1. Player1 — Energico
Evenness of playing can be an issue for any level of playing and the standard advice is to take it slower but this is a promising performance of a not-so-easy piece.
2. rogerch — Improvisation 6
Pleasingly unpredictable yet contemplative and calming. I look forward to future improvs from you.
3. keff — A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
I was wondering if this is your own arrangement? I really like the changes and choice of chords you’ve used, quite a few surprises with some really tricky sounding extensions.
4. Sophia — Fascination
You play this with impeccable timing, uninterrupted even by a minor flub - an absolute must for developing your blues chops. Like other familiar tunes in this recital, yours gave me a nostalgic buzz - many thanks!
5. Sgisela — Joropo
This piece looks and sounds really challenging (for me, impossible!) and the dancers must be exhausted! Most impressed, thanks for playing.
6. pseudonym58 — Images (5) for orchestra
It comes as no surprise that the learning took longer than the writing which itself must have required a mountainous effort. I regret my sensibilities dulled after years of working in unchallenging music have left me, as a listener, unable to do full justice to your project but I’m none the less in awe.
7. Sam — Perpetual Motion #1
Ah, The Rope, I’ve watched it several times, possibly my favourite Hitchcock movie. I guess the thinking behind Hitchcock’s choice of music has gone with him to the grave but the character who is also the pianist in the film is the very reluctant conspirator in this murderous duo and the stark dissonance in the piece perhaps reflects his inner turmoil which builds to a white-knuckle climax. Enjoyed the piece and thanks to you I’ll have to watch the film again.
8. hebele — Downtown Abbey theme
I’ve not watched Downton Abbey but this is an attractive, unusual composition, played quite expressively - thanks for bringing it to the recital.
9. MarieJ — Week #7
That sounds beautiful, I don’t see how it could be improved, and the sometimes algorithmic quality of Pianoteq’s simulation sounds exactly right for this piece. Really enjoyed it.
10. plop_symphony — A Lincoln Tribute
Either I’ve heard this before or it’s in a style that seems familiar, reminding me of a fanfare. I love the open voicing of the chords and I thought your performance showed real flair and polish.
11. thepianoplayer416 — Air in D minor
Bravo! - a bright, solid performance, short (as was mine!) but sweet.
12. BicBic — Prelude in B flat minor - No.16 from Op.34
Excellent!, so vibrant and confident, I had no idea I liked Shostakovich. I wish I could play fast octaves like that!
