Simonb Well done, that was lovely!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Simon 🙂
WieWaldi Simba, you can be very proud of yourself and your can-opener
Simba thanks you, but what particularly impressed him is the fact that you recognize the finer nuances of the hierarchy in the Burns residence... can-opener indeed. He is a bit disappointed you failed to mention his subtle tail directing efforts throughout, it wasn't just the one chord he contributed!
rsl12 Did you slow down for "married men would have to take their beds and walk" for musical reasons or because of difficulty reasons? It's the only place you apply rubato--I would either keep the rhythm strict throughout or use more rubato in other places. Because it's only in that one place it's a little conspicuous
Thanks rsl! I had to listen to your singing again to know which part you were talking about 😃 I wasn't really aware I was doing it, so if it was for musical reasons, it would have been something my subconsciousness decided on all by itself. Definitely not deliberately singled that spot out. I think of the two options you mentioned, using more rubato in other places might be more effective than keeping the rhythm strict. That is definitely a tendency I have, so I might be better off trying to loosen up a bit... what do you think?
twocats I love the ease with which you're playing most of this piece!
Thanks so much! But I did cheat a little, in picking the most simplified version I could find. Quite the contrast with everyone else. So if it seemed easy, that was because basically it WAS easy (objectively, that is, because it was still a bit of an effort for me).
