- One of my favorite songs composed by Lyle - what a masterpiece! If you know my channel you will realize that I have moved. I am happy to say that I now live in the most beautiful part of Germany (southeast, Bavaria, Tegernsee). I sold my acoustic piano as I plan to travel the world sooner or later and decided to try a keyboard (Kawai VPC1) to take with me. The audio in this video is from Synthogy's Ivory 3 - thanks for making this great software piano available for this and my future recordings, guys!
Unfortunately, the bird's-eye view camera wobbles during the tough passages - hopefully I'll find a solution for that soon. Still, I'm glad to have the opportunity to film from above. I hope you enjoy the transcription anyway.

The master would be smiling

Dear Uwe,
First I want to wish you all the best for your future enterprises.
As Lao Tse said "every journey starts with a single step". May your new path be prosperous.
And thank you for the wonderful music. Your interpretation of this piece is beautiful as always.
It is a joy to watch you play and listen to your music.
Thank you very much, Marcus! I'm confident it was a good decision. I feel the new environment is inspiring and good for my brain 😊
Incredible! Lyle Mays would be so proud. Thank you for keeping his music alive.
The most beautiful song ever written.
Oh boy. This is probably my all time favourite tune from Lyle. Being most into classical music back in the day, this is one of the pieces that opened my ears to the whole Jazz scene. Here it was all; Debussy, Ravel, Satie, Chopin, and a small touch of my native composer Grieg. All wrapped up in a heartfelt, hypnotic and modern jazz piece. You don't get closer to Lyle than this.
Again, thanks for your always exellent interpretations of Lyle's works. And good luck with your new steps in life.
Thank you very much, my Norwegian friend (did I ever mention that your country is my favorite - along with the western part of Canada?) - also for your good wishes 🙏🏻🎹
Lyle is alive...
That was perfectly played note for note. Bravo😊😊😊!!!
Listening to a new version of a song already stored in my brain, I can enjoy every sound, every touch of key, I know anew, completely fresh. A new tasty feast for the ears.
How exciting that you've moved. Glad you're happy with it and it's wonderful that you're looking forward to traveling more. The new keyboard is quite impressive. The view from above is a wonderful way to get a look at the intricacies of the piece as well as the immense talent of the player. This number elicits a beautiful ebb and flow of breath within the listener (this listener in particular). And the beginning scene of countryside and a steaming cup is perfect. Did I cover everything, haha? Always amazing to click on your posts. Thank you, again.
Thank you very much, Anne - seems you made my day (or my weekend 😁).
Hello Uwe, I'm not a Lyle's specialist, but listening to "Mirror of the heart", I stayed glued to my chair! Yamaha or Kawaii, your performance is masterful and conforts me in the fact that I am a privileged. I Can be proud to benefit from your valuable advices during your lessons.
Thanks for all🙏🎹 Rémy from France.
Salut, superbe, i was expecting for!
..excellent performance..fantastic interpretation..thank You for sharing
Speechless, Uwe... and that Steinway D sounds so pristine.
Absolutely gorgeous !
I really can't get used to the perfection of your interpretations and particularly those of Lyle's pieces. Each time my amazement is equal to my admiration. Thank you very much, also because this is one of my favorite pieces ever.
Too kind - thank you very much, Cesare 🙏🏻🎹
Oh my God! What to say... Just pure meditation... Wonderful interpretation from the hearth like always. Thanks.
I’m just stunned at how you’ve captured his touch and phrasing…two of a kind.
One of my favorite things Lyle wrote.
Congratulations on your new home! .... but I'm a bit sorry not to see your acoustic piano anymore...😉
Thank you, Stefania - and yes, I miss my acoustic baby grand, too - of course... 🙄
your performances of Lyle's music always manage to excite me and make me cry
GREAT!!!
Good 4 U, never heard this song before, and yes, LYLE LIVES some Bill Evans (electric at least) there too.
Good Fortune on your projects
Your channel aside from John Barry, Moviola CD is the only thing I can play at my kitchen at 4:30 am, (alcohol makes one wake very early and alert) IM an MD, as I cook some Fritatta for breakfast.or Mexican breakfast, 80% of the time is you Im listening
You Are a Master at your Craft.!!!!
