I can't watch youtube anymore, for some weird reason. My browsers keep trying to convince me that I haven't allowed for javascripting OR that I do not have the newest flashplayer-thingy. But neither is the real problem :(

Good stuff, man. I'm a pianist myself, but I (reluctantly) dropped the classical training due to my coordination limitations. I can read it all perfectly well, but even after years of practice I couldn't pass a certain threshold of performance skills. I'm more of a music theory guy now, with as much improv/ad lib as I can perform, given said coordination limitations.

Oh, Fred, you don't mean that OPERA doesn't let you view youtube? Hmmm...I wonder if you've tried that other alternative browser... :wink:

Nice stuff, agree with Jerry. I used to know a little pianist long time ago teach by my grandma but that was in 1989. Right now i totally forgot how to play since its been years. its nice to hear classic musian pianist like Ray Charles and many others pianists. Seuluga could be the next famous pianist and et a painist record deal with musican company. :)

Read it again. I said 'browsers' :D As in 'plural'. No matter what I use, it's giving me what for. And I don't much care for what for...

Nice performance. Was the page turner your teacher?

How long have you been working on that particular piece? Was that recording a practice session or a recital? Sometimes I tape my daughter's practice sessions on violin because it helps when she's polishing a piece and readying it for a public performance. Is that what we saw here?

Wow that's some really nice fingerwork dude!

Like the others I too was a pianist... for about 4 years I took lessons and have been playing for almost 10 years... but I gave away playing for composing orchestral pieces, and so I am rusty as all hell.

But you, you are pretty darn good! I mean that! Very well paced and fluent fingerwork and great emotion in your expression.

Well done!

P.S. Yes I did listen to the whole thing. :wink:

Yup, my teacher. That was at class, 9:30 a.m. Me doesn't work at these early hours :(, but this class went much better than I expected, given I was half asleep. I learned that I can do these movies with my celphone so now I'm making them galore :D. I made some at home also, but there I have no page turner and I didn't play nearly as well, but I will make more, because at home I have a "dramatic light :D" and the sound is way way better.

Very enjoyable, SL. I'm a huge fan of classical music (especially Opera) deeply appreciate the wide variety of musical styles, composers and those who perform.
