Dan Maftei

About me

I am a pianist available for hire anywhere live music would be of benefit — which is to say just about everywhere!

I also teach private piano lessons for students of all levels and musical interests.

Music

Gigs

I can offer a fun, laid-back atmosphere at receptions and corporate events, easy listening and romantic background music for restaurants and intimate spaces, and lively dance music when accompanying bands. Some examples:

Classical

Soirees

I occassionally hold little concerts at my apartment for friends. This was from the first one in 2024: Chopin Waltz in D-flat Major.

A/V Projects

  • Miscellaneous Pieces (2020-2022)
    I experimented recording myself playing classical pieces and posting them on YouTube. The main idea was to try, without much fuss, to just record, and learn about the process. I wrote little descriptions for the majority of them, available in pinned comments on the YT clips. Listen on YouTube.
  • Dance Music (2024)
    After a pause on the YouTube project, I tried again to record just audio of some classical dance pieces for a show I had planned, using some new techniques. Listen on BandCamp.

Pomona College Recital

In building this site I listened to old recordings and was pleasantly surprised by these two pieces recorded at a college recital I played in in 2010. I don't recall at the time seeing pieces I played beyond a series of notes that must be executed in order, but they came out alright. Listen on BandCamp.
