I just tested myself against the metronome and can play Divenire, roughly, at 72. But that's the main part of the piece. The bridge part completely flies apart if I try to play it as fast as the rest, and it just doesn't sound good. I know you said much the same thing earlier. So now I'm guessing we're really supposed to slow down for it but for some reason the sheet music didn't get marked that way.

I'm not ready to record it, as there's too many places where I hesitate or miss a jump back to my little finger. But it's getting there.

kawaigirl1,

Your playing of "Divenire" is beautiful.

Kawaigirl,
Absolutely gorgeous, just listening to your 'Divenire'........again. You are such an inspiration.

Shey

kawaigirl,

You rock!!!

Txs to all for the wonderful comments. It's most encouraging.

Monica, did you try listening to Einaudi's recording to play that slower bridge section? That might help with the tempo. That was my method for learning that part.

I can't wait to hear Kawaigirls "divenire", all of her Einaudi pieces are just amazing. I don't have my speakers hooked up yet but this will give me some incentive; I know it will be worth the rumaging through the endless boxes.

Wow, I just listened to your recording...beautiful. Now if I could only play like that after all of my 2 weeks worth of training!

Keep up the great work!

To all the LE fans...

Its in his book and not crazy hard...

PS: I gave Monica a head start...:lol:

Enjoy, its very nice...

Mark

Except that I am sitting here at my desk when I really want to get to my piano and start learning this beautiful piece!

I am really grateful to Mark for pointing this piece out to me. It's not on the Echoes CD so I hadn't heard it before, but it's really really beautiful. I think about 100 of those "listens" on the YouTube clip are from me.

When it goes into the right hand, it really grabs you...an amazing piece...

Good find Mark, this is from I Giorni. I wonder how we all missed it, it's a nice sounding piece, very relaxing.

I Due Fiumi

I'm surprised you all haven't played this one yet. This is one I can "almost" play. A couple of spots can still trip me up, but this is one of the few I've been able to get all the way through!!

So.....this tells you this piece is easy and you all can probably learn it in less than a day!!

I almost submitted this as my recital piece!

OK rocky,

I think this is your chance to lead the pack

I'd love to hear you playing this so record and post already!

Yea Rocky, DO IT already!. (no peer pressure!).

This afternoon I was listening to that video over and over again when I had the blinding realization that I am not paid during the summer (I'm on a 9-month contract) and therefore I did not have to be at work.

So I packed up, went home, and started I Due Fiumi. It is surprisingly easy yet breathtakingly beautiful. I am hooked.

p.s. does anybody know the translation of the title?

I think I Due Fiumi translates to "The two Rivers"

This is a pretty piece and not too difficult to learn.

You do know its still spring right...:lol:

To think I had an effect on your work week...hahah

Well, the kids just went to bed so I reluctantly had to stop working on I Due Fiumi. I have pretty much all the notes down, but in looking at the score it's clear there's a lot of subtle dynamics and emotionality going on, so it will take a while to get it sounding its best.

p.s. to mark: yeah, it's still spring, but final grades were turned in last week so I am F-R-E-E until mid-August.

Well Monica, congrats on all your free time. I expect many more LE songs posted. And as for the kids sleeping, you need to get a nice digital piano with head phones...
