Circle and the multiplications of 9 to demonstrate how the proportions of Chopin's music corresponds with the pleasing symmetrical proportions present in the mathematics of nature. R.K. Owens explores the connection between music and Sacred Geometry, through Chopin's timeless masterpieces. This book presents new discoveries and mathematical theories about the underlying geometry behind Chopin's music. This mathematics is meticulously explained through three of Chopin's most beautiful works, the Etude in E major, opus 10, no. 3, the Nocturne no. 10 in A flat major, opus 32, no. 2 and the Nocturne no. 13 in C minor, opus 48, no. 1. By the end of this book, you will learn how Chopin's music connects with the pleasing symmetrical proportions of nature. This Sacred Geometry is inherent in our own selves and connects us back to our true nature. The mathematics behind the music helps to explain why Chopin's music is treasured by pianists and audiences alike the world over.

Pianist and teacher R.K. Owens seeks to clear up myths and misconceptions as to the approach to playing Chopin's music on the piano, and to provide concert pianists, intermediate pianists, piano teachers and listeners alike with a clear understanding of how the pianist should approach playing Chopin's music on the piano. Topics that are covered are rubato, phrasing, articulation and pedalling among many other topics. This book seeks to bring the pianist and audience closer to Chopin's music and to approach his music in a unique way that befits a unique composer. This book seeks to bring back the subtle lost art of playing Chopin's music on the piano. The music of Frederic Francois Chopin is synonymous with the piano. The music of the sickly Pole has retained a unique position among the great composers, as nearly all of his poignant and beautiful music remains in the repertoire of pianists and is constantly played and enjoyed today. He was unique in that almost all of his output was for the solo piano and in compositions that featured other instruments, they tend to play a supporting role to the piano. But despite his unique position as the poet of the piano, there has been surprisingly little study as to the role that the piano, as an instrument in its own right, plays in shaping Chopin's compositions. Chopin composed with a keen understanding of the special qualities that make the piano unique and the king of musical instruments. Not only did he compose music in which the piano could shine, he showed us the breadth of music that was capable of being expressed on the newly developed solo instrument. The compositions reflect the qualities of the piano and the piano in turn brings out the beauty of the musical ideas expressed in the composition. In a world where the pianist must practice lengthy hours and play all of the repertoire from the Renaissance Era to the 21st Century, the art and aesthetic of playing Chopin's music, and its uniqueness to the piano, can be lost in the noise.

What makes Beethoven's music so timeless and of such obvious genius? He is a composer who has drawn much praise and there are many attempts to describe and explain why the music has such an impact on audiences and why it carries the listener to such heights. Musicologist R.K. Owens studies the unifying mathematics within the music of Beethoven. R.K. Owens maps out the geometry behind the music, using the Golden Ratio, the Vesica Piscis, Pi, the Unit Circle and the multiplications of 9 to demonstrate how the proportions of Beethoven's music corresponds with the pleasing symmetrical proportions present in the mathematics of nature. This book presents new discoveries and mathematical theories about the underlying geometry behind Beethoven's music that proportions the music according to the same mathematics that is present in nature. This mathematics is meticulously explained through three of Beethoven's most popular pieces with audiences, the 'Moonlight' Sonata, 'Emperor' Concerto and the 9th Symphony. By the end of this book, you will learn how Beethoven structured the geometry behind the music to create timeless masterpieces that resonate with people the world over.
