That's great Monica. I'm so happy for you!

Don't worry, Monica I have started to learn Run the past saturday yey I'm so happy to hear me playing what I heard on the concert :3 It's awesome. And it will be, probably, the piece I'm gonna play on the June's Recital of my school.

That's awesome, Monica. I assure you you will not regret you've made that decision.

Excellent news Monica and yes it is worth it.

Last night's concert was amazing. I loved his last piano solo concert and enjoyed the section last night that was also solo piano, but the whole emsemble showcased his composition and storytelling skills in the most awesome way.
Opened with Waterways and was an emotional journey throughout. I loved Experience and Newton's Cradle and Life was just amazing live.

He is coming back to UK in November

Thankks for posting these photographs,I just recalled all these memory.its really amazing.

I saw this thread yesterday and wondered who this Ludovico Einaudi was. After watching Monika k play some really beautiful pieces I have put him in the memory files for a few years down the track when I might be able to consider attempting such music.
Looks like he doesn't intend to tour Australia soon or I would be there.

earlofmar, you ought to watch some of Einaudi's videos on YouTube to hear what the pieces are *really* supposed to sound like! Then you'll be even more enthralled.

But don't feel that you have to wait for "a few years' before tackling some of his music. If you peruse all 62 pages of this thread, you'll see that some of his pieces are very, very simple indeed (e.g., Exit, Limbo, Corale) and could probably be played well by somebody with only a couple of months of piano experience.

Thanks for the insight Monika K. I will think that over, for I qualify for some of those easy pieces with my grand total of six months of experience.

Yes, it was memorable

earlofmar,
I had never heard Einaudi before visiting this site. One day, I heard a great rendition of "Nuvole Bianche" by AnthonyB in the 19th ABF Recital (Aug 2010). That was my first contact with Einaudi.
I had started my adventure with the piano a few months before (Dec 2009), and I was still a little lost as to what I wanted to play. From that moment I had found my way.
As Monica says, there are simple pieces you can try. For example, I got to play "La nascita delle cose segrette" in my first recital ABF (nº 20), with less than one year of experience and it was a kind of challenge.
So, do not hesitate. Choose a piece, work, play, and enjoy.

Thank's CarlosCC for the index

I listened to your performance of "La nascita delle cose segrette" (recital ABF nº 20).....very very nice. Gives me something to strive for.

Thanks earlofmar,
You have an huge collection of Einaudi pieces in ABF Recital Index
It is worth investing a little time to listen to the (wonderful) pieces of people with many different skills. I think it is a good source of inspiration and can help you doing your (1st) choice.

I saw this on my Facebook feed from BBC Radio 3 and thought it might appeal to those who follow this thread. Einaudi is the special guess of the In Tune program this afternoon. Details here (and Radio 3 allows you to listen online up to a week after if you want):

In Tune


Shudder, I've just posted in this thread and I've even liked some of the Einaudi submissions to the ABF e-citals. What's happening to me?!

Thanks for sharing!

Btw, it's called Einauditis

It's on right now. I tuned the piano for Mr. E this afternoon. He's going on to perform in Manchester this evening. I was watching the stage crew get the stage ready - looks impressive.

You tuned for Einaudi?!? Was he there to try the piano out when you were done? Did he have any special requests/preferences?

Yes I tuned the piano for the radio broadcast, and my boss prepared/tuned the piano for the concert on the same evening.

No special requests, no problems reported, so he must've been happy!

This question may have been addressed, and I apologize if I missed it. But is there a list of the pieces by level of difficulty? Thank you.

On p51 of this thread there is a resumed discussion about a list in order of difficulty, with some rankings, so I suspect the original list or lists lie further buried in the thread.
