More acoustic fun with @Danno858

All told, I monopolized @Danno858's piano for almost an hour on Friday.

I played through a number of pieces during that time, so they were WYSIWYG single takes that he was kind enough to record.
In addition to the Barcarolle that I already posted, these three weren't too rough (except for some stuttering in Clair de Lune) and show off different sounds of his "new" instrument.

Gorgeous playing - again! Your plau[ing is wonderful and I love @danno858 ’s piano! The bass is so luscious and I love the balance between bass and treble, just right! Also these three pierces are each gorgeous and wonderful music to play on such a nice instrument!

Consolation #3 is one of my favorites and you played it beautifully. Pardon the naive question, but is playing those low bass notes at the beginning with the RH standard? I don’t know that I’ve watched someone play it before.

ShiroKuro Thank you!

Yes, much fun to play that piano. I monopolized it and @danno858 's time for almost an hour last Friday and ran through a number of pieces. A few were too sloppy to post, but the three in this post and the somewhat rough Barcarolle I linked in a previous post didn't hurt my ears too much.

I started learning the Consolation last fall, shortly after my 77th birthday.
For me, the hardest thing is the quick left hand pinky jumps from the bass notes to the broken-chord pattern. It's hard to make them happen in time, softly, without accenting either the bass note, the note jumped to, or (in anticipation) the note jumped from.

Several videos show pros crossing over (apparently to help make the naked introduction smoother), so who am I not to fall in step? 🙂
Here's one example (but let's not compare my playing with his!) Note that he also does the cross-hands at 3:03.
(And what is he suddenly looking at at 3:10??)
