great!!! I love also unperfect recordings, really, ....

One of the great themes of all time played brilliantly! This theme has a dark side every time it rings I'm breathing behind me ... I do not know. Maybe you are just imaginations! Thanks to Fivos, I know you exist! What joy!

nice recording - it sounds a little bit like a historical recording on 78 vinyl:-)

I love this piece. We sang a version of it for chorus this semester. Beautiful recording! Lots of soul to it.

@ninth-pulse: Thanks, Alexander. I enjoyed playing this.

Ah, a great classic by a great composer. Wonderfully played.

I like your flavor of the melody and timing played here. Very nice.

Wonderfully played, Pam! :) One of my very favorite songs to cover :) 

beautiful, brings Porgy and Bess back to life.

Lyrics by DuBose Heyward:

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Pamela Chng - Summertime by George Gershwin

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
