J.S.Bach Prelude in C Min: No. 2 from Six Preludes fur Anfanger auf dem Am Abend No. 2 from Stimmungsbilder, Op. 88 60s Swing No. 1 from Swinging Rhythms
Haven't been around too much lately I am afraid but I can hear the standard in the piano bar is getting better all the time, some super performances this month.
I recorded this song this morning, Gershwin's I Loves You Porgy, it's such a beautiful tune it more or less plays itself.

Glen - haunting and beautiful. Had a Ravel feel to it, but more human.

beechcraft - great Chopin. I know what you mean about having closure, it's a nice feeling. With this performance, you deserve it.

BillM - great rendition of one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. My mom played Billy Joel all the time when I was young. I was born in '75. I love this music and you perform it well.

Thank you, all, for such encouragement with one of the sections of my little composition experiment. I've got another section just about worked out.
It's been a very busy week, and I am glad to hear so much great music posted this month, again!
Amaruk~ nice transposition of BWV846. Very smooth. Look forward to more of your music. Welcome to the March Piano Bar!
Bill~ I never really related to the Monkeys for some reason, but your playing of that sweet ballad brings light to their music for me. Great work!
Elssa~ sweet introduction to Tchaikovsky's Concerto 1. Look forward to more of it. Same for Sleeping Beauty waltz - I am used to hearing it played as a duet and you did a great job of bringing your style to it.
Augustina~ Hua De Weixiao was quite nice. Creates wonderful images of a steady stream on a mountainside, birds passing by. You always bring such unique music to the fore.
Nick~ wonderful rendition of Chopin's A-min waltz. Such a beautiful piece with lots of little tricks to overcome - you did great with it.
Joe- I'd not heard this in a long time. I remember this from one of the Piano Bars when I first started participating here. It is a beautiful composition. You have a wonderful sense of creating moods with it and it is clear you gave it a great deal of thought. Excellent, excellent.
Larry~ You're cameo appearance! It's been so long since you've posted on the Piano Bar. I love your Ledwig van Zeppelinhoven! That was so enjoyable and I can see how you could keep going and going with that theme - what great fun!
Jazzpt- Fantastic Gershwin! I play at this piece, but you really play it, and so very well. Great changes and a wonderful, rich feel you express. This is one of your best!
I thought that I would go back to a song book I use to play out of when I was first learning how to play the piano. This is a fun song I use to play while my dad would sing:)
Excellent, Augustina! I have fond memories of Peter Paul and Mary singing it and how in elementary school we would sing it at our quarterly hootenannies. This was one of the tunes I used to learn to play the upright bass. Great playing! Glen
Thanks for posting your I Love's You Porgy. I've thought of tackling this for a while (an easier arrangement than yours). I'd be happy if mine came out half as lovely as yours. Enjoyed it a lot.

Elssa, wonderful performances as usual from you. I went to a concert last summer with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and always wanted to post a YouTube video from this concert, when they played the Sleeping Beauty Waltz. It was a public free concert, so I don't think I'm breaking any copyright laws. Here it is.
Elssa: Really nice on your pieces. I especially like the Sleeping Beauty Waltz. Augustina: Nicely done on both pieces. =) beechcraft: I always enjoy listening to that waltz. Thanks for sharing! Larry: Cool! Nice accordion! jazztpt: Very beautiful piece. Lovely playing. Inlanding: You are quite talented as a composer. Love listening to your music!
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
Hey, old friends. Sorry I haven't been here for a while. Here's a little accordion ditty I just for fun. I did it to silence someone who said "Too bad accordionists can't play Rock or Classical."
This is fun, I love listening to everyone's submissions! There is so much variety here.
For March, I have two versions of my favorite hymn, Holy Holy Holy. I play classical and jazz piano for the most part, but my true love has always been sacred music.
