Winter | Piano Improvisation

This gentle improvisation sounds like winter to me, although it could just be the weather and the short days.

The piano is a Steinway M. I recorded using an H1essentials recorder.

rogerch that is lovely, and so is the sound of the piano! Did you add any reverb or is that the sound right out of the recorder?

rogerch Although it is Summer, here in Australia, I had visions of watching snowflakes gently falling outside my window. Bravo!

Thanks twocats ! I didn't add any reverb. The only processing I did was normalizing in Audacity, which is how I get from 32-bit float to non-clipped 16 bit.

rogerch the piano sounds so good! Is it an older one? Some of those older Steinways and Mason & Hamlins really sing.

Thanks twocats! I love the way my piano sounds and feels!

My piano was made in 1951. 4 years ago I had a bunch of work done on it including restringing, new hammers/shanks/wippens, and refinishing. I’m very happy with how it turned out!
