My Piano and I

Well I wanted to get started with my day BUT I am inspired to write yet another long term blog. After this you guys probably won’t see a blog from me for a while. Because I do post quite a bit here now that I’m not on Facebook but anyhow….

A way to keep your brain from succumbing to entropy is to play the piano. A long lost hobby of mine that I dearly love. I will be posting videos of me playing it on YouTube and posting it here once I get back into it. Because I do want to show the world that I do have passions that I pursue that aren’t just about sexy handsome men. Although they are very high on my list. Lol.

So stay tuned for those videos. It will be a series of music pieces that I love to play on piano. I’m mainly into classical pieces right now because they are both challenging and melodic simultaneously. I don’t care anymore if you guys see what I look like. I’m tired of hiding myself. I have things to offer in my creative and inspiring arsenal.

My melodic piece of weaponry. I love it so much. One of the things I would grab if there was a fire threat. And excuse the mess. My teenage kitten has other ideas besides keeping order.

Nice, looking forward to it.

My mum played the piano, while my father played the violin.

I must admit, I fell in love with a Pianist once smitten

Great talent you have Mer applause
but take care with what you share here.
MMH, let's start a virtual band. You on keyboard, Track16 on guitar, phatdrummer on drums and I'll play bass guitar.

We need a lead singer and some backup vocals.

Volunteers?
My angelic voice could be available for the right price. angel
Ohhh I didn’t know there were other musicians here! cheering
Err that last comment was for Celtic. I thought I quoted her. Oopsy.
I’m just sitting here working waiting for customer orders to come in so I’ll post one of my favorite piano pieces. It’s from a video game believe it or not. The composition is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I’m not posting a person playing it because I want you guys to listen to the composition rather than look at the finger work. There’s so much expression in this piece.

Ah well then here is an old favourite from Schubert's Songs Without words - for piano and 'cello: Leise flehen meine Lieder. Below is a Liszt transcription for solo piano
Just listen to the two hands talk to and echo each other, it's as though the 'cello is still there!
I got back in from work. I listened to some of it earlier and recognized the tune then I tried to remember where I heard it from…I know what it is now so I’ll share it with you tomorrow. It’s from a movie I watched back in the 90s. But I’m so tired right now. I can’t muster up the strength. I’ll listen to it tomorrow and post the movie clip for you. First I’ll listen to it as a whole and then I’ll listen to it like you said and compare. Goodnight.
Fargo you’re sophisticated more than you know. Well maybe you do but you just can’t find anyone to match you!

Excellent choice. Yes I thought the cello was still there at some points. But it’s purely a pianist. Wow!

Here is the movie where this hymn is sung as promised. It’s sounds so wonderful sung too. I was sitting here going omg where have I heard that hymn? I looked at The Sound of Music’s soundtrack. Nope!

Perfect Harmony, 1991 The hymn starts at 4:00. The boys sing it so beautifully.

Mermaidhair, you're a lovely woman with such a lot going for you... Only a matter of time before you're snapped up by your Mr Right! heart wings

I pondered which song she might like based on her other posts.
This recent one is a traditional Easter hymn: The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.






I hope everyone enjoys this for Easter.








It's already 11pm.Good Friday, the fasting begins until sunrise Sunday.
@op at the risk of being boring, here is a voice and piano version sung in German by that wonderful Schubert lieder baritone - Fischer-Dieskau. German somehow transforms it. Almost all my remembered German comes from song lyrics! The voices of the young male choir are very pure.
@ MH

Glad to see you have a talent there. I play the guitar a bit. The title of your blog, reminded me of this:




(She had a keyboard too)....

So when will you start vlogging on the piano?laugh
I don’t know anymore. Life is getting busy again. That’s why I can never get around to practicing.
LCBR, I followed that link and listened to Tones & I.
From that I followed some concert videos and a few stories about her rise from busking and sleeping in her van.
Interesting... thanks!
thumbs up
LCBR. Sorry I didn’t respond. So many people are trying to talk to me all at once right now. Ack! The video scared me at first but she’s obviously highly talented. Thank you.
