Fall 2013 is the very special time for Ukraine and Europe...EU door starting barely to open for Ukraine under mafiosi like current prez and "family"....while Russia still refer this former colony as its own province...

 Barbarians of XX century choose Ukraine and its people as "cannon fodder" in their bloody games of both World War I and II ...for ideas and values that turns humans into the slaves of mighty state ...

 European Union will give Ukrainians peace and may be prosperity....and in return Ukraine will make much more peaceful Europe, insuring that resurection of Russian Impire will be just a pipe dream of old commy ...

Russia can only give misery,wars and slavery to its people and invaded lands as it was for the most of last 300 years in Ukraine.

Ukraine

This is love

My longing

Here is a transcription I made by ear of a waltz that can be heard in the film "Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom". I know that some people on the internet, probably as obsessive as I am, have also been searching for this song for over 10 years without any success, because this short piano piece (and a few others in the movie) is not credited anywhere in the movie infos or anywhere else.
I'm asking you all, who will see this post, please help me find out what it is; who composed it ? Is there a version of it somewhere ? etc...
(All I know is that the interpreter in the movie is a pianist called Arnaldo Graziosi, but he didn't compose it. And before you tell me, it's not Chopin and it's probably not Ennio Morricone either)
Thanks in advance, good luck, and if you don't find anything, which is more than likely, well... just enjoy this gorgeous piece !

I had the idea of posting a video of it on youtube for people to help me find out what this unknown waltz from "Salo" was,
and the YT bot found it for me.
The mystery is finally solved !

"Valzer di mezzanotte" the unknown piano waltz from "Salo or the 120 Days"

Orchestral music created in Cubase. Any comments for improvement are appreciated as this is my first attempt to compose electronically. The main theme is inspired by Ernesto Lecuona - Suite Andalusia. Enjoy!

Journeys can be amazing, exciting and adventurous but at the end there is nothing like coming back home. Enjoy "Coming Home" - this cinematic piano track from the album "Where Giants Roam The Earth" is one of my personal favorites.

The album is getting its first awards already: Silver Medal for “Contemporary Classical Album” from Global Music Awards and the title track earned “Best Instrumental Song” Radio Music Award (from Indie Music Channel). Yay, this has been quite a generous year!

Happy Valentine's Day to you and your beloved ones! I haven't really planned to record this cover but one of my students practiced this song with me for a couple months and it got stuck in my head :) So, to "unstuck" it, here is my rendition of the song. Be sure to check our recording of my student's performance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nbhAO1lIh0 !!

"City of Stars"  ("La la land") performed by Milana Zilnik

I absolutely adore the Chopin Barcarolle. There are many reasons why I love this piece of music, but some of the main ones are its stunning melody, its rich and complex harmonies, and its emotional depth.

First and foremost, the melody of the Barcarolle is absolutely beautiful. It is both lyrical and expressive, and Chopin's skillful use of phrasing and ornamentation adds to its overall beauty. The melody moves through a range of emotions, from tender and delicate to intense and passionate. I find myself humming along every time I hear it.

In addition to its beautiful melody, the Barcarolle also features rich and complex harmonies. Chopin's use of chromaticism and modulations adds layers of depth and color to the music, and the way he combines different chords and harmonies is truly masterful. I am always amazed by the way the harmonies in the Barcarolle support and enhance the melody.

Finally, I love the Barcarolle because of its emotional depth. This piece is not just a pretty melody with fancy harmonies; it is a deeply emotional and expressive work of art. The music conveys a wide range of emotions, from wistfulness and longing to joy and exultation. I am always moved by the way Chopin is able to convey these emotions through his music.

Overall, the Chopin Barcarolle is a masterpiece, and I could listen to it over and over again. It is a true work of art, and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to experience its beauty from a performer's perspective.

In 1845, the Barcarolle was composed among other mazurkas and songs. It is known for its captivating sound and its fiery, passionate expression. By coincidence or design, the last of the three Mazurkas, Op. 59, ends with a transition to the bright key of F sharp major. Interestingly, the Barcarolle also begins in F sharp major, which is a rare key for Chopin. Throughout the piece, the key of F sharp major plays a significant role, as the music frequently departs from and returns to it.

The exact circumstances under which Chopin came up with the idea for the Barcarolle are unknown. Chopin never visited Venice and only briefly saw Italian landscapes and atmosphere on a boat trip. It is possible that the idea and form of the barcarolle came from existing works in the genre, particularly those by Rossini and Auber. All of these composers' operatic barcarolles were well-known to Chopin and could have influenced his composition.

About the title ''Titania''
Shakespeare wrote a book with a lot of surrealistic characteristics with the title ' A midsummer night's dream' one of the main characters is Titania, the queen of the ferries, a ferry woman so beautiful and elegant as strong magician and character!
......................................................................................................................................................................................................
The project
A piano composition with great breathing. It belongs to minimalism and gives you the time to think about what you hear and the space to lose yourself inside of it! The basic motivation when I wrote it was the character of Titania from ''Midsummer night's dream'' by William Shakespeare. It has four minor chords and its basic theme interpretation gets introduced in different ways, volumes and tempos that give to the listener a vast variety of acoustic stimulus with different depths and distances
