A composer, poet and lyricist... Peter's been very prolific with over 10 thousand music works, several thousand poems and lyrics, few thousand pictures and photographs... You can listen to over 3000 of his music works, read and see few thousand poems, scores and pictures, on several web sites.
Music Style
All kinds of music with a good melody in it, including music for a large orchestra. All music is written down in music scores and songs are usually in 'AABA' form or 'A' 32 bar form.
Musical Influences
Everybody who knows how to make a good melody, the most important part in music and often the hardest to do properly, including W.A. Mozart, The Beatles, A.L. Webber and so on. I also like the old Am. masters of the musical: Richard Rodgers, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, The Gershwin brothers just to name a few. One of my favorite quotations: 'Melody is the main thing. Harmony is useful only to charm the ears.' --Haydn
