Sonata Pathétique - II. Adagio cantabile - late intermediate piano piece
This famous piece by Ludwig van Beethoven is a great one for all students of classical repertoire to master. It's not too technically challenging, and it offers the opportunity to explore a rich expressiveness through dynamics and phrasing. This is the second, and least challenging, movement from the Pathétique.

It offers a nice challenge for the intermediate piano player. The left hand provides a nice introduction to stride technique. The right hand has beautifully intricate, but not too demanding, chromatic lines. The middle se...

[PIPPIN] Everything has its season Everything has its time Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme Cats fit on the windowsill Children fit in the snow Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go? Rivers belong where they can ramble Eagles belong where they can fly I've got to be where my spirit can run free Gotta find my corner of the sky Every man has his daydreams Every man has his goal People like the way dreams have of sticking to the soul Thunderclouds have their lightning Nightingales have their song And don't you see I want my life to be Something more than long... Rivers belong where they can ramble Eagles belong where they can fly I've got to be where my spirit can run free Gotta find my corner of the sky So many men seem destined To settle for something small But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all So don't ask where I'm going Just listen when I'm gone And far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn Rivers belong where they can ramble Eagles belong where they can fly Got to be where my spirit can run free Gotta find my corner Of the sky
Also! Could you post more of the music? I'm really curious about your take
I love this show too! Can you talk about the use of leitmotifs in the theme? How do these motifs represent different characters or themes within the show? What characters to you feel most present in this song?
How do you achieve such a clear balance between the cantabile melody and the pianissimo accompaniment? Could you give me some tips on how to practice this balance, especially in terms of dynamic contrast?
actual gold of a video, thank you
My pleasure! I'm glad you like it.

there were fourteen blocks between her place and mine i walked those blocks every single day i started feeling with each p-ssing sign that she was living too far away i got to her place and said, “we’ve been together a year wouldn’t it be g*nius if i lived, well, right here.” i got one of her priceless stares, but said “honey, haven’t you noticed there’s all this sp-ce between where i leave my house and i see your face all this sp-ce between when i buzzed your door and then we embrace.” i must’ve flashed my s-xy grin ‘cause next thing you know i am moving in with her yeah, this is her apartment and yeah, it’s filled with all her stuff but setting up and squeezing in, that’s my department so if i move her favorite chair, i can get my desk in there slide her sofa to the right so we won’t stub our toes at night mere our two apartments into one and we’ll feel like we’ve begun oh! so i rip the tape off this cardboard box and lay my claim on a dresser drawer i say goodbye to those fourteen blocks now just imagine what lies in store the city’d gotten me down but that’s ‘cause i should’ve known you really don’t want to do new york alone the best thing i ever did might be saying, “screw it!” and getting rid of the sp-ce between me and the girl i can’t get out of my head all the sp-ce between the moment we’re in and what’s lying ahead i’ve been waiting for something here but now i’m rushing toward the future and i’m leaping clear of the sp-ce between
Anyone can whistle, That's what they say- Easy. Anyone can whistle Any old day- Easy. It's all so simple: Relax, let go, let fly. So someone tell me why Can't I? I can dance a tango, I can read Greek- Easy. I can slay a dragon Any old week- Easy. What's hard is simple. What's natural comes hard. Maybe you could show me How to let go, Lower my guard, Learn to be free. Maybe if you whistle, Whistle for me. I can slay a dragon Any old week- Easy. What's hard is simple. What's natural comes hard. Maybe you could show me How to let go, Lower my guard, Learn to be free. Maybe if you whistle, Whistle for me.

Funny How'd I fail to see this little bed time tale was funny? I could cry to think of all the irony I've missed! What an unusual twist Right at the end of it Funny Who could see that this pathetic scene would be so funny Once you strain to find the grain of humor underneath Life double crosses with style Forcing you into a smile So it can kick you in the teeth Just desserts We can all laugh till it hurts At my expense I'm accustomed to working on "spec" I always pick up the check I think it's funny Who could top or make this comic op'ra more compelling You could weave in some deceit to even up the score You'd have us all on the floor That would be roaringly funny Sad enough my life's a joke that suffers in the telling Just another hoary chestnut from the bottom drawer I've heard so often before That I can't laugh anymore!

Hello there, awesome video! 😊 Which good electric 88-key piano with weighted keys would you recommend for a beginner/intermediate player? I was looking into Alesis Prestige as a bit cheaper variant and Yamaha P45 as a bit more expensive one. I really need some guidance on the topic before I make the purchase, so please -help! 😊
Thank you! That's a good question, and I feel it really depends on the specific needs and goals of the student. If cost is the primary concern, any full-sized, weighted-keys keyboard will do. We use low-end Williams keyboards at my school and they suffice, but the quality is admittedly low. I also have a Casio Privia which was fairly inexpensive and has a decent sound/feel. I also like the onboard speakers, quick start up time, and light weight-it's perfect for teaching class, doing quick rehearsals with singers, etc. (I don't think they make this particular model anymore, though.) If the student is serious about learning, wants higher quality/more functionality, and/or wants an instrument they can grow into, then I would consider spending a bit more and getting a nicer keyboard-the Nord Pianos have a great feel, Yamaha is a good brand too. At the end of the day, the best thing to do is go into a musical instrument retail store (e.g., Guitar Center, Sam Ash, Sweetwater, etc.) and try the keyboards out. The best way to find the right instrument is to get your hands on it.
@@vmavideos Thank you for the answer! I managed to increase my budget by a bit, did a bit of research and decided to go with the Roland FP-30X. Would you say that’s a good choice overall?
@@faaustad I haven't played this exact model, but Roland is a good company and I like their products. I think this'll be a great choice for a beginner/intermediate player. At some point, you'll probably end up like me with 8 or 9 keyboards in your possession. This is only the beginning. :D
The new cure for insomnia!
Sing me a Happy song about Robins in spring Sing me a happy song with a happy ending. Some cheerful rondelet about catching the ring Sing Happy Sing me a sonnett all about rolling in gold Some peppy melody about rainbows blending Nothing with phrases saying you're out in the cold Sing Happy Tell me tomorrow's gonna be peaches and cream Assure me clouds are lined with a silver lining Say how you've realized an impossible dream Sing me a happy song Play me a madrigal about trips to the moon Or some old ballad about two eyes shining It can't be loud enough or a moment too soon Sing Happy No need reminding me that it all fell apart I need no lyrics singing of stormy weather There's quite enough around me that's breaking my heart Sing Happy Give me a hallelujah and get up and shout Tell me the sun is shining around the corner Whoever's interested helping me out Please keep it happy. I'm only in the market for long loud laughter I'll let you serenade me till dawn comes along Just make it a happy Keep it a happy song.
