	Pianoman Goes Bach, Pianoman Goes Baroque and Pianoman Does Beethoven
are probably the highest quality music now in existence for personal computer
without supplemental hardware;  it is the most complex and musically advanced
in PC-SIG's library.  Together, these three disks comprise the most complete
and extensive collection of music for unmodified IBM-compatibles presently
available - shareware or commercial.

	All three disks were produced using Pianoman software, but do not
require any other software, including BASIC, to run.  Each has a batch file
serving as a main menu which offers the user a spectrum of choices in playing
the selections.  You will very likely be astounded that your PC can produce
sound of this caliber.

	Pianoman Goes Bach plays 28 uninterrupted minutes of inventions,
preludes and fugues written by Johann Sebastian Bach.  Pianoman Goes Baroque
presents 32 minutes of works by popular composers of the 18th century and
still vital today.  Pianoman Does Beethoven consists of five works by Ludwig
von Beethoven (26 minutes), the most popular of which is the "Moonlight
Sonata", but the "Minuet in G" and perhaps the "song" movement from Sonata
Pathetique will be readily recognized and enjoyed.

	"Notes on the Instrument", found on "Pianoman Goes Baroque", introduces
the PC as a legitimate musical instrument in its own right and demonstrates
Pianoman software to more music- than computer-oriented users.  "Notes on
Advanced Technique", on "Pianoman Does Beethoven", is a treatise for advanced
Pianoman users, and includes commentary on the works on the disk.

	These disks will be important and treasured additions to your software
library.
