Funeral March (Chopin) Posted by: Kamibambiraptor
Video duration: 506 seconds (This piece has been reposted in a much higher quality version (and on a full concert grand) to: http://ca.youtube.co m/watch?v=rEX1dYyvmi g ) The famous funeral march; the third movement of Chopin's second piano sonata. I'm not terribly depressed today, but there was a thunderstorm so I figured I'd try recording in the hopes of getting some thunder. I did, just not where I wanted it!

Funeral March (Chopin; High Audio Version) Posted by: Kamibambiraptor
Video duration: 481 seconds A repost of what (to my bemusement) has been my most popular video to date. Unlike the last time, where I wasn't particularly depressed, I guess I'd say I'm no more depressed than usual: that won't likely change for a while yet. Related: chopin, classical, funeral, march, piano, second, sonata |

Warsaw Concerto (up to the finale) Posted by: Kamibambiraptor
Video duration: 581 seconds Here's as much as I can fit into 10 minutes right now. It's a little rough around the edges still, but I hope you'll enjoy it. The video cuts off just before the finale. I've recently reposted this, as well as the finale, played on my new piano (a full concert grand). Not faster, yet, but more accurate, and sounds much better on a grand.

Waltz in A Minor (Chopin) Posted by: Kamibambiraptor
Video duration: 414 seconds A better version of this piece has been uploaded to: http://ca.youtube .com/watch?v=HTGlqsE ko9I This piece, in a much simplified form, was my first exposure to Chopin. It's a rather somber piece, so I arranged for a thunderstorm to add some atmosphere. ;) Related: brilliante, chopin, classical, grand, minor, piano, valse, waltz |

A Breeze From Alabama (Scott Joplin) Posted by: Kamibambiraptor
Video duration: 390 seconds A higher audio quality version of this song (and on a concert grand) has been posted to: http://ca.youtube .com/watch?v=DTwsiwS 06xs Anyone here from Alabama? The only thing better than being from Alabama is being from Manitoba. ;) This piece has a number of subtleties and emotional depths that seem a little surprising given the title.

Nocturne #19 (Chopin, Op. 72, #1 in E Minor) Posted by: Kamibambiraptor
Video duration: 229 seconds A better version of this piece has been uploaded to: http://ca.youtube .com/watch?v=23opqWQ T948 An early work in all likelihood, published posthumously. A suave, dark piece of music. Hmmmmm.... I wonder if the melody might work on the panpipes.... Related: 19, chopin, classical, minor, nocturne, piano |

Nocturne in E Flat (Chopin; Nocturne #2: Panpipes) Posted by: Kamibambiraptor
Video duration: 314 seconds My beloved Chopin's music is famous for 'not translating well' from the piano to other instruments, but it occurred to me the other night this nocturne might sound good. Some parts (the chromatic scales, some ornaments) have been omitted (or fudged) for now; I don't know if the cadenza will ever work on the panpipes. Related: 2, chopin, flat, flute, major, nocturne, opus, pan, panflute, panpipe |

Searchlight Rag (Scott Joplin) Posted by: Kamibambiraptor
Video duration: 399 seconds Wistful and yearning at the start, a more upbeat middle section and a grand, ball-room dance-like ending. I play more with the base in this piece, rhythmically, than I usually do with Scott Joplin's rags. Related: joplin, piano, rag, ragtime, scott, searchlight |
