In July 2020, my grandmother was in quarantine with Covid. She had dementia and needed supervision, so I took care of her. My dad told me there was a piece of music her mother, my great grandmother, used to play, called "Fascination." I found this video and played it for my granny. She said her mom used to play it faster, but found the playing beautiful, and she started to tell me stories about her mom. Thank you for giving me this moment with my grandmother in the midst of such a hard time.
Jose, your playing this song ...... transports me. My father, now in heaven playing piano (I pray), used to play this very song. It brings a tear to my eye and yet a smile to my heart. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent and obvious love for music. God bless.
Transported me to an era where things were less complicated had value and people were gracious. It was wonderful coming home after my day's work. It was indeed lovely
MY AUNT KITTY......TAUGHT ME HOW TO WALTZ TO THIS SONG. I WAS 12 AND SHE WAS 60. SHE IS LONG GONE BUT I'LL REMEMBER HER EACH TIME I HEAR THIS MELODY. THE PIANIST IS BRILLIANT AND BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES.......THANK YOU.....
José, you are a magnificent pianist and this is a great choice of song! Those right hand passages are simply exquisite and your fingers float like feathers across those keys. Beautiful to watch! BRAVO! ~Jackie
Grandissimo! Fascination and Autumn Leaves are my favourite pieces. My mother played them exactly like this. Brings back beautiful memories of wonderful parents. Thank you.
José you are absolutely brilliant, I love the way you play the piano, and Fascination, simply fascinates me. Wish I could play the piano like you. May be in another reincarnation
Jose...absolutely beautyful..your have fingers & touch off a mestro..your style reminds me of Charlie Kunze..you are not good..brilliant is the word..could listen to you all day & knight...Hod bless you kind Sir..keep well..Warm wisges & huge musical Respect.John Tipperary Ireland.
Bellísima melodía y tud manos, prodigiosa. Ls repitivy lacrepito y no me canso. Me eleva el espíritu a sitios inimaginables,cde paz, y espiritualidad. De todo pianista, ninguno mejot. Fekucidades!🎀
I like your interpretation of this piece, Fascination, really love it! This piece reminds me of my mom and dad who both had passed away (in May 2013 and May 2017, respectively) due to sickness. They love this piece so much and I could still remember when they danced waltz at home, with the accompaniment of my daughter's interpretation in piano, both hummed this piece as they were enjoying their dance. This scene I could see in my mind so vividly that I couldn't help but miss them.
Simply Fantastic. The best among the best. His music embraces, transport you, to imaginable place of beauty and joy. He plays that Piano like no body else. It's like hearing a the complete orchestra, but in the hands of only 1 man. Incredible playing, the right song always.
Amazing! the best piano channel I have found, the chords, the flow was just PERFECT in every song, I've been listening all day long, thank you Jose M. Armenta.

I think it's safe to say that 99.9999% of the people watching this on youtube wasn't alive when this sing was made. Since it's original form was from 1905. But I k ow exactly what you mean. Exactly.
@@loueber I waltzed this with ex girlfriend under the spot light on the last day of school at the theatre, it was a beautiful night. Sigh the past was great
