Since many of you have asked. . . the cover photo of me was taken by my wife in Castel di Tusa, Sicily at the Atelier sul Mare, a hotel-museum of contemporary art.
A review of my new songbook has been posted on MainlyPiano.com by Kathy Parsons: “. . . a sparkling collection of Brian Kelly’s own transcriptions of the eleven original piano solos from his forthcoming CD release, Tomorrow’s Daydream. . . The book itself is really beautiful, with full-color glossy covers (front and back), spiral binding, 80-pound paper, and clear and clean notation. The spacing is roomy and easy to read, and some of the pieces include Brian’s suggested fingerings. The music is fun to play, but it is definitely not for beginners. . . intermediate and advanced players will find plenty to love while getting lost in this music and making it theirs. Recommended!”

Kathy Parsons, influential educator and supporter of contemporary and new age piano music, has posted a review of my new solo piano songbook, Tomorrow’s Daydream.” Here is the entire review:
Tomorrow’s Daydream Solo Piano Songbook is a sparkling collection of Brian Kelly’s own transcriptions of the eleven original piano solos from his forthcoming CD release, Tomorrow’s Daydream. This folio is a little bit unusual in that the sheet music book is being released before the actual CD has been recorded…
The NEW SONGBOOKS are here! I’m excited to announce the arrival of my songbook, Tomorrow’s Daydream: Solo Piano Songbook! 11 solo piano pieces, 84 pages (88 if you count the covers ;0), printed, coil-bound, on 80lb. paper, transcribed by the composer.
This spring I hope finally to record the Tomorrow’s Daydream album on a real grand piano – in all likelihood, a Fazioli F278. I’m also working on two more songbooks… a revised edition of my “Pools Of Light” songbook (currently available only as a pdf file) will be published as a printed, coil-bound songbook. Also in the works is a printed songbook of twelve new solo piano pieces.
