"Passacaglia" by Handel Halvorsen 🎹

I felt thankful for the rain when I was recording this piano piece. The area I live in has not had rain for months this Summer, and the drought contingency plan is in place at the moment. In the hope of recreating the rain sounds I heard as I played this classical piece, I added the gentle rain sounds in the background to this video. Enjoy! ☔️🌧

[@matihukinamateurpiano8980]

Hello,
I fell in love with this piece a short while ago and decided to try playing it. I fight every day to try and speed up the tempo even though I always like to play slowly and with emotion. Now that I watched your performance, I realized that emotion is much more important than speed in this piece, and you helped me stop fighting speed. Thank you for this and a most exciting performance! I will soon record my performance 🙂

[@rikaspianoroom]

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! Music is a type of art and I would say the most fulfilling performance is what feels right for you inside and what makes your heart content (unless of course if your goal is to win a competition). Enjoy practicing this beautiful piece and make it your own! 💙🎹

I enjoyed your playing. I have just listened to another version of this piece and I prefer your version as it is fractionally slower in tempo, a warmer piano tone and a more balanced piano sound, softer left hand arpeggios, and more distinct phrasing, all made for an enjoyable rendition. Thank you.

[@rikaspianoroom]

Thank you so much for your thorough observation and heartwarming feedback! I fell in love with this piece when I first heard it and decided to create my version of it. I truly appreciate genuinely kind feedback like yours. Have a relaxing MLK weekend and stay warm if you're in North America! ❄⛄

「渚のアデリーヌ」を思わせる曲調から、当初リチャード•クレイダーマンの作品と思い込んで聞いておりました。

PS:緩やかで落ち着いた素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。
