David Nevue rocks. You can check him out at www.davidnevue.com I really like David Nevue also, and some of his pieces are easy enough for me to actually play, at least in my own way When I reach the place I'm going, I will surely know my way.

The piece is the second movement of Chopin's Second Piano Concerto. I agree that Geeks videos are awesome. Have a great day. Piano Technician/Tuner

Edit: actually, "fantastic" doesn't quite cut it. Jawdropping? Thats probably more like it http://www.flickriver.com/photos/euanzkamera/

I couldn't sleep because of my shoulder that's playing up and I was browsing the forum and listening to all this excellent stuff. When I went back to bed I thought: there was an orchestra on that Chopin, so it can't have been a nocturne :rolleyes: Chopin lover, that 'll teach me posting at 2:48 in the morning! I couldn't sleep because of my shoulder that's playing up and I was browsing the forum and listening to all this excellent stuff. When I went back to bed I thought: there was an orchestra on that Chopin, so it wasn't a nocturne. The bit below is about ALL the chopin I've ever been able to play, and I can't use my left hand at the moment! I don't even remember which nocturne it is, I had piano lessons when a teenager and all I ever did between lessons was struggle with the first page and a half of this nocturne my dad was working on. No wonder he stopped playing for my lessons... chopinsky by Pianoga\'s RH! This is the first bit of music I post on PW, I can hardly believe I managed to record it and upload it in less than 30 minutes! I'm on a roll!
