Reflection: “I really like the color and harmony and use of the varying range of the piano. The melody and sequence are nice and Rob brings back his original idea in an unexpected way with a sweet ending.”
Loss: “Brooding and foreboding chords open the beginning. This piece is a very poignant, sometimes tragic, sometimes angry picture of Loss.”
Chimes: “Love how opening phrases evolve, like a conversation unfolding. There are beautiful surprises. The playing does such a fine job of controlling and slowing down the feeling of time..like slow repeated Chimes. Bravo!”
Awakening: “Beautiful romantic melody opens at the beginning. What is awakening? With this longing melody and new agitato, almost dark ideas, this piece challenges the listener in a new way through a broad palette of colors”

"I love Rob's compositions. Very moody and dramatic."
In Quiet: “This piece is great. Loved the idea of empty chairs. This piece definitely creates a mood of emptiness.”
Mirage: "One of Rob's most technically difficult compositions...His playing is exciting and Rob displays great control over the piano."
