Heres Brickmans "Sweet Dreams" by me on youtube on my new to me piano.

The tech came today and worked wonders on the key bushings (keyboard now feels like new) and did a glorious tuning also. I am pretty much over the moon right now!

congratulations, stephenc, lovely playing and very nice piano.

Great playing stephenc. The new piano sounds fantastic. It's really great to see video instead of just pictures. Congratulations !

thanks for watching and your comments sid and DeepElem! The audio isn't great at all (directly from my digital camera (made for photos with video an ancillary feature), but its certainly not terrible.

Anyway, heres another video, this time of the Chopin D flat nocturne.

ok, dude, you're starting to scare me...I think it's high time we kicked you out of the ABF, that was just too good stephenc.

Great playing, stephen! And I love the piano, it's alot like mine :-)

Playing is great and the piano sounds excellent too...

Very nice playing stephenc! You've definitely upped the ante - you'll have us all running out to buy video cameras so we won't feel left out posting mere recordings!

By the way, I thought the audio sounded better on the Chopin, perhaps the placement of the camera (and microphone) more at an angle to the piano helped? Not sure, at any rate, great playing!

Hi Stephenc

Wow...what a double treat to see you play and on your new baby too!!

great vids


MORE!!!

Very nice, Stephen! Lovely playing and the piano sounds great! Congratulations!

Both pieces sound beautiful! Congratulations on your purchase!

Wow, I am so impressed with your lightness of touch, it makes me feel like a banger. Ah well that is because I am a banger! But watching you really inspires me to lighten up. Thank you so much for the video, it is so educational to see other people play. Loved it. Happy

I think you have a new love, Stephen. Other people had better not expect you to do anything that will drag you away from this beauty.

Great music!

So happy for you, Stephen. The piano wouldn't sound half as good if it weren't for the player!

Wonderful,
Kathleen

Gorgeous. Wonderful instrument, beautiful tone, well played. Thank you Stephen, and congrats!

Great videos, Stephen -- and congrats on the new piano!

That was beautiful, Stephen! When you first started playing, I got feeling all excited that maybe this would FINALLY be a Brickman piece I could play, because it's not really all that fast, but the more I listened the more I realized it had the usual tricky rhythms that he loves to rely upon.

Great job, and very good-looking piano!

Great, Stephen. I am very impressed at how well you played under pressure, and the piano sounds beautiful.

Nancy

Well done Stephen, and the piano looks great!

I think you've just raised the bar on pictures from our new piano owners

Best,

Frank B.

Great Vid and playing. Congrats Stenphenc!

Thank you all so much for your delightful and very supportive comments.

The only reason I really record at all is for the guys and girls at PianoWorld, so let me say thanks for being such a great audience!

Seaside Lee - I just 'borrowed' (....permanently!) my mum's digital camera, so theres plenty more where that came from! You didn't even need ask!! Touchwood, I'm planning to video some more in the next few days or so, so crack open some popcorn and jaffa's in readiness!

right-ho...popcorn and jaffas at the ready!!

Lee

Well done, great job, sounds superb

Wow you play so very nicely! And the piano sounds great! Even in the video sound you can really get a good sense of how nice the bass sounds - congrats again on the new piano!

As promised!
