Slide ShowsPetrie Island Contemplation by "Ottaworth"A piano improvisation combined with photos of picturesque Petrie Island in the Ottawa River. The piano improvisation, recorded in 1995 on a Heintzman upright grand, was originally entitled "Basic Black in contemplation". Played exclusively on the black keys, it features a brief recurring melody that reappears in a number of Ottaworth's improvisations. In 2014 it was put together with a series of photos Ottaworth took in the summer of 2009 and was renamed "Petrie Island Contemplation". You will probably find it quite relaxing to listen to and conducive to meditation and contemplation of Nature.
