It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
In addition to my usual school pieces, played Faure improvisation Op 84-5, Rentaro Taki’s 2 piano pieces ( one of the first European style music in Japan). I have scores but could not find way to post them here. So here’s the video. I thought about playing the first one for our local piano club but decided not to - it sounds scary, kind of ominous. I love the Faure piece.
FarmGirl,
Nice…. very nice music and a very different genre than I usually play….enjoy your playing.
🤦🏻♀️ You guys inspire me and make me land on my piano seat sooner than later in the day…then realizing that I am still a few miles from where you are 🤣. Carry on practicing.
Connecting your videos and other thread Farmgirl: very inspiring.
Today I saw on twitter the German organist Andrea playing a piece by Elizabeth Turner, a relatively unknown composer who lived quite briefly from 1730-1756.... I found the work on imslp.....lesson 6……dowloaded it and played… Elizabeth Turner, lesson 6 Fine music in kind of rococo-style…
As a true Baroque enthusiast I have been working on Fugues of Johann Albrechtsberger. For those who are interested, here is the link to some nice, typically baroque fugues, sometimes going on to Rococo. Take a look at the fugue C-major and the fugue D-minor..... Fuga’s of Johann Georg Albrechtsberger Who was he……? Wiki: Albrechtsberger
I'm still retraining my fingers and brain (I had unfortunately been away from the piano for about a decade due to various factors), so I needed to start over again with Alfred's All in One Adult course. But yesterday, I finally made Chatanooga Choo-Choo, the last piece in the first book, sound somewhat respectable. Still needs quite a bit of work though.
2 weeks ago took out an old Irving Berlin song that was recorded 2 years ago. Played it in a faster tempo, made a new recording the day before and submitted it to the PW recital. Blue skies smilin' at me. Nothin' but blue skies do I see.
Yesterday started working on another piece that was downloaded before Christmas arranged for easy piano. 78 bars total. Just starting the first 16 bars.
Today playing Gymnopédie #1 by Erik Satie. Downloaded an arrangement for easy piano before Christmas. Started to learn the full version which is in the same key with more notes written in.
