Everyone in his family played piano, some played other instruments too so his up bringing was full of music. He began classical piano at the age of 6, but preferred other endeavors so stopped after a few years. He was taught blues and boogie woogie by a friend at the age of 15 and carried on to play by ear.

A duet of "Perhaps Love" with Placido Domingo made the UK Top 50 in 1981, while Denver and Emmylou Harris had an American success with "Wild Montana Skies" in 1983. He wrote his autobiography Take Me Home in 1994 and a two-CD set, The Rocky Mountain Collection, was issued in the UK last year. Business economies being what they are, Denver switched to solo concerts without a group in recent years but he excelled with narrations like "The Ambulance Down In the Valley".

Obviously, you would not think much entertainment would thrive in such in dark time, but I guess a few composers proved me wrong! A few composers who made music today possible by struggling through the aftermath of the Black Death epidemic would be; Jasquin Des Prez, (who was a big name at the time,) Pierre De La Rue, a very well proclaimed vocalist (The New York Time Company 2012, March 23.
He composed many brilliant music works such as Bolero, Piano concert for the left hand and so on. Compare to other famous musician such as Franz Schubert who had a lot of completed relationships with other women, Ravel was not famous for his personal life, and seldom people knew his intimate relationships. He remained a mystery of his personal life. I wonder what his real life in 1923 and how he could compose so much innovative music.

Liszt created sounds from the piano as if an orchestra were playing them, and he had remarkable finger dexterity; works such as Douze Grandes Etudes and Paganini Studies show off his amazing talent on the piano.
