- Nikita Koshkin

as recorded by Nikita Koshkin

h - hammer-on

MIDI is available, but only to show timings of notes (not dynamics or tempo).

If anyone can provide any recordings by Koshkin of any of the following,
please e-mail me -
  Pan, Sonata, Merlin's Dream, Avalon 
[I have recordings of these but very Lo-Fi and Lo-Quality, and an*lOG]
  his rare "Flute and Guitar" duet piece
[I especially want this one, I've never heard it!]

This is the first part of Koshkin's "The Elves Suite". It's not supposed to
tell a story, but the suite expresses what Koshkin imagines of these little
elves. This is a very mysterious and cheeky piece I think.
