...a few more comments to end.
24. Rob — Sunday Morning
Very pretty with a wistful mood, flowing so naturally that it has a familiar quality (which was also said of the Beatles music, so you’re in good company!). I could definitely hear this as the theme music to a TV family drama.
26. Rubens @Josephine — Waltz Op.70 no.2
If I could play Chopin’s music this well I’d be playing it all the time. Beautifully played by both student and teacher.
27. Serge88 — Misty
Surely everyone who enjoys music from the Great American Songbook would have played this at some time or another - remarkable that Errol Garner didn’t turn out more popular tunes given how good it is. I like this arrangement and the way you play it but just one thought; here and there it sounds as though the melody is being swung a bit (slightly dotted) which I might have smoothed out to straight 1/8 notes - of course it’s a personal choice and your playing is enjoyable none-the-less.
28. twocats — Rustle of Spring
Raised a war-baby with the ‘wireless’ as the sole source of home entertainment and with some classical pieces having a prominent place in the popular music of the time, Rustle Of Spring was a piece I heard often enough for it to become familiar. Thanks for sparking an evocative childhood memory, your performance was beautiful,
29. navindra — Bluebird
This is a charming piece I’m sure I’ve heard before (a film?, TV show?). Some technical difficulties I suspect in the RH later in the piece but you dealt with them fearlessly. A really confident performance in such an extraordinary setting, great to listen to.
….and a thank-you to all who participated and especially Navindra for setting up the forum and this recital - an incentive to get off my a*** and put in some effort, a tonic for the jaded.
