Hey guys,
I'm new to these forums (and Einaudi!) I know his work gets slated by a lot of people, but just because what he plays isn't particularly 'hard', it doesn't mean it isn't beautiful on the ears! Welcome to the forum, juniperjungle! Einaudi may get slated elsewhere but not here on AB forum, where you can see he has a large and loyal following. I enjoyed your videos! Look forward to hearing more from you.

Thanks!
I just saw your 'Nuvole Bianche' video....wow. Very impressed. I'm primarily a drummer, so it's good play some relaxing music for a change.

"The Best Of Ludovico Einaudi sheet music book at Amazon.com 175 pages of sheet music!"
I just purchased this from amazon. I'm going to attempt to play one of the easier pieces in this book.

Stuck way down on page 3? Bah I say! Here's some lovely footage (about 26 minutes of piano playing time in all) that was recently put up online... http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/index.html?v=641026Songs played are mostly from the new Nightbook album (Well, so new it'll be out in Jan in the US.) 1) Indaco 2) Nightbook 3) The Snow Prelude No. 15 4) Tu Sei 5) The Snow Prelude No. 2 A great little show and some great changes to some of the songs from what was on the actual album.

Wouldn't you have loved to be one of the audience members for that concert? Sitting right there on the stage? I enjoyed the subtle variations on "Indaco," which (drat) still remains too hard for me to play.

OK so does this HUGE 175pg book contain "La Nascita Delle Cose Segrete"? I mean it's not like my sheet music collection needs its own bookcase but having an 11x17 printer/scanner makes getting the pages I need easier now.. - SC

I enjoyed the subtle variations on "Indaco," which (drat) still remains too hard for me to play. I've already done the little tiny "concert" experience once, remember? Of course, that one wasn't in a great setting and had a somewhat laughable piano setup with a squeaky bench and all. I have to wonder what Mr. Einaudi thought of that bench...

Question regarding Exit From The Best Of > measure 13 > the B's in the LH
I purchased the mp3 to hold be over until I get the CD (Santa might bring it if I'm not on the naughty list).
When I listen to the recorded version, it sounds like the 2 B's in the LH in measure 13 are played an octave lower than written, for example, as they appear in measure 37.
I know many times the published score is not exactly as played, just wondering if anybody else was noticed (or can confirm) this or are my ears deceiving me?

The album version sounds like the lower b octave there. Of course, it is hard to say what the original book transcriptions were based on. Einaudi is known to make changes to pieces as he plays them.

Thanks!
Yeah, the mp3 I purchased which I believe is from Eden Roc has an ending ~ 1.5 minutes not written in my book. Sounds like happy closure, acceptance, or maybe a new beginning or life goes on or something.

Yeah, if my ear was halfway decent I'd attempt to learn that little bit that was added on.

btw, awesome job on your recital piece! Exit is definitely one of those pieces were dynamics and expression make or break it.

I can play Nefeli, Le Onde, I Due Fiumi and I Giorni Can you suggest interesting pieces to add to my repertoire? I like those that are a big strange, kind of complex, that have interesting dissonance. In other words I like the minimal better than the excessively pop melodic. If that makes sense :|

Wow, can't believe this thread fell all the way down to page9 on the forum..
Anyways, just a notice to say - does anyone here read/use Pianist magazine? Next month Ludovico will be the cover star - I think there is also an interview with him, and a transcription of one of the Snow Preludes. It goes on sale end of January here in the UK, not sure about the USA.

Whoa! I'm definitely going to buy that issue. Thanks for the heads up, Euan.
AnthonyB just told me that Einaudi is playing in San Francisco again on the middle of March. I already have two conflicts for that weekend so can't go, darn it. I hope he arranges more shows closer to the midwest.

If that makes sense :| Yikes, Motorama! I can't believe I missed your post. Sorry about that! How about "Giorni Dispari"? It definitely has a strange atmosphere to it. If you have the Una Mattina sheet music collection, then Una Mattina would be a great choice, as it's the most minimalist of Einaudi's recordings, and you could also tackle "Nuvole Bianche" from it, too.

Either way it is good for Einaudi. I think both of the Snow Preludes from Nightbook are pretty nice and they are nice stand alone pieces from the album which is why they were likely chosen.

I quickly checked and it's #2 which is being published. Looking forward to it! (although I should really just buy the whole book anyways)