Best Wishes
Sorry: for suggesting but maybe an Homage to Oscar Peterson's composition "Hymn to Freedom" or any Ellington, smooth ones are best.
Thanks for so many early mornings being my quiet but exquisite companion
Lots of Health
This Lyle Mays masterpiece deserves an brilliant interpretation like yours. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I have listened to this track so many times over the years, and if I heard this without knowing, I would have said it was Lyle. The transcription is note-perfect and you've captured the intention in the music SO well, from the dynamics to the tempi. It's actually scary.
So impressed. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much - really appreciated! 🙏🏻
Beautiful poetry
... Danke lieber Uwe... ❣️ Mit Dir als 'companion' kann Lyle uns immer wieder nah sein... Liebe Grüsse aus Kreta... 🤗💞💪
Freut mich, Cordula - lieben Dank für den netten Kommentar 😊🙏🏻🎹
New piano with the new house? I still enjoy your music very much, but I missed the sound of the Grand piano though….
Congratulations on the new house…👍
Absolutely captivating
Amazing Uwe. Such a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, lieber Uwe, das haut mich um. Ich fühl mich in meine Kindheit mit Pat/ Lyles Musik zurückversetzt... habe den Song sooo oft gehört (im Elternhaus abends im Bett liegend mit Kopfhörern auf, alles ganz dunkel... dann kamen mit den Harmonien die Bilder in den Kopf). Das alles ist voller Lyle´s Spirit, ein wenig á la Uwe Karcher - aber hier vollkommen gerechtfertigt. Wusste Lyle, dass Du seine songs transkribierst bzw. habt Ihr Euch mal getroffen? Ich vermute, er hätte Luftsprünge gemacht wie er es bei Pierre Piscitelli getan hat... Fantastisch gespielt. Wünschte wir wären Nachbarn. Mit einem großen melancholischen Kloß im Hals und voller Respekt: Danke.
vielen Dank für den überaus netten Kommentar, Thomas! Leider hatte ich nie Kontakt zu Lyle - vielleicht hätte es sich ergeben, wenn er nicht so früh von uns gegangen wäre...
Beautiful tune Uwe. To my untrained ear, sound quality is even better than the Yamaha acoustic.
Thank you, mate! The Synthogy guys will be glad to hear that 😊
@@ukaykeys Man, It sounds really good! How does the action compare to the Yamaha? Do you have to get really high end speakers or headphones to get similar sound quality to the grand?
No matter where you'll be, no matter on witch instrument you'll play, you remain my 'golden pond'. Merci pour la musique, pour sa sublime beauté et pour être un superbe repère musical.......Bernard
New house, but same great pianist playing great tune with heart to feed my soul. Thank you sir.
You choose some of the most beautiful songs and your arrangements and execution are magnificent! I look forward to many more thoughout and after your move!
What a beautiful transcription and performance, Uwe! Thank you for once again sharing your remarkable talent with us. Congrats on stepping into the world of high-end MIDI keyboards and piano VST's. You made a wise choice with the Kawai VPC-1 and the Synthogy Ivory 3 - they are a fabulous combination. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much, Corte! And yes, it is fascinating what's possible these days - you can make convincing sounding piano recordings with light weight equipment (well, the Kawai still weighs 30 kg - but compared with the 300+ of the Yamaha... 😅)
That was lovely. Thank you.
And you do him the honor of a beautifully played rendition.
Hi Uwe,
Thank you.
Your playing is always inspiring i have all my favourite tunes that you have played, On Golden Pond still my go to song.
Hey nice sound but miss looking at your mini grand, love mine won't give it up.
Great posts Perth WA
Wow! What a brilliant rendition of my favorite solo piano piece of all time. The first time I heard this song I thought for sure that it was two pianos but later was shown that it was indeed just one. If there was any piece of music I wish I could master it is this one, unfortunately this is WAY beyond my capabilities. Listening to you with eyes closed I would think it was Lyle, well done!
Wonderful! Fantastically played!
Once again, playing straight from the heart!❤ I love this!🤗
Love your work. Beautiful as always.
Fantastic as always , but Im missing the acoustic piano The depth of sound is missing on the keyboard, almost strident at times. Always wishing you the best and understand why you needed to do that. Thats the beauty of you tube. Can always revisit the songs
So wonderful, wow!!!
