My (olde) performances - Oh to be le pianoman of yore :)

This really brings me back. I post it, not because I think it's particularly instructive, but just to encourage the newblars out there to give things a shot. I was playing this piece in under two years. Not to say I was playing it well, but there are some great things there, even though it's clearly beyond my range.

Enjoy:

Here's a song I with with one of my old piano students. She had to perform something a Halloween charity auction for UNICEF. So we wrote the words together, she chose the style. This is a demo tape I made for the professional singers who came in to sing the song (and by sing it I mean, maim it, but that's another story. We need to do tryouts next time).

Despite their efforts or lack thereof, this is a great song, I'm still proud of my little student.

Ok, so people asked to see an arrangement.

The chorus is a song my sister and I invented as we were touring France. These are some of the happiest memories of my life, walking around Paris harmonizing that chorus with her. So I wrote lyrics to accompany the chorus, recorded it with my dad in his friend's basement, and I gave it to her for Christmas.

I hope you like it:

Why you are posting a MIDI file ??

Wanna see you play it

Because it's my composition.

I agree, I'd like to play it too - alas I don't own a video camera. I'm going to see if I can borrow my mom's digital thing, it may have audio, we'll see.

Wow, that was A Great Composition Sounded like something that could have been in a videogame, rpg or something Cool!!

Have you learned to play it???

So, you have learnt hoe to play it
GREAT ..

Waiting for the performance as soon as possible

Correction to earlier post: I would like a camera to record myself playing something

Thanks so much! Uhh, I would have to make some modifications to play it, unfortunately - I could play it with two pianos and a good friend.

Hmm, I'll have to think who to recruit for that one.

Was it only me that think that Theme2 sounded like a waltz?
So can I use it in my wedding? ( joke ^_^ )

Bravo Victor - the title of the song is "Margarita's Waltz"

very nice! I'd also love to see a video of you playing if possible!

Another old example of "mon jeu" when I had been playing less than 2 years. Ahhh it's been a while... Chopin's waltz in C# minor.

Thanks Andrew - that's very kind of all of you for the compliments. When I have a chance to record "mon jeu" I will post it right away.

A few performances for you:

These are all me improvising on themes. Check out musical 1, musical 2, and musical 4. The rest aren't really as ready for sharing.

Also, for the Dawn one, I can't get the tempo right on that. I'll repost someday when I get that right.

Enjoy! Any feedback would be appreciated.

Another performance on youtube!
