I haven't played classical for a while, but was lured back to this piece when a friend asked me to teach her how to play it. I had no idea how beautiful it was until I attempted it myself. I hope, with this effort, I have done it at least some justice. |

The copy I have has bass, drums acoustic guitar, etc., but the piano is completely different than the version I play.

On a side note, it is kinda nice to "perform" in my robe and underwear.LOL |

I have thought it sounded really pretty, and I hope you do, too.
For lunch, I was going to have a footlong hot dog, but I changed my mind and had a chef salad instead, with jello, french fries and milk. |

I spent an afternoon transcribing this piece and making my own arrangement, then two evenings learning it and recording it. I'm not happy with the final recording (as always) but it was a good challenge, so I guess I'm happy with it after all. |

| 39 | | | Performer's name: | Piano Again | | From: | Washington, DC metro area | | Experience: | 47, minus a 25-year break in the middle. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Home page link: | http://www.mymusiclifeblog.blogspot.com/ | | Title of piece: | Prelude and Fugue in C sharp major, Well-Tempered Clavier Book I | | Composer: | J. S. Bach | | Duration: | 03:55 | | Source of music: | Sheet music (Kalmus edition) | | Instrument used: | Estonia 190 | | Recording method: | Zoom H4 wav file saved as mp3 in Audacity | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | Getting this to recordability had me tearing my hair out. I ended up splicing together the best prelude take with the best fugue take. It's still not how I'd hoped it would come out, but it was well worth trying. I have even more respect now for people who record anything longer than 4 minutes.
I followed the Kalmus edition's notes and did not use any of the possible variants from different manuscripts. Some pianists play a few things differently (notably Jeno Jando, on the Naxos collection). |

| 41 | | | Performer's name: | grotrianer | | From: | Germany | | Avatar: |  | | Experience: | Many years, on and off. Restarted playing in early 2008, restarted lessons in late 2008. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | La plus que lente | | Composer: | Claude Debussy | | Duration: | 03:44 | | Source of music: | Sheet music | | Instrument used: | Sauter Delta | | Recording method: | Zoom H4 | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | Debussy composed this Slow Waltz in 1910, which places it among his mature works for piano. The title, literally translated as "The more than slow", should not be mistaken for a tempo direction (Debussy's own interpretation is available on youtube, and it is faster than mine), but be interpreted as a way of saying "The Slow Waltz to outdo all others" (Frank Howes), which, combined with Debussy's statement that "it was written to suit the taste of ladies who take tea", makes clear the composer's ironical attitude towards this work. However, as Gerald Larner notes, "it is impossible to hear its hesitantly syncopated G flat major
main theme, its harmonic suspensions, its appassionato outcry in right-hand octaves, even its apparently aimless continuity and its drawn-out ending without detecting, and sharing, an affection for the object of his irony."
(Sources: wikipedia and http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/tw.asp?w=W12248)
---
This is often considered one of the less demanding piece of Debussy's, but there are a number of tricky spots that made my recording sessions a nightmare, given that I underestimated the task of bringing it to Red Dot Performance Level. The take that I chose has one disaster, a few glitches and insecurities and a bit of music in between. |

| 42 | | | Performer's name: | Andy Mann - Manndrew | | From: | Merowest - Massachusetts | | Experience: | Let's just say I've been playing since you could ride the entire metro Boston MBTA system for 25 cents. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | Time On My Hands | | Composer: | Vincent Youmans: Melody, Harold Adamson: Lyrics | | Duration: | 06:41 | | Source of music: | This was taken from a sheet music transcription of Keith Jarrett's performance at Carnegie Hall in 2005. | | Instrument used: | Roland FP-7 | | Recording method: | I used a Zoom H4 directly connected to the Roland Fp-7 and then normalized with Audacity. | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | Some of the standards played by Jarrett are surprisingly straight forward in their style. Here and there you do have his characteristic interpretations and flourishes which can be tricky - One of these runs I messed up on - and his rhythms are very tough to follow at times, but in general the standards collection can be played. I hope to do a few more in the future. |

I fall on the side of being a fan of his work. I love the repetitiveness, the chord progressions and also the occasional <crash> of a low octave!
This piece is taken from The Hours soundtrack. Originally recorded for piano and strings, the sheet music is for solo piano. |

