It's somber at times, yet passionate. It takes me back to a time and place I can only imagine existed, perhaps a romantic lounge in Italy or France, around the turn of the last century. I know what i'll be trying to learn next :3

A splendid performance! There are no "hammerfists" here -- a beautiful, sensitive touch to the work that Victor Borge jokingly referred to as "Clear the Saloon." The title translates to "moonlight," and you have given a delightful, sweet, well-studied but in no way "clinical" presentation. When I still had a piano to work on, I began learning this piece, and my technical performance was (shall we say) lacking. You're very, very good! I may tease you by suggesting that you aspire to Liszt's "Un Sospiro," a piece which Borge played "straight" (without comedy) most brilliantly. Another challenge, both technical and artistic.

My Dear Lion ... let no one try to beard you about your talent ever again. They are fools, unworthy of your merest attention! Encore! Encore!

I've heard quite the few renditions of Suite Bergamasque, and I must say that I liked your playing. I see others commenting the images it conjures up. Personally, I just...imagine your hands on the keys, and find myself quite satisfied with that thought. Quite the sublime imaginery.

Funny that I listened to this now, considering that I've been thinking about piano playing quite the lot recently, due to all of the recent HH chapter titles being quotes or parahprases from the lyrics of a certain piano...hmm..artist's most famous tune. *chuckle*

I don't often get to say this, but I'll say...fave, and five-star-vote, and I also downloaded this, to add to my collection of versions of thing piece. *chuckle*

Thank you, Hammerfist!

This is a very pretty song, and you play it so well. Thanks for sharing with us. ^o^

Listening to this song takes me through a variety of emotions, but I think it makes me think of happy things the most. I kept looking back at my mate (Who was watching a youtube movie) and smiling at him. At least one of us can be romantic... *Sighs*

A little swangy in some spots, but it might be the tool. Despite that, it's beautifully played and pretty well done for unpracticed results!

i played a flute accompaniment piece to this song once <3 well done good sir.

Wow...This is very beautiful. My ears are in heaven. Nicely done! :)

My complaint is that it's too quiet in some passages, but an otherwise beautifully played piece. It drapes so nicely around reading the forums, surfing the web, or ... whatever. Even quiet contemplation with your chin on your fist. Maybe even put an ankle on a knee. Well done. I'd love to hear your interpretation of Beethoven's "Moonlight" first movement to make a series out of it! Find other compositions that make the connection to "Moonlight" and do them too!

You know, I discovered a long time ago that teachers's jobs seemed to include telling us that we were not where we should be. The better teachers do it subtly, while those with more, um, Hammerfisted techniques, simply tell us we're not good enough. Too much of that and we start to doubt our own talent. I did.

Part of being a performer means having confidence in your own talent. No matter wat. Yes, it explains people like Pauly Shore, who have very little if any talent, and get by on hutzpah alone. But it also explains the myriad of creative performers out there who rose above the doubt and the insecurities to change our lives.

I always look at the shining examples of whatever art I'm doing...and invariably despair at my own perceived lack of ability. But closer inspection shows me my error - there are always those who are less talented and capable than I. And yes, that's kinda twisted - but the question really comes down to - did the audience like it?

As artists, we are never satisfied. It is our Faustian agreement in exchange for our talent - our bit of madness from which greatness can spring. We are our harshest critics, very often. Always grow, always strive, always perform for YOU. And always remember that you will bring something beautiful to someone anytime you express yourself through art.

-TGU.

You're quite talented as a pianist. This is certainly a wild departure from what one normally expects to experience on a site like this!

Hmm, well well! Catering to the inner voyeur in all of us now! *chuckle* Still sounds as lovely as ever, and seeing the concentration of the artist is always a pleasure. Hope you play Bach next - you definitely got the Baroque hairdo already! :P
