My new set of Piano Pieces, XIII - XVI, is now complete, three years after the previous volume was published. Here is the opening page of XV.

As a set, these four pieces are quite different from the ones that came before.

Send me a DM if you’d like to see the score.

Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s ‘ALL OF A SUDDEN’ debuts with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes following its Cannes premiere.

[Samuel Andreyev @SamuelAndreyev]

Following the Cannes premiere of SOUDAIN, during which many in the audience could be observed in tears, there was a thunderous, 15-minute standing ovation — nearly 3,000 people on their feet. It was a moment unlike any I have ever experienced in my career.

[Thomas Gerber @Th_Gerber]

SOUDAIN de Hamaguchi est une leçon de construction dramatique sur le temps long d'une immense classe. Les ennuyés s'ennuieront, les anti intellectuels rejetteront. Le récit avance avec une cohérence absolue jusqu'à un dernier tiers dévastateur. #cannes26

[Carlos Aguilar @Carlos_Film]

The new Hamaguchi film ALL OF A SUDDEN wrecked me in the most bittersweet of ways. Truly a movie that can make you feel hope in a bleak world. IMO it earns its unhurried unfolding. Lucky to have reviewed it for the @ThePlaylistNews. Link below.

Le casting de Soudain a vécu une expérience réellement à part sur le tournage, proche d’une expérience chamanique. On sent que quelque chose s’est passé et cela se ressent à l’écran. La magie du cinéma de Hamaguchi

“Beautiful, compassionate, profoundly humane, immense, peaceful, soulful meditation, heartbreaking, heartwarming, quiet elegance, intellectual, deeply emotional, masterfully written and directed, brilliant, earns every second”

It’s lowkey impressive to fit that much in one tweet

Minha crítica do excelente ALL OF A SUDDEN, novo filme de Rysuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car, O Mal Não Existe). O melhor filme de Cannes 2026 até agora, de longe. https://t.co/EBadkWx6Mo

Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s All of a Sudden is a remarkable, Oscar-worthy masterpiece that was worth the trip to Cannes. Richly textured, life-affirming, so deeply emotional I was moved to tears. Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto give two of the finest performances you will see all year.

[Karl Delos Santos @karl_delo]

Give ALL OF A SUDDEN the Palme now!! A masterpiece in every sense. An intimate but epic fast friendship for the ages leads to philosophizing about everything from caregiving to capitalism to dying to art. Hamaguchi is as detailed and textured as always, but more tender than ever.

Since this post was weirdly popular, here is a link to Mark’s amazing book of drawings, comics and poetry, for which I wrote the preface. Highest recommendation!

@SamuelAndreyev Hahaha I was going to do that exact post but the baby started crying to leave. The week before the toilet was upright with a children’s toy on it and I had to keep your daughter away from it

Plongeons dans les archives des bois rares à l'occasion de la venue du compositeur Samuel Andreyev, grand amoureux des instruments rares et précieux : hautbois baryton, le hautbois d’amour, la clarinette contrebasse ou encore le piccolo.

I condemn in the strongest terms the attack against an Italian Church in Istanbul during Sunday mass. Attacking a place of worship is unacceptable. My thoughts are with the victims & their families, & with the Turkish authorities as they tackle the situation @coe @CoESpokesperson
