Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, Op. 71, Act II: No. 14a, Pas de deux

From "Episodes" (2020), a great modern classical piece by Florian Christl, contemporary German composer and pianist.
This "Vivaldi Variation" is something more than a piano arrangement, it's a totally new very great song.
The original, by Vivaldi, is the Concerto for strings and basso continuo in G Minor, RV 156 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82gHYBkergU)

“Life in A Movie” is an imaginary soundtrack, closely linked to two other cinematic songs from Andrea’s repertoire: his “Soulmate” and the rework of “Amelie”, re-proposed as bonus tracks of the single in two mashups, inextricably linked to each other, like the three acts of a classic film.

Lent et douloureux.
Slow and sorrowful.

"Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant; Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie; Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant; Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie."

"Slanting and shadow-cutting a flickering eddy
Trickled in gusts of gold to the shiny flagstone
Where the atoms of amber in the fire mirroring themselves
Mingled their sarabande to the gymnopaedia"

- Contamine de Latour

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 with a generous amount of reverb and phaser, and a thin layer of strings.

ALL tracks are piano covers played by me on my Kawai CA78. Maybe some performances are just so so, I hope you'll enjoy the pieces, though!
