Rick, nice job on Rainbow. You have a good vocal range. Sounds like a real toughy to sing.

Dragon - Great work on that E-min prelude

Rickster - Fantastic - very entertaining, really enjoyed it.

Rickster, Riddler, Peyton, all. The piano is an original 1917 O Steinway - it is such a responsive and inspiring piano to play.

'Misty' noodling

C-min Blooze

Glen

Sweet!

Rickster - A nice performance of one of my favorite songs. Thanks for sharing.

Augustina- You are quite creative with your digital. This is an excellent and interesting rendition. I've seen River Dance the last couple of years when they came to Wolfe Trappe near where I live and enjoy this music very much.

Augustina - I got a kick out of your keyboard sounds. It reminded me of a little field organ/portable organ/pump organ I played Scandinavian music with (2 fiddlers did melodies). The sound didn't come out immediately as you pressed the keys. It also turned out to not be smart to use it on a slick wooden dance floor, because, well, as you pumped, it moved. Away from you. :\ So I was constantly trying to scoot my chair to keep up with it. We thought about tieing it to the chair leg, but finally brought in a small floor mat from the foyer of the building and put the organ and me on it. But it was amusing for awhile Any way, your piece was cute.

Good evening my dear friends!

Having too little time lately to spend at the piano, I only recorded 2 new songs this month, one of which I would like to play for you here (it is my farewell to the Fall season :

Stephen Heller. Fluttering Leaves.


Tatiana

First, I apologize for not watching or commenting on any of the other videos. I'm new to the site and still getting my bearings straight.

But I did stumble into this.

Just... Beautiful!

tatiana: Beautiful playing! I imagined a tree losing its last leaf and thinking sadly of the long cold winter ahead. You have a wonderful touch and tone for RCM grade 6. Are you taking the exams? If you are, you'll do well. Lovely hand and wrist movement as well.

Ben - do what you can with the time you have - we're not ogres here, much as we like to hear talk about ourselves But I don't usually make it around to commenting on every submission, either, because, well, I have other stuff going on!

There *is* a lot to PW, and - well, (scuffs shoes, looks furtively around) - it can be addicting :|

Cathy

Thanks for the warm welcome. Upon joining this forum I was fully expecting to get my meager fingers chomped off by some grizzly green ogres, but fortunately the only green I've seen so far has been the welcome mat.

This forum really has a friendly atmosphere. And, yes, it's addicting...

Sweet tune lovingly played - very nice Tatiana

I'm currently working on a Heller Prelude - from Hungary, he apparently had quite a career as both a concert pianist and rather prolific composer in the 19th century - he was a friend of Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Listz, etc.

Some people comment on some or many of the pieces submitted to the Piano Bars - and never or only occassionally submit one of their own.

Others submit one (or more) pieces and never or hardly ever comment on other pieces.

Others submit one or several pieces and comment on most or all other pieces.

It works just fine any way you choose to handle it.

But, in terms of "time management" it is only common sense that if you have time to submit a piece then it would only seem reasonable to assume that you also have time to comment on one or more other pieces - at least. And while this is not a duty or obligation it would be nice...especially if you would like others to take the time to comment on your's...

JF

Cathy I actually laughed when I read that:) interesting that the little field organ would actually move away from you^_^ Bill Thank you. we also played riverdance for marching band my last year in highschool, I loved it. I would love to see them live!
Tatiana.. you play beautiful:)

Tatiana - That was very beautiful piece. It is a joy to watch your hands. You are a very good player.

Thank you for sharing your music!

Glen

'Misty' noodling

Tatiana, you play so musically! Great job

Nice job, Tatiana! (As usual!:-)

I enjoyed listening!


And Glen.... your 1917 Steinway O sounds superb!

Excellent, Larry! The music you write is just as good in my view! (No disrespect to Chopin )

Keep up the great playing!

Rick
