Fingerprints
Fingerprints is a collection of piano pieces written by real, living composers who eat breakfast, get tired and irritable, laugh at jokes and have favorite things. Using their imagination and with a love for piano music, they have captured a little bit of what makes them who they are within some inspired pieces and left these as a set of musical ‘fingerprints’ for you to play.