Sounds really great, Uwe. I was wondering when you were going to do this one.
Absolutely beautiful, Uwe! Cannot thank you enough for posting my all-time favorite piano solo, ever since it came out decades ago. I'm taken by how you captured EVERY delicate nuance of Lyle's original recording. Now it's time for me to start working it out on the piano, as well.
God bless you!
Thanks so much, Jerry!
BRAVO
Hallo Uwe, sehr schöner Klang. Danke nochmal für 10 Jahre Unterricht. Es war eine wunderbare Zeit mit Dir. Liebe Grüße aus Essen und alles Gute Max
Danke, lieber Max! Ich hoffe, du spielst noch regelmäßig 😉🎹
Natürlich, alles weitere E-Mail
Perfetta!
Magnifique !
Danke für dieses Meisterwerk! Er lächelt von oben…
Amazing!!!!!
Absolutely joyous. Thank you.
Bravo, Uwe Karcher! And, thank you!) #LyleMays #MirrorOfTheHeart
simply beautiful...
Beautiful! Hope you still have your acoustic grand.
Thank you! I sold my acoustic piano as I plan to travel the world sooner or later and decided to try a keyboard (Kawai VPC1) to take with me.
Simply stunning as usual. I love the sound of the new instrument! as you know, I have purchased some of your transcriptions. However, I do much better by watching rather than reading music. Would love to see overhead through the whole video, and even better would be software that lights up the key that you were actually pressing. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which keys are actually going down. I would pay extra for that! Congrats on the new casa.
thank you, Jonathan! Since my videos are no tutorials, I won't use the overhead view exclusively - I want to keep my videos more interesting with different views...
Wonderful, thanks.
I miss the sound of that grand piano
Me too 🙄
Hello Uwe! congratulations for the move, i watched your videos years ago and it seemed strange to me saw you in the new room 😂. Thanks for the music by Lyle and Pat, it's always a pleasure to listen to you. I look forward to more videos. Saludos desde argentina
Muchas gracias, Juan - more Lyle & Pat to come 😊🎹
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us mortals 🤩
😅
Keyboard sounds amazing plus you have more headroom! Bravo Ukay.
Servus…
wo ist der schöne Jamaha-Flügel😢😢
Ein Künstler mit deinem Outstanding musikalischen Niveau hat da einen Flügel verdient👍🙏👍
Natürlich sind die Flügelsamples mittlerweile sehr gut…aber gerade für Jazzpiano ist der Jahama einfach klasse.
Wie dem auch sei…Du bist ein Wahnsinns Musiker….
Ich liebe und spiele auch Jazz….
….und bin ein großer Fan von dir….
Liebe Grüße aus München
Adrian
Servus Uwe….Asche über mein Haupt….Beschreibung net gescheit gelesen😱😱
Wohne ja in München und bin auch oft an Tegernsee…
München hat auch schöne Jazzlocations…..Jazzclub Unterfahrt…Nightclub Bayerischer Hof……
Ein Solokonzert mit dir lässt sich bestimmt arrangieren😘👏👍
Wie in meiner Beschreibung oben erwähnt, wird sich mein Leben in Zukunft eher "on the road" abspielen. Das geht natürlich nur mit portablem Equipment...
Glasklarer Klang! Glückwunsch zum neuen Instrument!
beautiful as always, Uwe.
Awesomeness ❤
Hello Uwe, thanks for this wonderful piece of music, your new piano sound fantastic. What's also sound exciting is your new projects, I wish you the best but promise me to stay with us while you explore the world. I would add that your recording and the sound of your piano is better than the original.
