Album Notes

Confessions is a piano solo, but uses quotes from the movie Amadeus. The track Beyond Abilities also uses a quote from that movie, "A young man trying to impress beyond his abilities. Too much spice, too, um... too many notes."

Additionally, the track Salieri Strikes Back is named after the character Salieri from the movie, and a reported real-life rival of Mozart.
