Thoroughly enjoyed practicing this delightful blend of two evergreen classics. Colourful and captivating variations will keep listeners mesmerised. Thanks to David for putting together this elegant and enjoyable arrangement.

Thank you David for composing a varied progamme for your book Transitions. It helps immensely to be able to watch your YouTube performances and also listen to your pieces as an mp3 recording. Your excellent arrangement of Bach's Toccata and Fugue initially caught my attention and then each piece in the book has become just as interesting to listen to and play. I appreciate the pianistic manner in which you compose your pieces and also the positive energy communicated in all your music. I have only recently discovered your performances on YouTube and will be introducing your pieces to my piano students as part of our music repertoire list for our Music Festival this year. Thank you so much!

I am really enjoying playing this lovely piece. It is very lyrical and not difficult to play.

Just purchased this album, and it is really outstanding!
I discovered David Hicken's music when I watched the video Carol of the Bells, and was super impressed. Love how the left hand keeps a bass rhythm going, and the same style is present in many of the pieces on this album.
David's work has brought great joy to me and many other people, thank you so much!

Thank you David for your inspiring compositions! I have really enjoyed watching your YouTube videos and listening to your pieces. You communicate such a positive mindset in all your playing as well as in your books about the piano. The pieces from "Transitions" are an excellent selection of styles of writing, keys, technical features and moods. Your arrangement of Bach's Toccata and Fugue is the piece which initially caught my attention and now it is very hard to say which is my favourite piece in this book. As a teacher, I will be asking my students to select one of your pieces for our Music Festival this year and I look forward to seeing which pieces they will choose. Looking further, your music introduces students and listeners to the essense of the Baroque style and will no doubt spark a greater interest in Baroque music and the piano in general amongst the students that I teach as well as for myself. Thank you so much!

Dear David, thank you for your music… I’m Ukrainian, born and living in Kiev, and to describe my last year in few words… there are no words for what I feel, to be honest. Your music for this very moment (since I have heard it for the first time few months ago), especially Silent Night- is such a safety place, where I’m trying to hide from this cruel and unnecessary destructive times and forces… I wish I could talk to you in person, as I’m a choreographer, wishing I could ask you to write music for a ballet!… but it’s obviously not the best time yet. I am not a pianist, i just started to learn how to play piano about a year ago, when the nightmare, called “war”, started in my beautiful country… just because I could put headphones on and make the sounds of music even louder, than everything else, happening around me. It will take me about a year to learn your arrangement to a song, that my mother was singing to me around Christmas time, since I was born) but I so really want to learn it and play one day! Hope you are doing great! Please, don’t stop doing, what you choose to be right! Your music is beautiful and so, I am sure, are you! Thank God there is you, David!

I was looking for one of David's slower pieces to learn, and "Sir Arthur" may be my new favourite! The melody is gorgeous, and the harmonies accent it perfectly. It's fun and easy to play, which is a great combination. I especially love the story behind the piece as well, which makes it even more special. I'm looking forward to learning the rest of this piece.