Thank you very much, Eric! Of course I will continue making music also on the road - it's my life 😊
Was für ein fantastisches Stück, und wie immer so eine tolle Interpretation! Großartig! Alles Gute im neuen zuhause - nun spielst du wie ich auf einem Kawai VPC1, gute Wahl. Ich habe zu Beginn des Jahres das Hybrid von Kawai NV 10 S ausprobiert: Hat eine richtige Flügeltastaturdie, welche in einem analogen Flügel verbaut ist. Besser geht es nicht! Leider musste ich es retournieren, da es defekt war. LG, Detlef
Hallo Detlef, irgendwie ist dein Kommentar an mir vorbeigegangen... vielen Dank für die guten Wünsche! Welche Software benützt du denn für den VPC1? LG Uwe 🎹
Maestro, can you perform Higland Aire. You performances are beautiful
Thank you - the tune is on my list! It could happen in late 2024 😁
Excelente Like
Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Glück und Zufriedenheit an Ihrem neuen Wohnort. Ihr Klavierspiel ist phantastisch, die Klavierstücke von Lyle Mays gefallen mir sehr. Etwas schade finde ich den Verkauf Ihres Flügels, denn er klang einzigartig gut. Bei Ihrem neuen E-Piano gibt es am Klang nichts auszusetzen, er ist sehr gut, kommt aber an den außergwöhnlich guten Klang des Flügels leider nicht ran.
Vielen Dank! Der E-Pianosound ist übrigens noch nicht ausgereizt; muss mich mit den Klangmöglichkeiten noch etwas beschäftigen... Ein (guter) akustischer Flügel wird die Nase aber wohl noch auf längere Sicht vorne haben, wobei ich sicher bin, dass man eines Tages nicht mehr sagen können wird, ob es sich bei einer Aufnahme um einen akustischen oder digitalen Flügel handelt...
Excelente Uwe!!!!!!!
nice one sir 👍
Ein wunderbares Stück, alles Gute für den Start am Tegernsee. Tolle Pläne, dennoch schade um den tollen Yamaha Flügel - ich werd ihn vermissen
Danke Johannes! Ich hoffe, es geht dir gut und du bist noch fleißig am Spielen 😊🎹
i recently came across your videos. Super, great transcriptions, educational and very nice to hear. I have a question about your equipment. I noticed that you play in this video on the Kawai VPC1. I never played one, how is it as an alternative for a real piano. And what VST piano do we hear...?
Thank you! The answer to your question is in the video transcription 😉
Did you try the Ivory II? It's a little outdated but the American Concert Grand preset sounds more natural to me. Ivory + VPC1 is the best possible digital setup. Congratulations!
Ivory II (especially the American Concert Grand) sounds warmer and has more "body", but a significant lack of brilliance. A combination of Ivory II & 3 would be the next big step...
Having listened to this piece played by Lyle many times over the years, (via various recordings….not live), I was excited to see your new rendition pop up. My first thought, of course, was your beautiful performance, (as usual). A close second thought was what an incredible job you did again, (as usual), of transcribing seemingly ALL of this piece's intricate and subtle nuances. My third thought was wondering how many times you had to listen to Lyle playing it to transcribe all those subtle nuances. Really quite a feat.
I don’t know if you have ever seen this relatively obscure 1993 video of Lyle playing, ( ruclips.net/video/uL30-iQ8oPk/видео.html ), but it would be interesting to see what you could do transcribing and playing this piece. I have seen Lyle play live many times both with and without the PMG and in this performance, I think I might have PERHAPS seen Lyles hands struggling just a teeny-tiny bit to keep up with his huge musical brain (@ 7:20). 😉😅
The video is of extremely poor quality, but Lyles's playing is anything but. His solo between 3:10 and 7:50 is really something IMHO.
Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to transcribe, play and post this piece.
Dear Chip, thanks for this nice comment! Concerning "Corinho", it's a stunning tune, but I'm not sure if it will work without the drive of the drums. I think after the solo intro it needs the additional power of the band to keep the suspense...
Hi Uwe, are we talking about the same piece? I am familiar with very familiar with Chrorinho and it sounds nothing like the tune I thought I sent which is titled as, (on RUclips at least), Lyle Mays - Warsaw 1993 - part c. I clicked on the link I provided you above and it took me to that piece, but again, it sounds like a completely different tune to me. Boy, if that tune is Chrorinho, (only titled something different on RUclips), then I am seriously musically deficient, (likely). I thought it might not be something you'd transcribe, but if you hadn't seen/heard it, I thought you'd enjoy it. Thanks for your reply.
