Lemaldupays Neo Classical Music from Eric Christian .
I like this piece and I know I didn’t do it justice . Maybe I could if I’d have decided 6 months ago to start practicing it? The challenge is in the slow fluid tempo .
To me, it is a motif that tells a story of longing for a place or an old lover,- the added reverb I used, was to make the sound seem distant. As if in a mental fading memory from a song or home or person long ago. A fitting title
Well returning with JS Bach after 2.5 years for a e-cital .
Only short practice times which I know this is somewhat “stiff” playing but thanks for listening . Ported midi to Ivory Steinway software and added reverb. It is me and my touch, which you can easily discern here in this piece.
This really unfinished….. just didn’t have time to practice and…it’s a nice song to just go on and on…..
Ave Maria based on the Prelude by JS Bach.
Original Arrangement here Ave Maria by Mike Magatagan
A beginner’s piece, if there is such a thing.
So, When you like the sound and melody , it doesn’t matter.
I posted two [of my own] versions of the original playing.
For the submittal I added bass to the original and ported it through Pianoteq.
I don’t know if that makes it more of a solid piano sound , but I
liked the bass added.
If you’re curious, the original is there/here at the
YouTube/web page link .
As a personal note, I’m certain I’d get more satisfaction from a
technically challenging piece,
but unfortunately worklife takes a toll.
On the upside, as this piece says..
“I ‘m content.”
The score I used is below :

I heard the piece when watching the movie “The Secret
Garden”, and the sound of the solo piano struck me, and I felt and heard the beauty of music.
For me this piece has a
personal aspect that maybe someday I’ll write about.
I had recorded this piece previously and posted it in the
‘piano bars”. It was quite awhile ago.
This is today’s recording. I thought about what I’ve
gained since I learned this piece 9 years ago:
Piano wise I’d say a lot of theory ,
my limits ….(which is good to know ,but they might
be an illusion?)
No ..Nah, they’re real.
And the lyrics seem even more true with getting
“mature’? 🙂
AND …The technical stuff: Recorded on a Privia PX
100 direct to a dell laptop with stings and through
Cakewalk Edirol for the piano only solo.

and My videos.
for comparison….
Alot has happened in 9 years. so anyway I hope you enjoy the
music.
(Ihope I play better than 9 years ago)
2 Arias by JS Bach. – they are BWV 508 and 515.
I practiced both for 3 months, but not too regularly. Once recorded, I realized that I had made errors in the timing, so I re- recorded, which was frustrating because overall I made small timing errors throughout again. I also added an organ to the same midi data of BWV 515 and channeled it through TTS cakewalk.
Note that the organ sound is more authentic to the time period when BWV 515 was composed, but to me sounds “too” formal for the piece . The nuances of timing and dynamics will be improved in the future. Thanks for listening and…
Hope you like the music!
A small contribution …
A slow lazy jazz piano piece from the 60’s.
Love the feel. Of course maybe not played as well as it could-of been.
-Flu season……
Hope you like- and thanks for Listening !
