FRIDAY FRIVOLITY No 2

Last week I chose a good old rock and roll tune that I've always loved.  I also enjoy classical music (I played the piano for a number of years) and Chopin is one of my favourite composers.   I think his Minute Waltz Op. 64 No. is  just so beautiful and I hope you enjoy it as well.  (From YouTube)

It is performed by classical pianist Lang Lang during a rehearsal at Boston's Symphony Hall on 27 February, 2013.  He is a true showman.  I thought it would be different to show him rehearsing rather than playing at a serious concert.


Once again, hoping this will come through OK.  This is, of course, me experimenting and with my minute knowledge of computing in general I always have my fingers crossed (or would if I could cross them).  (*:*)

    1. So glad you enjoyed it. Piano music my favourite although violin music beautiful too. I love so many types of music but not much of the more modern type.

  2. The way his fingers move it is almost as if the video clip has been speeded up. The sound makes it clear it hasn't.
    How amazing.

    1. I don't think many people realise the skill needed to play that type of piano music. I just love to see both hands so busy on the keyboard. He is one amazing pianist.

  4. I admire the skills of classical pianists, but the music doesn't appeal to me at all. I'm not one of those people who can hear things in the music, like babbling brooks or the wind in the trees. I do wish I could play piano, though honky-tonk style is probably what I'd play.

    1. I am not sure I always listen to hear what music is saying but rather just like to enjoy the sounds themselves.
      I too wish I could play piano....a skill that has long since left me unfortunately.....no piano so no practice over the years.
