Thank you for your comment. I have performed a few of these sketches, and plan to perform his piano sonata in the near future.

I studied under Denver Oldham from 1973-1977 on Long Island....These were pieces I learned from him among others....
I've been searching for hours this beauty in my RUclips history... Clouds is incredible thanks for sharing 🙏
Truly wonderful pieces :) so romantic, so passionate and emotional!
This is very good.
Harmonic concept ahead of his time, imo.
The third one is great
Just discovered my upload of this was taken down! He has such a polished output. Great video.
Absolutely. I'm learning the sonata at the moment, very interesting language.
