This is an AMEB (Australian Music Examination Board) Series 17 Grade 6 exam piece by Danish composer Niels Wilhelm Gade (1817 - 1890). 

There are so many intricacies involved in this romantic piece that every touch makes a difference. This recording does not do justice to the dynamic range that can only be felt in a live performance. Nonetheless, I hope you get the idea. The subtlety of phrasing and pedalling work requires a deep understanding of the emotions involved, one I feel is reminiscent of a tension between two lovers engaged in a dialogue. There are intense moments in this piece  that are quickly resolved and perhaps, giving way to a sense of resignation. 

I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoy playing it . . . over and over and over again :)

Recorded on the 9th of August, 2021 and dedicated to the memory of my dear friend Lizzie (8th Aug. 1966 to 21st Jul. 2021).

Eine Klangreise durch den Sommer 2003 – zwischen Liebe, Wärme, Dämmerung und Erinnerung.
Jeder Track steht für einen Moment aus dem Buch:
☀️ „Main Theme – The Hottest Summer“ – die Hitze eines Nachmittags, der alles verändert.
🎞️ „Jack (Boy Made of Heat)” – innere Ruhe, Licht und Unsicherheit.
💛 „Danielle Thompson“ – laut, bunt, ehrlich.
🌙 „Rain on Düsseldorf“ – Nächte voller Regen, Zigarettenrauch und Gedanken.

Dieses Album ist eine Hommage an eine Zeit, die gleichzeitig vergangen und ewig ist –
und an all die Figuren, die in The Hottest Summer leben.

Simple Melody - Teaser - out in september

In a world of appearances, music is the only thing-in-itself. It is an expression of my metaphysical being, and though it cannot be understood, it must surely be felt.

To all my friends on SoundCloud, and those I have yet to meet, thank you for connecting with me through your music. If you have music you want me to execute, I will be honoured to do so. It is a pleasure to know you.

About Me:
Had my first piano - a Yamaha C108 acoustic upright - and piano lessons when I was seven. Six years later, I was made to quit, so I left the piano and went on to mix records with a mobile disco I co-founded as a teenager. Became a school teacher, and now teaching classical piano privately. My focus is on music interpretation, tone production and technique. 

My other interests and areas of studies are philosophy, sociology, writing, cosmology, quantum mechanics, and reading. My greatest inspirations are J.S. Bach, Kant, Nietzsche, and Einstein (wow, I just realised they're all Germans).

Thank you for your comments and for listening.

My current recording setup comprises:
Acoustic piano - Yamaha C108 (pre-2010), Kawai NS-15 (2010-2014), Kawai K-25EA (2020-present)
External mic - Blue Yeti
Software - Logic Pro X / Garageband
