Miniatures
Here I offer my contribution towards the dignity of this genre: a collection of exercises of noble lyricism. Careful! (and on your own head be it), don't open the tap of false lyricism: forbidden the lachrymose, the fanatical, the sentimental. Young ladies, "mystic" enthusiasts and seekers of the arcane, be warned.
Piano mistresses, also, be warned.

Directions for use
1- Don't rename them, they already have names (Op. so and so, nº such and such)
2- Keep the temperature beneath 37...
3- ... and above 36
4- If your heart beats faster, if your blood pressure rises, don't play anymore: go and see the cardiologist
5- Without staring at the sky
6- ... or the earth
7- Really, without staring: if possible close your eyes... just listen
8- Take care of the text, it's not a work of the Holy Spirit... just mine: I put a lot of effort into writing it
9- Don't sing opera; recite simply and with your fingers!
10-Be patient, or they'll get the better of you
