It is a real pleasure to listen to David's albums. The piano really transports you to another world! It really changes your mood and I will buy the other albums as well. Great job, David!
The sheet music is very nice to play. Since you have played it on youtube I know how it's supposed to be played. Uncomplicated purchase. Well appreciated!! Thank you, David!
The music is great. But I didn't buy the sheet music for myself, because unfortunately I'm not a musician, but for my wife. The wife said that the sheet music are very good, comfortable and pleasant to play.
I love the repetition, because it is reminiscent of the calming background of a fireplace whilst carolers adorn the outer grounds with song.
This is a wonderful seasonal piece and not too difficult.
Thank you for inspiring my students with your music. I have several looking forward to your competition this year

This piece fits beautifully in the fingers,flows easily, and rewards with an absolutely beautiful melodious vignette of sound.
It's one of my favorites as I was able to download, print, and play it through within minutes.
Another amazing treat from David!
Eine gelungene und facettenreiche Bearbeitung für ein spannendes Lied mit einer mystischen Melodie.
Eine schöne eingehende Melodie, die zum Träumen einlädt. Wunderbar bearbeitet und auch für den Anfänger gut spielbar.
I already enjoyed this piece while listening. Now reading the sheet I can see that there are even cross-overs that I didn't get.
Playing it will cost me a while as this piece is not the easiest one. But I hope that I will be able to succeed as it gives a lot of people a smile on their face.
David's YouTube videos make this piece look so difficult, but it's definitely not unmanageable! I'm just getting back into piano after about two decades away and it's so enjoyable to slowly regain competence on such challenging and incredibly creative pieces. The challenge now is choosing the next!
Exhilarating! If humans had wings, this is surely what it must feel like to fly!
Normally, I cannot cope with intriguers or intrigues, but this tune was so enchanting, I had to make an exception. I adopted this intriguing, mysterious composition and haven't regretted my decision.
A very good 3-pager practice piece on easy/intermediate level!
A firewort in classical style! Don't worry about the title - some irritations with people around you might occur, but you can avoid these if you manage to play it without the score;-) The audience will give you a big applause. This marvellous piece is definitely worth learning it!
I love this piece! It's a very emotional, just a little bit mysterious, mellow piece with a middle part that spreads optimism. It' s not hard to learn, but you should have practised to play in different keys first. I purchased it together with the faster piece "Ulterior Motive" in classical style which is a good completion for all pianists who like playing in both styles.
Without any ulterior motive I will write here all the good things I feel and think about this piece. It is lively, very interesting to learn, enjoyable to play and so satisfying when you finally master it ! And if you have an audience people will love the tune and start singing it along and remember it ! It will make them very happy and proud to know such good music ! Thank you for composing such positive and optimistic music it's good for keeping our spirits up <3
I have been playing piano for over 50 years and now teach privately. One of my students asked me to get them David Hicken Piano music... After listening to some great keyboard interpretations I purchased the Art of Piano Book.. many great arrangements and will be challenging for some but a great goal to reach for others.Look to working through each srrangment with my students! Great take!

I’m very pleased with the purchase. The download of the ebook was possible immediately. The piano music sheets are for late intermediate and advanced. Each piece has tempo and fingering suggested. The music sheets are legible, well spaced on each page.
I highly recommend the book! Thank you!
I purchased A Little Intrigue shortly after it was released; it was a fun little piece to play. David recently expanded it from one page to three (and sent those who had purchased it already the update) and it really added to the piece. I still play both, but think I am settling on the expanded version as the 'permanent' one. Definitely worth the purchase.
The ruins of Fountains Abbey remind us of the transience of all things, and this beautiful piece expresses this nostalgic and mysterious mood very well. I can highly recommend it.