I still have work to do, but it's gotten better from preparing for the recital. This is the 3rd Bach Invention I've tried, and I hope someday to do them all. |

| 47 | | | Performer's name: | John Frank | | From: | PA | | Experience: | 4 years (on Nov. 15th) | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | Leaves on the Seine | | Composer: | David Lanz | | Duration: | 05:10 | | Source of music: | Narada New Age Easy Piano Sampler (Hal Leonard, Pub.) | | Instrument used: | Yamaha Clavinova CVP-301 | | Recording method: | Digital to PC | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | David Lanz has been composing/playing very beautiful and exciting works of New Age or Contemporary Instrumental music since the 1980s, and is considered by many to be one of the acknowledged "masters of the genre".
"Leaves" is generally recognized as his second most popular and famous piece, right behind the awesome classic "Christofori's Dream" (see Mr Super_Hunky's submission in this Recital).
The version I play is somewhat simplified, although I don't know exactly how much. For one thing, David's version of the more complex "run" passages near the end seem to involve a series of alternating 16th notes, while this simplified version consists of 8th notes in that section. But, I hope it - both the simplified version and my playing of it - captures the essential beauty and heartfelt emotional essence of David's brilliant and gorgeous conception.
I very often modify or rearrange pieces to enhance them in one way or another. I have NOT done that with this arrangement - except to add the very last note, which simply "demanded" to be played (as notes sometimes do).
At over 5 minutes this is easily the longest piece I've ever recorded. It was a joy to study and is a joy to play, and it is played here from memory.
Enjoy! JF |

Tom Roed) | | Instrument used: | Kawai GE-30 | | Recording method: | Zoom H4 to Audacity | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | This recording is not perfect, but I am frustrated. I sat down to record another piece. I tried about 10 takes and something went wrong every time. Then I decided to go to this piece. I thought I had the recorder on and played a near perfect take. I said, "that's it!", got up, went to the Zoom, and it was on standby! This is the next take, and it's not as good, but it will do.
I haven't had lunch yet. but I'm thinking beef burrito smothered in queso. |

I hope you don't mind. That piece was very emotional for me, I recorded it as a part of my Valentine gift for my not-really a girlfriend. The story behind the piece (it's a background music from Suzuka) was quite sad and moving, as was the whole anime series. It quite well depicted my state of mind and heart back then - from one side, very passionate, and from the other, full of sorrow.
Even though it's not new, I hope you'll enjoy to this little piece.
Oh, and by the way, I had a plain cheese sandwich today :P |

| 54 | | | Performer's name: | MaryBee | | From: | Cleveland, OH | | Avatar: |  | | Experience: | I have played for 40 years, but just started taking lessons for the first time in January 2009. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | Reverie | | Composer: | Debussy | | Duration: | 04:53 | | Source of music: | sheet music | | Instrument used: | Charles Walter 1520 | | Recording method: | Tascam Digital Pocketstudio using built-in mic | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | I'm discovering the value of a good teacher (and lots of practice). Never would have even considered trying to play something like this a year ago. Kind of feel about this piece the same way I felt about my first baby - having put so much effort into it, I have now fallen in love with it, and I don't know how I'll ever do the same with another. |

30 years playing on and off. More off than on.
Currently taking piano lessons for the past two years | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | In The Groove | | Composer: | Mike Cornick | | Duration: | 01:04 | | Source of music: | ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) Grade 5 2009-2010 | | Instrument used: | Digital Piano - Kawai CE200 | | Recording method: | Digital to PC using Audacity | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | This piece was one of three pieces that I learned for my grade 5 exam which I took in April of this year. It is a jazzy piece composed by Mike Cornick who is a British music teacher and composer who composes in different genres such as pop, jazz, and classical.
As I had previously submitted this piece in a piano bar earlier this year, I wanted to submit another piece for this recital. However due to time constraints, I decided to submit this piece.
I liked this piece instantly when I first heard it and hope you will like it too.
Thanks for listening. |

Bach | | Duration: | 01:36 | | Source of music: | sheet music | | Instrument used: | Pramberger JP-208 | | Recording method: | Zoom H4 | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | One of the pieces when I first learned to play piano. Long before I touched any Liszt or Chopin.
I made 2 recordings of this piece. One I did not use any pedal and one I used pedal. The one without pedal sounds more like Bach but I like the one with pedal a bit better. This is the one with pedal.
Had pizza for lunch. |
