Very nice.
Bruce
Such a beautiful composition, beautifully played.
It's really good ! Keith , thanks for posting.
Very nicely done Aaron.
Thank you, thank your for posting. As a piano player and music lover that sure made my day! I could almost hear Leonard singing along in my mind!Quote:

Excellent from the quiet beginning to the incredibly beautiful ending, seamless timing with wonderful dynamic contrasts throughout - it got my pulse rate up and left me emotionally filled! And it's technically excellent with clean arpeggios. I'll share that with some other pianists I know.
But hmm, my Baldwin didn't come with fireworks like that... :)

Very nicely done
Very Nice! Obviously Aaron has multiple talents! Aside from the beautiful music, I loved the silver bars, which to me anyway, are reminiscent of the holes in a player piano roll, corresponding to the notes and their intensity. It must have taken quite some work to have those generated and synced to his playing.
Cool! How is the new site software coming along?

BTW, I really like how Celine and Andrea combine the languages in their recording. We travel to Italy quite a bit, again in a few months. I would LOVE to catch his summer concert in Tuscany. Maybe someday...

Both are simply beautiful.
Thank you.
Baldwins have a rich history in the US.. I bet it's a beautiful piano. Interestingly enough, hymn improv is among my favorite--I'd love to hear it if you post sometime.
For the rockers, here's something a little "harder hitting" which I put together while recovering from a cold the past 5 days. (yuck!)

The piano is indeed beautiful. My playing is only beautiful in my mind or to an undiscriminating person. If anyone is listening I say "oops" a lot.Quote:

At the time I bought the piano Billy Joel had just been to Knoxville for a fantastic concert - I bought the bench he had sat on for a "song". The local piano store had rented it to him along with a piano. Years later I had the bench recovered and my friend reminded me and wanted a piece of the original naugahyde!
I don't have a recent picture but the piano (and bench!) is in the background behind my son, 20+ years ago. Also back there is a bunch of midi gear - do you need a Kurzweil Midiboard (with individual aftertouch!) or a Yamaha KX88, a stack of Kurzweil synths, midi switcher, reverb, mixer, etc? All that is stored away now - when I have time to plink I want the real thing!

I'm hot in the middle of preparing a Sunday lesson for 50 kids but I'll put your latest offering on my play list. BTW, I found an old videos or two on youtube associated with your name. Lively!.
