Schubertian2 A rich, sparkling rendition of this Beethoven sonata. The video was an appropriate accompaniment; a beautiful package.

rsl12 I’ve just begun my first-ever (very simple) transcription so I’m super-impressed with your skill. Add to that your confident playing, and voice accompaniment - first-rate entertainment!

WieWaldi - Careless Love Blues - There's nothing like a nice slow blues piece as a laid back soundtrack for a late August heat wave here. Thank you for that! I enjoyed it.

lilypad

navindra - At Last - I'm so glad you got to share your music for this recital. I like to think the extra notes you added were those cool bluesy notes that bring Gershwin to mind.

Thank you for making the recitals here possible and, indeed, this whole friendly forum.

MarieJ

plop_symphony That’s an amazing pace you set for someone with your limited experience, and yet you still managed to bring out the different voices. Bravo!

MarieJ

rogerch I thoroughly enjoy your improvisations, Roger. They are invariably thoughtful, relaxed, and sensitively performed. ‘Edges' was no exception.

MarieJ

lilypad I can’t remember ever hearing this before. I thought it was lovely! (Don’t worry about a couple of minor mistakes: they didn’t detract from the overall performance and simply illustrated how very close it is to ‘polished’.)

MarieJ

Sophia You have every reason for celebrating your mere 18 months of learning piano! You played that SO well, fully capturing the wistful atmosphere of this piece.

Jane - Barcarolle - That was lovely! How exciting to go to piano camp and perform on that Steinway D. To my ears, you played really. To play so well in front of that size audience after a lengthy wait for your turn is a triumph! I'm glad you got to share it with us.

MarieJ

rach3master Video game music?? It’s right up there with the most complex and dramatic scores imaginable (transcribing it must have been a nightmare). And what a stunning performance on your magnificent Steinway D. Superb!

MarieJ

WieWaldi A most enjoyable classic Blues composition, played with just the right tempo and swing - what’s not to like? Applause!

MarieJ

navindra We have something in common - neither of us submitted the piece we’d originally planned. Your NV10 sounded great, as did your confident performance. Amazing how life tends to get in the way sometimes, I’m grateful that it didn’t prevent you from coping with all the work that comes from managing this on-line Recital. Thank you, Navindra!

MarieJ

Jane A treat for you to play that magnificent Steinway D, and an even bigger treat for us to share your sparkling live performance. Congratulations - a wonderful finale to PianoTell’s 5th Recital!

Hi Jane

I missed your late addition to the recital.
Very well played, especially in a pressure situation.

Cheers

Nightowl

Simonb Well played, you really got into the groove there! You have a very laid back style of playing and this piece was probably a welcome change after working on your exam pieces for months.

Thanks for your nice comment on my performance. Maybe after a few more decades of playing I'll be as confident as you when I press the red button. 🙂

keff love that song. Nice job!

rach3master Piece: Fleeting Words by Keiichi Okabe arr. by Sachiko Miyano

Absolutely incredible. Simply stunningly grandiose.

And the recording quality itself is beyond top-notch. So atmospheric even from the first notes. What a magnificent piano and setup.

Bravo!

👏👏👏

iternabe You play it so well and so easily I would have never guessed it required lots of work. Congratulations to you and your teacher!
