plop_symphony A Hermit Crab Surfing by Akira Miyoshi

I never tried to play something with crossed hand. If you do it, you make it look easy. Very well played. This piece has a very pronounced swing rhythm, I like it.

      Player1 Legend of Madrid by Nancy Faber

      I think you improved a lot with this piece. I am talking especially about your sense for the rhythm and timing. I think the notes after the page-turn are expected to be played sharper, louder, more staccato. That's it. Still, all in all you create a nice impression of a Zorro feeling with that piece. Well done!

        MarieJ I Giorni by Ludovico Einaudi

        Can't give any constructive feedback, so I'd be better quiet or I tell how lovely you played this Einaudi. In my opinion this sounds very much like the original, you imitate his playing style very well. And the length of this one without any mistake is very impressive, too. Also kudos to your very artisitic video editing. Amazing! It is nice to see how far self learners can get, givin me hope!
        Oh - one constructive technical feedback: Please hold the last note longer. Way longer, let it ring out until your piano is silent from alone. Or pedal it. You can cut down the total time a little bit with video editing software and do a fade out when the tone is already faint.

          You saved my day - at least ONE played a beginner Minuet. Thank you. Joking aside, this one was very solid. I don't know if playing those thrills that early is wasting time or not, but let's face it: One day you must learn them. Later this will take less time for sure, but this is the case with everything. Actually, I am happy you played the trills, as they sound georgeous. The entire piece sounds georgeous. Big respect to a 1yr self learner!

            rogerch You are just bursting with music aren't you? You just play one wonderful improv after another. This is a great one.

                Nightowl Well done. (I'd love to hear the lyrics) 🙂

                  Animisha A really pretty piece. Well done!! Great sound too. (the plants in front were a nice touch).

                    keff Nicely played. I really like the arrangement.

                        keff That was a haunting version of an old favourite. Bravo!

                        It took me back to a visit to the UK in 2019, when I played it on a pub piano in Oxfordshire.
                        The pub was is a place called Summertown, so the locals had adopted it as their theme tune.🙂
                        It was great hearing them sing " Summertown"!

                            @rogerch I always enjoy your improvisations, and this one was no exception!
                            It is always exciting to sit down to play, and hear your own music for the very first time.
                            I liked this one very much.

                              @Peyton Brilliant! It had a kind of East meets West vibe for me. You were really getting into it, and that came out in the performance. There is a great feeling of motion. i could hear this in a movie.

                              Rob We know Summertown quite well.

                                    This piece has the sound of a fairy tale, and you tell it beautifully!

                                          WieWaldi Thank you for the kind words. The mistakes I made were rhythm rather than notes.

                                                I didn’t know this song, and now thanks to you I’ve listened to Journey’s performance and to your interpretation of it, which I like even better than the original 🙂 Great playing, very dramatic!
