Nicely played Valerio. The only thing is that your F110 would need more depth in its sound... Good !

I always smile when a piece with your name next to it appears in the stream Stephan, and more so when I listen to it! As ever, wonderful!

Seriously i love your work, this isn't like all the others

My first rendition from the marvellous book of Prelude Fantasies by Stephan Beneking. This one is so lovable to play, with a touch of sadness inside.

Stephan Beneking - Prelude fantasie N°5

Prelude N°6 also said "Tolling Bells" (but this name was not given from Chopin) is told to have been played at the funeral of the immense composer. It  is taken from a collection of works for beginners with Chopin Music. In spite of this I find it terribly difficult to render. With many different critical points (especially the "senza pedale", after a few bars) . Difficult to mantain the right "accento". Not to mention the final with the "come da lontano" indication. One of my favorite pieces till now, and I think forever.

Schubert Piano Sonata No. 21 - 1. Molto moderato - Clara Haskil

Sur la luzerne en fleur assise,
Qui chante dès le frais matin ?
C'est la fille aux cheveux de lin,
La belle aux lèvres de cerise.

L'amour, au clair soleil d'été,
Avec l'alouette a chanté.

Ta bouche a des couleurs divines,
Ma chère, et tente le baiser !
Sur l'herbe en fleur veux-tu causer,
Fille aux cils longs, aux boucles fines ?

L'amour, au clair soleil d'été,
Avec l'alouette a chanté.

Ne dis pas non, fille cruelle !
Ne dis pas oui ! J'entendrai mieux
Le long regard de tes grands yeux
Et ta lèvre rose, ô ma belle !

L'amour, au clair soleil d'été,
Avec l'alouette a chanté.

Adieu les daims, adieu les lièvres
Et les rouges perdrix ! Je veux
Baiser le lin de tes cheveux,
Presser la pourpre de tes lèvres !

L'amour, au clair soleil d'été,
Avec l'alouette a chanté.

(Charles-Marie LECONTE DE LISLE, Chansons écossaises)

Claude Debussy - La Fille Aux Cheveux De Lin

Andre Gagnon - Comme Au Premier Jour - 192k

Puccini's most exquisite aria in a quite funky transcription. Crazy romantic :)

O Mio Babbino Caro, Puccini arr. Mikhashoff

Bach most famous prelude. For a reason...
Just wrote a book that shows *anyone* how to play this within 6 weeks. What a great thing to do...

Bach: Prelude in C major

This is my second recording taken from Mr Stephan Beneking's rich archive of wonderful pieces.
Having been already recorded by much better pianists than me  I  tried to differentiate a little introducing some little dissonance and a closed "finale" which probably is not in Stephan's intentions. But as he already said me once  "the interpreter  is not the slave of the compeser". So I did it;  forgive me Stephan if  you should not like it :)

Stephan Beneking - Petit reve bizarre N°20

Is it possible for an adult who left playing an instrument at the age of 20 start again 30 years later or so with a completely  new instrument and reach a medium level ? In Italian Piano Zero means Ground Zero. This is where I  start  from.This is my challange. I'm an adult (48) who started playing  piano in 2011. I have being playing classical guitar when i was young, reaching a medium level. Then I left  , but recentely  I felt the urge to start again, and I choosed to do but this time with an instrument that I always have been loving secretely. I love Bach, Chopin, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov above all. Play a digital piano (Roland F110) . Hope to contact other adult beginners players on Sound Cloud so that we could create a group for people in this condition, if you agree.