@@chipmochel9662 Yes, Chip - we are talking about the Warsaw 93 video - it is "Chorinho", and it's a mesmerizing version! I have the complete boot of the show, but never saw the video - thanks for the hint 👍🏻
pięknie
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hallo Uwe, Gratulation zu Deinen Arrangements und Deinem Spiel. Super. Zwei kurze Fragen zum Equipment: 1. ich hatte auch mal das VCP1, aber wegen sehr lauten Tastaturgeräuschen zurückgegeben. Ist das bei Dir nicht so ( vermutlich nicht, sonst würdest du nicht drauf spielen 🙂 2. Welche Monitore hast du ? Arbeite auch mit Ivory, aber klingt über Boxen nicht so toll. Danke, wenn Du mir kurz weiterhelfen kannst. Jürgen
Hi Jürgen, das VPC1 macht keine Probleme, bin sehr zufrieden damit. Ich habe TANNOY Aktivmonitore, die ich dir eher nicht empfehlen würde - der Ivory3 klingt doch ziemlich blechern. Für Synths, Bass & Drums sind sie gut geeignet.
Bravo
I sent you an email about the transcription
Super uwe! Bist du zufrieden mit dem vpc 1 ?
Danke, Jonas - und ja, das Spielgefühl auf dem VPC1 ist schon beeindruckend! 👍🏻
Hello Uwe, this is really a masterpiece again from you. Lyle was such an amaizing musician, and you breathe and play his spirit!
For me, the sound is not as good as your former yamaha grand piano, even in the middle section.
Tegernsee, of course, is one of the best places to live in germany. It's not far from me...do you offer piano lessons in presence in Tegernsee? Greetz, Ansgar
Thank you, Ansgar! My Baby Grand sounded better, of course - but it is no solution for the road. Vanlife will come in the future years, so now I'm prepared 😉
And yes, I'm offering lessons in presence in Rottach-Egern, Tegernsee 😊
❤verdensklasse! Blir det snart konsert i Norge?
Texas først.
Thank you! But I don't play concerts anymore. I'm more interested in learning new tunes 😊
Great stuff as always uwe,was wondering what keyboard your using and piano sound?
Hi Robert, it is written in the description above - the keyboard is the Kawai VPC1. The audio in this video is from Synthogy's Ivory 3. Thanks for watching 😊
@@ukaykeys great,thx for letting me know.
I should really have you come over to Africa
😊
Hi Uwe,
Which computer do you use to play with Ivory 3 ?
Is-it your Mac we can see on your Kawai keyboard ?
How much RAM and how big is your SSD ?
Thank you in advance for your answer !
Salut Olivier, I'm using a MacBook Pro M1 with 16GB RAM and a 2TB SSD...
Say nothing about the surprising visual aspect, the musical aspect is, as always, incredible. Great interpretation and performance! I do miss the sound of the grand. Did you part ways with it or is this an interim setup?
Thanks, mate! I sold the Baby Grand to be more independent in traveling. For this purpose I'm happy with the current solution 😉
@@ukaykeys It helps to read the video description. (Duh!) I wish you all the best in life at your new location. Sounds like it's only you (no need to comment). I always pictured you with the red-head in the On Golden Pond video (Tati?) Anyway, all the best to you. Have a great summer!
@@tex24 the red-head is still with me (thank God 😊). We will celebrate our 25th marriage day in July (we call it "Silver wedding" here in Germany). Thanks for asking - Tati will be pleased to hear it 😁
@@ukaykeys It's always nice when you get a response to a YT video comment. This is the best response this year! So happy for you and Tati! Congrats on your sølvbryllup (google translate it).
Where do I find the transciption?
Where is your grand piano??
I sold it before I moved.
@@ukaykeys Sad to hear that. I really like your performance in playing Ennio Morricone music.
🤙🙏
C’est très beau, comme tout Lyle Mays et vis interpretations mais… n était-ce pas mieux encore sur un 1-4 de queue Mecanique ?
Merci - mais qu'est-ce qu'un 1-4 de file mécanique ?
@@ukaykeys Stan parle de votre ancien piano Yamaha acoustique. Même si la prise de son actuelle est excellente il est vrai qu'un clavier électrique ne rivalise pas avec la vibration et chaleur produits par de vraies cordes d'un grand piano acoustique.
@@franciscluster D'accord 😊👍🏻
Different piano; same amazing quality.
RUclips?怎麼回事一堆廣告吵死了，還有不要暫停音樂好嗎？什麼智障設定？我放音樂就是不要停啊！笑死了
