As with watching people who can draw freehand beauty I also admire greatly anyone who has the discipline to play piano .. This is beautiful Philip thank you . Russell :)

Very lovely and nostalgic piano-sound. Excellent playing

Fazioli, a most outstanding Dutch grandpiano!

Beautiful, great skill by the player and the music is very appropriate.

a big fan of the bass clef this is stunning

Mixed Fiends 32

Fantastic modernist piece, with colors that reminds one of machines, of Hollywood, and of fairy tales (often with a grim or sarcastic tone). It starts of with a beautiful Russian folk tune, and from that emerges a sound narrative that no one could predict, full of unexpected turns, in a balance between incomparable excitement and pristine beauty. Perhaps one of the greatest piano concertos of the 20th century. 

I play the solo part, and Carlos Hernandez conducts the wonderful Ball State Symphonic Orchestra.

By the way, often this quote is attributed to Prokofiev: “there are still many beautiful things to be said in C major”. Whether he said or not, this Concerto definitely attests to the truth of the statement.

Prokofiev - Piano Concerto n. 3, mov. 1

Preludes for Piano

Prelude 3. Indecisive Impressions

Series of thoughts on a snowy and almost desolate landscape. (From old tapes: the sound quality is very modest.)

Snowscapes: Nº1 Introduction, Solitude.

I was 20 when I wrote this piece, for my dad. He played the recorder then, this is a reworked version for the trumpet (cornet actually) - the recorder sounds good too. Illustration : http://west28.nl/Tubes/

Amoureux du dièse

A long slow somnambulistic violin with some background sounds for added relaxation.

Dream's edge(flight of fantasy)

Die ist eine schönere Version von ,,84", die von Michael Spielmann interpretiert wurde (https://soundcloud.com/search?q=michael%20spielmann). Ich denke, das Stück klingt verbessert und vergrössert. Ich bin dafür so dankbar !

Nocturne in E minor for the left hand solo (piano)

An improvised session on my new Octatrack. All loops and sounds created in Ableton Live and then exported to Octatrack for live session and slicing.

Octa Electra Orch(a?)

1st movement


“Resounding through all the notes
In the earth's colorful dream
There sounds a faint long-drawn note
For the one who listens in secret.”

...

“Take, then, these songs,
That I to you, beloved, sang”

You can tell by the quotations Schumann used in his Fantasie, op. 17, that it is a very passionate - yet lyrical and vulnerable - work. 

Its main extra-musical themes are his passion/love for Clara Schumann, his admiration for Beethoven, and the mysterious note and listener of the first quotation. But those are all so impregnated in the music that they barely fit the “extra-musical” label. The magic of Robert Schumann of making literature become music, and music become literature.

Schumann - Fantasie op. 17, I. Durchaus phantastisch und leidenschaftlich vorzutragen.

I'm going to make some remakes of the old versions, and this is one of them
