Poem: NIKOS GKATSOS
Composer: MANOS HATZIDAKIS
-
Έμπαινες κι έλαμπε το σπίτι
σαν το τριφύλλι τ’ ανοιχτό
κι είχες το φως τ’ Αποσπερίτη
στα δυο σου μάτια φυλαχτό

Άφηνες πάνω στο τραπέζι
γάλα και μέλι και ψωμί
κι έβλεπα τ’ όνειρο να παίζει
στο πελαγίσιο σου κορμί

Σ’ ευχαριστώ, σ’ ευχαριστώ
ήσουν παιδί σαν τον Χριστό

Κύμα και βότσαλο κι αλμύρα
και καλοκαίρι μου ζεστό
ούτε ένα δάκρυ σου δεν πήρα
στην παγωνιά για να λουστώ

Σ’ ευχαριστώ, σ’ ευχαριστώ
ήσουν παιδί σαν τον Χριστό
-
You would walk-in and the house would lit-up
like an opened-up clover
and you kept the light of Resper
in your eyes, as a charm

You were placing upon the table
milk and honey and bread
and I watched the dream play
on your body of open-sea

I thank you, I thank you
you were a child like Christ

Wave and peble and saltiness
and warm summer of mine
didn't take even a tear-drop of yours
so that I may bathe in the bitter cold

I thank you, I thank you
you were a child like Christ
-
Entravi e la casa si riempiva di luce
come il trifoglio quando si schiude
e avevi la luce della stella Venere
come un amuleto nei tuoi due occhi

Posavi sopra il tavolo
latte e miele e pane
e io vedevo giocare il sogno
sul tuo corpo oceanino

Oh grazie, oh grazie,
eri un ragazzo uguale a Cristo

Onda e ciottolo e salsedine
e mia calda estate
neppure una lacrima ti ho preso
per lavarmi nel gran gelo

Oh grazie, oh grazie,
eri un ragazzo uguale a Cristo
-
Je kwam binnen en het huis schitterde
als het klavertje dat opengaat
en je had het licht van de Avondster
in je twee ogen, als een talisman

Op de tafel liet je
melk, honing en brood achter
en ik zag de droom spelen
in/op je wijdezee-lichaam

Dank je, dank je,
je was een kind als Christus

Een golf, een keitje en ziltigheid
en mijn warme zomer
niet één traan nam ik van je
om me in de bittere kou te wassen

Dank je, dank je,
je was een kind als Christus
-
Tú entrabas y la casa se iluminaba
como el trébol abierto
y tenías la luz del Héspero
en tus dos ojos como un talismán

Dejabas sobre la mesa
leche y miel y pan
y veía el sueño jugar
en tu cuerpo oceánico

Te agradezco, te agradezco
tú eres un niño como Jesús

Ola y guijarro y salinidad
y mi verano caliente
no tenía ni una lágrima tuya
para lavar mi pelo en el frío

Te agradezco, te agradezco
tú eres un niño como Jesús

Petit rêve bizarre XX -  Improvisation by Milana - Album on iTunes

Congratulations to pianist Carlos Márquez from Phoenix / USA (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital) for the 1st performance of "La grande Petitesse" !!

Only 3 weeks after initiating the challenge (see here: https://soundcloud.com/stephan-beneking/petitesse-150-usd-pianist-new) Carlos sent me on 21st of Jan his spectacular  recording of this very difficult piece - bravo!

Please read the score / sheetmusic while listening, so you can appreciate these 12 minutes of pianistical artistry!

More information about the "Pianist Challenge" and the Booklet with the scores of "Petitesse" you find here: http://www.beneking.com/petitesse

It would be great if other pianists (I know of some who are working on it already...) take on this challenge as well, and hopefully we will be able to listen to more recordings and different interpretations of "La grande Petitesse" from other pianists soon :-)

"Petitesse" Challenge

"La grande Petitesse" - Pianist Challenge - 1st performance by Carlos Márquez

"A la recherche du temps perdu" No. 1 - " Du côte de chez Swann" - performed by pianist Ellen Cunningham Weaver, USA, on a Schimmel Grand Piano (https://soundcloud.com/ellen-w-1).

