Heeeeeey hope all is well with you guys and Happy New Year!!! What a classic piece by Satie, thoughtfully played, with lovely expression, both mysterious and emotional!! Am kicking off 2025 with lots of prep for my next two piano meet ups, "Lets Play the Piano", am going to play Borodin on the Yamaha and Albeniz on the Bluthner. I still can't believe the beautiful sound quality of the Yamaha Grand we have the opportunity to play on, it's a magic piano as far as I'm concerned!!! The second piece you play here, the Armstrong, is fascinating, a combo of a Satie-esque left hand and a real jazzy feel with the right hand!!! Thank you for sharing both these pieces, lovely playing 🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🙂🙂🙂🤗🤗
Hi Angela, thanks for commenting! Pianos... sometimes it reminds me of restaurants: you go to a new restaurant and have a great meal and really want to go back. When you do, it's never quite the same as the first time... not necessarily better or worse (though could be), but somehow different. With the piano it could be the weather, the acoustic, the tuning, how you personally feel, cold hands, cold feet, you name it... So I always tell myself that 'now' will never repeat itself exactly and I have to make the best of this 'nowness' (and not compare too much). Start the year with ItchyPhilosophy!
