Ok Ludovico Einaudi fans, I'm looking for another EASY LE piece. Like to keep it to 3-4 pages tops. I Due Fiumi is in the books so to speak and Nefeli was too long and troublesome at my level.
So I'm looking for some recommendations for a doable rookie type piece...
Thanks
Mark

How about:
- Lontano - Limbo - Un mondo a parte (this IMO is a pretty piece)

[Rudely jumps back into the LE thread].
Mark, I just caught up on a few things here and I definitely would suggest keep plowing through Nefeli.
I can honestly say its my favorite piece now, possibly of all time. It's worth the work.

Hey Mark - I'm working on Stella del Mattino. I wouldn't call it easy (well, for me) but I think it's do-able even at my level. Plus, it's only 3 pages so I think I can stick it out if I find it tougher to get down as I go. I think it's a very pretty piece and I reallyreallyreally want to have it ready for the next recital. Been wanting to learn an Einaudi piece for a long time. If you can play I Due Fiumi, you can play this! YouTube Linky Tina

"Primavera" is also very easy; I'd put it in on the same level as Limbo or I due fiumi. But I think it's in the Devinire book, not the big Best Of book.
"I Giorni" is not hard either, and it's gorgeous. It's got a couple of big chords in the left hand I can't reach, but I just rearranged them.

Seeing as it's Halloween, here's a little trick or treat for you... I was browsing YouTube, and I came across a video for Le Onde that only got two stars. I was about to get all irate on Einaudi's behalf, when I watched it. It's "Le Onde" being played in the background, while some guy is singing Italian vocals (in what appears to be a completely unrelated melody) dubbed on top, and it's all set to a bunch of still photos of things like flowers, sailboats, and, er, a naked lady or two : Bizarre Le Onde clip Please tell me that isn't Ludovico singing... I gave it 1 star. :p

Ugh, that's was bizarre! I couldn't even bear to make it past 1 1/2 minutes! So weird to hear that voice coupled with such beautiful music - it just did not "go"! Sort of like dipping your chocolate chip cookies into ketchup. Blahhhhhh.......

S-H, V-8 is mad good!
As for the video, that was just really odd. I like it when the guy goes 'piano piano'. But I wasn't watching the video much, it was way too disturbing. Especially when he was singing about that zebra.

After being without my computer for a few days (turns out I had to have the $$$ logic board $$$ replaced, so thank goodness it was actually still under warranty - just barely!) I was going through all my iTunes and sheet music (organizing, cleaning up and BACKING up for once :rolleyes: ) and I came across a copy of Einaudi's Exit sheet music. I actually didn't remember having it, so I did a quick Google to see if I could find a recording or find which album it's on. Check out the very first page of my Google result, hehe p.s. - don't be stupid, stupid, STUPID like me and never back up your computer! (Or maybe I'm the only person who never does this!) I learned a very stressful and valuable lesson when my computer conked out and had to wait for days to see if I lost everything on my hard drive. I am soooo lucky not to have lost anything. Tina

Taking a guess, I think Exit is on Eden Roc? (okay,I'm being ultra-lazy and not even 'googling' first to check!) p.s. Go Monica! First result
