It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
Prince Charles, did I hear a little Thelonias Monk influence? She has a very interesting style. My only criticism would be the vocalizing while playing... I realize that some pianists do this but frankly I think this is a habit that should be nipped in the bud... so to speak. also, and I hate to be picky, but I think the composition is a bit on the long side. I started to lose interest somewhere in the cadenza. But all in all... a great talent!
Here's the first part (Moderato) of Beethoven's Sonatina in G major. It's the best one of several tries, which (unfortunately) doesn't give me much credit :-) Hope that the second part will be better.
True Beginner - what an aptly named piece - I listened all the way thru making breakfast (yes, I know it's 9:45 am. I'm a night person - ) It was perfect. Beautiful.
The band is doing quite well, La Valse, and thanks for asking. We're becoming audacious enough to think about sending in an audition piece for a little Celtic festival in Wyoming this summer. Besides, we think a road trip would be fun

Perhaps "more music" is always the answer, no matter what the question might be! - Qwerty53
David - that was quite charming, and you make it look easy.
Well, my new year's "resolution" was to try to listen to more music, and the piano bar was obviously a fine way to start. I just don't know how you can be so productive, not to mention musical, at this time of the morning

I've been contemplating posting this piece in the bar or saving it as a backup in case my recital piece wasn't ready but I've been slacking a bit on working on the recital piece as much as I should so I think I'll force myself to get working.
Here's the first track from Ludovico Einaudi's newest album "Nightbook."
This piece is titled "In Principio" which ought to make it a good fit to be posted on the beginning of a new year.
In honor of Elvis Presley's 75th birthday next week my January Piano Bar submission is my interpretation of his classic All Shook Up from the early skinny Elvis era.
Whooo-eeeeH! That was great fun! I'd love to be able to do that for people to dance to. I think, however, that my voice is way too wimpy But it'd fit right in with my repertoire if I could. You just keep getting better and better -

LaValse: really pretty! TB: That was a pretty song as well. good job David: I think you played Beethoven well after only several tries! anthonyb: great job on Principio. Sounds very nice!:) Bill: That was great singing and playing! Prince Charles: Very cute! I'm sure she'll be a concert pianist one day!

I am currently uploading all of my written piano sheets onto my blog to make things easier. I also have written out a few more sheets. All free check it out if you want Any questions, PM me
Nice one Babama, never heard that song before. Which movie is it from ? (assuming its one of the ghibli movies.)
You really should giver Summer a go sometime, I hope I can sometime be able to play it. Probably one of his best pieces along with One Summer's Day IMO
Thanks. The piece is named after the movie which I haven't seen. I don't know anything else by Hisaishi yet, other than his music for Princess Mononoke. I'll check it out!
Studio Joe, Bill, I wrote this piece with the inspiration from Tatiana's "Fluttering Leaves" submission last month where the right hand is kinda following the left hand arpeggios.
Jotur, Thank you for your kind comment. But don't daydream while you make breakfast, you might burn yourself
David, I think you play it well and I like the dynamic of your right hand.
Anthony, I think the special thing about Einaudi music is he creates a mood rather than tells something thru his melody. And this piece is typically showing it and your playing conveyed its mood very well. Dark, mysterious night.
Bill, This is the first song from you that I haven't heard before, but you made Elvis proud.
Ladypayne, What a fun piece. I like the constrast between the jumpy quick right hand and the grave "sticky" left hand.
babama, I love all the Japanese movie musics I heard so far. They sound romantic and epic at the same time. I especially like the slow intro.
La Valse - it would appear that you're very close to being "there" (as you say) - well and expressively played (as we've come to expect) - thanks for sharing.