"Time" is the main theme of "A la recherche du temps perdu", inspired by the amazing book "In search of the lost time" by Marcel Proust. We live in "fast times", we are "stressed", and we all are longing for the "temps perdu", when life was slower, more down tempo. So the pieces in this series, called after the chapter titles of Proust´s book, are very slow, very accentuated, very expressive. Both listeners and pianists should take their time, to play and listen, as a short break from "normal times"...

Ellen recorded all 7 pieces of the series " A la recherche du temps perdu" and 4 pieces of the new "Adveniat" series. Both series are very contemplative, and Ellen´s masterful interpretations accentuate this character so well. We are sure you will enjoy our new "pure piano" Album!

I met Gaby by coincidence on a christmas market in Berlin and was instantly excited about her beautiful photographs of run-down houses with old pianos, that fit so perfectly to my music. Thankfully I can use these pictures for my new albums.

Album "The Swans" - 12 Valses Melancoliques
Pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse) from Los Angeles / USA has recorded the whole "Swans" series. Danaë performs these works in a masterful way, bringing interpretive variety to each waltz such that each piece portrays distinct character, and all are a delight to hear!

Exquisite review by Cordogan on iTunes :
"Having been in the piano business for 44 years, few pianists surprise or even draw me into their playing the way Danae Vlasse does. The marvelous interpretations of this accomplished and passionate pianist evoke an exquisite escape from the real world. 
Her piano playing mystifies explanation. Listening to her CD entices you into a place, where time and space no longer exist."

Ignacy Jan Paderewski: Nocturne in B-flat major

أشياء جميلة تحدث غفلة دون أي ترتيب .. أتمنى تسمعوا الموسيقى دي للآخر وتفضل ملازماكم زي ما ملازماني الفترة دي من الأيام.. هذه المقطوعات بعد ما تم دمجها إهداء مني لروح أروى صالح.

“خصوصية المأساة عند جيل خاض تجربة التمرد، هى أنه مهما كان مصير كل واحد من أبنائه، سواء سار فى سكة السلامة، طريق التوبة و الإذعان لقوة الأمر الواقع، وحتى إعلان الكفر بكل قيم التمرد القديم، أو سار فى طريق الندامة، الإنهيار، إعتزال الحياة، المرض النفسى، فإنه شاء أم أبى لا يعود أبداً نفس الشخص الذى قبل أن تبتليه غواية التمرد، لقد مسه الحلم مرة، و ستبقى تلاحقه دوماً ذكرى الخطيئة الجميلة، لحظة حرية، خفة، لا تكاد تحتمل لفرط جمالها، تبقى مؤرقة كالضمير، و ملهمة ككل لحظة مفعمة بالحياة”

Nearly 2 hours ago I asked to my FB friends to give their own images/scenes that melancholy inspires them. I was literally overwhelmed with their beautiful images and thoughts. So I decided to compose this music, to add my contribution to the discussion. 
Thank you, guys - you rock.

I put a lot of work behind this one, strings can be a pain and my MBP was fuming with the samples at times.

Hope you enjoy this one, I´m pretty proud of the result.

Marina And The Diamonds - How To Be A Heartbreaker (Dada Life Remix)

It´s that time of year,,, the crossroads time,, do I head on or take a turn,,,,   easy way out is the way ahead,,,,  so I wonder, and wonder,,,   and play around with the black keys,,, F# major,, lovely key

The picture is the midi file,,,  I thought it came out nicely as a graphic piece of "art" :)

This piece is a whole improv, just a mediation.......   don´t have energy to do something organized,,,  cause at the moment live in a crappy country, with crappy government, idiot nation(not everyone but enough),  crappy weather,  but 95% of the time I´m pretty happy with it.....
