wonderful flow, and gorgeous start to my morning

As lovely as the track note. I'm thinking the room where you and your piano meet is very special.

Etude Op. 25, No. 4

The Heart Part 5

United In Grief

Ydre

After American writer, Philip Roth. Following his death, Adam Kirsch (his best friend) said:

"He looks like a Roman Emperor, but a good one"

Why name an improvised jazz piano piece after a great American author?
Because the first thing I happened to look at, after playing the piece, was his name on the cover of a book entitled 'The Human Stain'. His book, on the sofa,  caught in a pool of light. And because I miss him. Even though I never met him.

Not Like Us

Prelude & Fugue 14  F sharp minor, Well-tempered Clavier, Book 2

„Die Tasten die ich liebe” Teil X. (23.06.2024 )

Fortsetzung meiner Klangresonanzreise mit diesem zehnten Teil der Pianomeditationen.

Lasst Euch ein und gleichfalls überraschen auf die meditativen Klänge.
Tauchen Sie ein in die Resonanzschwingungen.
Atmet und lasset Euch von diesen Klängen führen.

„Die Tasten die ich liebe“ Teil IX. könnt Ihr unter diesem Link anhören:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-9

Diesmal vielleicht eher eine kleine Nachtmusik. Oder ein zaghaftes sakrales Klanggebet.
Sich auf den Klang einlassen und intensiv hineinhören ist gleichermaßen auch eine meditative Fokussierung auf die Musik.
Folgt den Klängen ohne Gedanken. Nur auf sich selbst zu konzentrieren und entspannen. 
Musik ist heilsam für uns Menschen. 

Ich habe frei von allen Mustern der Klanggestaltung mich von den Klängen inspiriert leiten lassen. 
Spielerisch, improvisierend mich dem Gefühl jeder Taste von Ton zu Ton leitend hingegeben.
Ohne auf einen richtigen oder falschen Ton zu achten.
Denn eigentlich gibt es keinen falschen Ton. Alles ist Klang.
Ich komponiere nicht, ich werde komponiert.
Die Komposition ist bereits da, ich horche in die Stille.
Das Leben ist eine Komposition.

Jeder Körper ist anders und hat unterschiedliche Schwingungen.

Seit Begleiter meiner musikalischen Reise mit den Tasten die ich liebe.
Eine Klaviermeditation zur Entspannung, zur Erholung, zur Heilung unserer Klangkörper.

Ich wünsche Euch liebevolle, beruhigende und entspannte Klangmomente.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

“The keys I love” Part X. (June 23, 2024)

Continuation of my sound resonance journey with this tenth part of the piano meditations.
Let yourself be involved and surprised by the meditative sounds.
Immerse yourself in the resonance vibrations.

Breathe and let these sounds guide you.
You can listen to “The keys I love” Part IX. at this link:

https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-9

This time perhaps more of a little night music. Or a timid sacred sound prayer.
Engaging in the sound and listening to it intensely is also a meditative focus on the music.
Follow the sounds without thoughts. Just concentrate on yourself and relax.
Music is healing for us humans.

Free from all patterns of sound design, I let myself be inspired by the sounds.
Playfully, improvising, I surrender to the feeling of each key, guiding me from note to note.
Without paying attention to whether there is a right or wrong note.
Because actually there is no wrong note. Everything is sound.
I don't compose, I am composed.
The composition is already there, I listen to the silence.
Life is a composition.
Every body is different and has different vibrations.
Be a companion on my musical journey with the keys that I love.
A piano meditation for relaxation, for recovery, for healing our sound bodies.
I wish you loving, calming and relaxed moments of sound.
Thank you for your valued attention. SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music

The Keys i love Part X.

"Reflect upon the beautiful transition from sun to moon with 'Nightfall.' This piece takes you on a serene journey through twilight, capturing the essence of day giving way to night. From the warm glow of sunset to the gentle light of the rising moon, each note echoes the tranquil beauty of this natural rhythm. Perfect for relaxation and contemplation, 'Nightfall' is your piece for appreciating the peacefulness of evening.

Nightfall

Midnight Waltz  is a piece that weaves the mystique of the nighttime into its melodies. This piece transports listeners to a moonlit ballroom, where shadows dance elegantly under the canopy of stars. With its flowing rhythms and hauntingly beautiful themes, "Waltz of the Night" captures the essence of midnight serenity, evoking both romance and mystery in every note.

Midnight Waltz

CLOUDBUSTING 
by Kate Bush
Arranged and played by Dan van den Berg

A few songs from my youth stay with me and don’t seem to age. Some of Kate Bush’ songs are amongst those, especially Running up that Hill and Cloudbusting. I remember watching the video that played out like a little movie, with Donald Sutherland of course being impressive as always. The music combined with bittersweet emotions of the images struck a chord with younger me. Today I can look back and say I still feel the same about this song, a beauty…

Here is my version… Hope you will enjoy! -Dan

As always I really appreciate your likes, comments and shares!
-Dan
