This was the first of four short challenges linked to the theme: "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue".


For the challenge "Something Old" Piano Cloud members were invited to submit a brand new version of any piece by a composer who is dead. This could be a recording of a classical piece, but could instead have been their own variation, arrangement or improvisation based on an old tune, such as a folk song, hymn or famous melody.

The Piano Cloud is an online community for creative pianists from around the world.

We are an active, friendly and informal group. Whether a beginner seeking advice, an active composer looking to share inspiration, a teacher or student, an amateur or professional - any creative pianist is absolutely welcome to join us and get fully involved in our community!

Piano Cloud Challenge - Something Old

Dreaming

Reverie (Schumann)

Schumann's love letter to his wife-to-be. Lovely little musical quote from the Ave Maria at the end - her favourite piece.  Romantic bastard...

Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" is one of the most powerfull pieces in the history of Classics. 

Vivaldi - The Four Seasons: Autumn

Bach Minuet In G Major.MP3

Variation on a Bach Prelude - WTC Book 1, c-minor

The slow walk of a funeral procession is emulated to remember Michael's cost of having taken over the position of Don to the Corleone "business". In Godfather III a  bullet grazes Michael's shoulder, but the other accidentally hits Mary, Michael's beloved daughter, (played by Francis De Coppola's daughter Sofia) in the heart, killing her instantly. Michael is devastated by Mary's death, which happens as he is beginning to finally put his life as Don Corleone behind him and rekindle his estranged relationship with Kay. A broken man, he retires to Sicily, where he eventually dies of old age nearly 20 years later. This music is for Mary since really, in the end much pomp and circumstance is afforded the mourning of the guilty.

So why call it the Don's Last Walk? Because it is Mary's death that is his own.

A few additional phrases added to Bach's Minuet in G. Started with the piano & added 2 string lines later to flesh it out.

Minuet In G

Hungarian Rhapsody 5 by Liszt. I learned this a few years back for a concert and now I tried to relearn it for the Piano Cloud challenge "Wedding: 1. Something Old". It's far from perfect though...

Might upload a new version in a few weeks after some more practice, but because the challenge ends March 29, this will have to do  ;)

This is my attempt to play a masterpiece of Robert Schumann - "Traumerei (Dreaming)". I've played it on the electric piano and used a very wide space for its sound. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Minuet In G Major

One of my favorite minuets! A very unique little piece I think you'll really like.    

MINUET IN E MINOR

Minuet in E minor

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
