Ok Ludovico Einaudi fans, I'm looking for another EASY LE piece. Like to keep it to 3-4 pages tops. I Due Fiumi is in the books so to speak and Nefeli was too long and troublesome at my level.

So I'm looking for some recommendations for a doable rookie type piece...

Thanks

Mark

How about:

- Lontano
- Limbo
- Un mondo a parte (this IMO is a pretty piece)

Thanks...I'll definitely check them out.

[Rudely jumps back into the LE thread].

Mark, I just caught up on a few things here and I definitely would suggest keep plowing through Nefeli.

I can honestly say its my favorite piece now, possibly of all time. It's worth the work.

It one of my favorites too, but the top of page two drove me nuts. That was a few months ago, so maybe I'll visit it again.

Hey Mark -

I'm working on Stella del Mattino. I wouldn't call it easy (well, for me) but I think it's do-able even at my level. Plus, it's only 3 pages so I think I can stick it out if I find it tougher to get down as I go. I think it's a very pretty piece and I reallyreallyreally want to have it ready for the next recital. Been wanting to learn an Einaudi piece for a long time. If you can play I Due Fiumi, you can play this! YouTube Linky

"Primavera" is also very easy; I'd put it in on the same level as Limbo or I due fiumi. But I think it's in the Devinire book, not the big Best Of book.

"I Giorni" is not hard either, and it's gorgeous. It's got a couple of big chords in the left hand I can't reach, but I just rearranged them.

I LIKE IT...I hope it's in my book. Must check it out, thanks!

Thanks, Monica...will check them out...

Seeing as it's Halloween, here's a little trick or treat for you...

I was browsing YouTube, and I came across a video for Le Onde that only got two stars. I was about to get all irate on Einaudi's behalf, when I watched it. It's "Le Onde" being played in the background, while some guy is singing Italian vocals (in what appears to be a completely unrelated melody) dubbed on top, and it's all set to a bunch of still photos of things like flowers, sailboats, and, er, a naked lady or two :

Bizarre Le Onde clip

Please tell me that isn't Ludovico singing...

I gave it 1 star. :p

Oh my the vid wasn;t too bad...but the singing?

Ugh, that's was bizarre! I couldn't even bear to make it past 1 1/2 minutes! So weird to hear that voice coupled with such beautiful music - it just did not "go"! Sort of like dipping your chocolate chip cookies into ketchup.
Blahhhhhh.......

Or having to drink V-8 everyday. I'd rather drink shrimp dip cocktail sauce .

S-H, V-8 is mad good!

As for the video, that was just really odd. I like it when the guy goes 'piano piano'. But I wasn't watching the video much, it was way too disturbing. Especially when he was singing about that zebra.

Tina

he was singing about a zebra?? I was too busy trying to tune out the guy singing!

After being without my computer for a few days (turns out I had to have the $$$ logic board $$$ replaced, so thank goodness it was actually still under warranty - just barely!) I was going through all my iTunes and sheet music (organizing, cleaning up and BACKING up for once :rolleyes: ) and I came across a copy of Einaudi's Exit sheet music. I actually didn't remember having it, so I did a quick Google to see if I could find a recording or find which album it's on. Check out the very first page of my Google result, hehe


p.s. - don't be stupid, stupid, STUPID like me and never back up your computer! (Or maybe I'm the only person who never does this!) I learned a very stressful and valuable lesson when my computer conked out and had to wait for days to see if I lost everything on my hard drive. I am soooo lucky not to have lost anything.

Tina

Taking a guess, I think Exit is on Eden Roc? (okay,I'm being ultra-lazy and not even 'googling' first to check!)

p.s. Go Monica! First result

Oh my. I wonder if I can put that down as "community service" on my merit review.

What a riot!
