Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Jerome Kern & Otto Harbach

#med (Music.Every.Day)
Day 319 of my daily video posting project. I have been working on this project since November 2023--learning and posting a video of new piano music every day!
This video is "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" with music and lyrics by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach. This jazz arrangement can be found in Jazz Piano Solos: Late Night Jazz from Hal Leonard.
This is such a beautiful ballad! I love this piece and this arrangement. I first heard it when a cousin of mine came to visit and we took turns playing on the piano. I remember struggling through Fur Elise and she rattled off Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. It gave me a good lesson on the difference between playing for fun and playing for exams/competitions.
Tune in tomorrow for more of my #music.every.day experiment!
