Get ready for Chopin's 3rd Ballade, Op. 47, a sunny and optimistic tale with a side of dance and mischief. It's like a feel-good movie compared to the darker, stormier siblings in the Ballade family.

Featuring two main themes that play "opposites attract," our first melody soars sky-high, before echoing left-hand responses. Then, a burst of celebratory arpeggios adds some fireworks. The second theme? A flirty dance number, dipping into minor keys but never fully embracing tragedy.

Watch as the dancelike theme gets all dressed up, while the first remains elegantly unchanging. And let's not forget the flamboyant, keyboard-spanning joyride in between.

Written in 1841, the 3rd Ballade proves that Chopin's final decade was nothing short of musical genius. We might never know the exact story behind this lyrical piece, but its narrative roots and natural flow make it the most romantic of the set.

So, sit back and enjoy this delightful Chopin adventure, where epic narration meets warm-hearted charm, and let your imagination fill in the blanks! 🎹📖💃🌞

Frédéric Chopin Ballade no. 3 In A Flat Major, op. 47

I leave you here this Spanish Fantasy that aims to translate in the form of a fantastic serenade the spirit of those lands and their people, being on the other hand autonomous music that represents in my imagination many and sometimes indefinite feelings.

Spanish fantasy.

Hi all. I've been experimenting with felt on my Yamaha upright piano.  Recorded at home in preparation for my new live piano album to be released in the New Year.  I hope you like this track!

Recorded at home with a felted Yamaha upright piano using a pair of Rode NT5 microphones to capture the soft, ethereal, enchanting, beautiful sound that transports the listener to a world of tranquility and introspection, resulting in a mesmerising blend of relaxation and emotional depth.  Some may describe this music as sad, melancholy piano music, but I like to think it as uplifting and potentially spiritual.

Songs From The Wounded Heart
Release Date: 01-01-2015
© 2015 Keith Richie

Songs From The Wounded Heart is a deeply personal anthology—an emotional tapestry woven from sorrow, memory, and quiet resilience.

Spanning more than a decade of composition, this collection features both new works and reimagined, re-mastered selections from my earlier catalog. Now presented in high-resolution 24-bit audio, each piece has been carefully preserved and enhanced to reflect its original emotional weight with greater clarity and depth.

From the mournful ambience of Harrowing Emptiness to the delicate piano-led reflection of Jake's Theme, and the poignant stillness of Weeping Angels and Candles, each track serves as a sonic elegy—an outlet for grief, healing, and remembrance.

This album is not merely music. It is a refuge for the wounded. A balm for those navigating loss. And a quiet reminder that there is beauty even in brokenness.
