Oh, video? My favorite and maybe in like 10 years can play it.. :p

Great video, Thomandy! (I finally got to see it) I'll give it a go with a little special twist, if I can work it out in time.

Well I dont hold the true answer, but its what I have heard, that its unusual
It might be unusual even though you did it Then you have also done a unusual thing hehe
But yeah, I dont know, its as I say something I have been told and from the questions I get every day on youtube it seams beginners are always asking me how to play with both hands

Thanks That would be cool Hope you get it done in time, It would be cool to see your Response on youtube before the time runs out Looking forward to it

Fortunately, my "little special twist" was 100% cooperative and very motivated and excited to play this song!



It was incredibly awesome to make music with my son. He loved it. I loved it. Just awesome. Thomandy, thanks again for presenting the opportunity for me and my son to do this together. Awesome!

Next week he starts his first music class, which is geared for young childred his age (5). A parent is required to attend as well (I don't blame them for making it mandatory! ) So, I get to sit in on it too. Very cool. And they have a boat-load of acoustic pianos at this place. HEAVEN!!! I might just enjoy this more than my son!

He was (and is) very excited to start this class. This never would have happened had I not taken up piano as my new hobby. Very cool! Thanks to Andrew too!


And while I was at it, I recorded my own version of Thomandy's Prelude, but not as a submission for the competition:



yarrr!!!

Circledude! your kid is brilliant! got me laughing when he gave you five and ya'll hit the keys! =)
I bet he'll be pretty good in piano class!

Update:

I have just finished my first public piano performance, there where 10 people attending, and I did a pretty good job

I played for about one hour, and messed up only one time
I didn't manage to finish my Bach Invention No 8 after getting half way through hehe

But after that little miss, I did "perfectly" I did a couple of note mistakes, but nothing very noticeable! Also I managed to play relaxed, take my time and not rush even though my Maple Leaf Rag went pretty fast after a while... hehe

But yeah, It was a great experience, and the good thing was that I wasn't nervous at all** The only thing I feel I need to work on is to forget people around me, cause my mind sometimes drifted a little, also I was thinking a little before hard passages that; "Now, just don't mess up" - But I tried to not think that, instead think about how to make the music sound good instead and the "assignments" I had in front of me, and just trust that my movements would be correct now as well But still, I need to work a little on that

Very nice experience^^

Hey great news ..glad it went well for ya ..and hope the experience will grow for you as ...so will the audience ..PS mistakes are part of evolution to make us work hard and perfect and then make some more

Sounds fantastic thomas! good to hear!! and robin, you said that perfectly, so I will just go along with your wise words!!!
Speaking as a teacher: Keep up the good work, Thomas!!! hahahaha

Holy crap! You guys weren't kidding about exposure. The Prelude for 3 hands is now up to 1240 views!

Yeah, I think it at least will tip 3000 views, thats what I was hoping for when I heard Andrew was so nice to give 3 days I think I got about 10-20 views on my featured video a day, so that only a little drop compared, but hopefully its fun for you to get some extra hits

Arabesque - J.F. Burgmuller

Its one of my favorite 1min pieces, with a really cool sound to it
Its very basic in style, but still very good Shows that basic harmony can do the work if used correctly

I'm not 100% satisfied with the performance, but I hope and think you will like it still?

Hey thomas... do you and Circle have a burgmuller-contest going that us others havent heard about??

Good job with that one.

The part that gave me the most problem was the 32123 sequences on the left hand. I don't know why. Those are the 3 strongest fingers, but it always gave me a problem!

If you like the Arabesque, you should also look at "Progress" which is also nice by Burgmuller. I've got that one on the queue to record (in about 3 weeks).

really nice playing..

I actually had some minor issues with it as well, seams like I haven't challenged my 3,4, and 5th lefthand fingers enough, cause they didnt want to play the 5scale near the end when I starterd to learn it hehe
