    The best present for a musician is music itself. Your students are very lucky.
    I like that piece.

  • @mostafa12890

    What’s that chord two measures before the end? It sounds lovely, but for some reason, I can’t imagine it even with the sheet music; all I see is an F major chord over an ~Fsus4 chord but that can’t be the source of this wonderful sound.

    • @kavenxiong5521
      @kavenxiong5521 3 месяца назад +9

      Played it out, it's actually an F major over an F# diminished. Usually that sound I classify as an F over F#.
      So the progression from the last arpeggio to the end goes:
      Eb > F / F# > Bb

      I've had several students over the years who have deeply connected to Einaudi's music on an emotional level, so I wouldn't like to knock his music because it would be knocking them. It really doesn't bother me at all even if someone passionately hates what I've written, the only person who matters is the person I wrote it for 😀
