Voici une vie de Debussy... avec ses propres mots ! Christian Nabert, par un travail immense et minutieux, a reconstitué une sorte de récit de la vie de Debussy à travers exclusivement des passages de sa correspondance. Pas un seul mot qui ne soit du musicien lui-même. Et ces mots sont habillés de sa musique évidemment. Un superbe travail pédagogique qui fait découvrir le musicien vivant !

Debussy - partie 2

Voici une vie de Debussy... avec ses propres mots ! Christian Nabert, par un travail immense et minutieux, a reconstitué une sorte de récit de la vie de Debussy à travers exclusivement des passages de sa correspondance. Pas un seul mot qui ne soit du musicien lui-même. Et ces mots sont habillés de sa musique évidemment. Un superbe travail pédagogique qui fait découvrir le musicien vivant ! Debussy est incarné par la voix du comédien Philppe Noiret.

Debussy - partie 1

This is a studio recording from 2012 for the BBC film 'Loving Miss Hatto'. A biopic penned by the British comedian Victoria Wood about pianist Joyce Hatto.

The character piece is like the art song's fun-loving cousin who always shows up to the party with a bottle of emotional perfume. It's perfect for those intimate gatherings or solo rendezvous with your piano. Thanks to the piano's rise to fame in the 1800s, character pieces were popping up everywhere, and composers were flaunting their creations at the hottest recital events of the time. Basically, character pieces were the 19th century's version of a hot new single. If you thought Franz Liszt's music was boring, think again! This guy was all about giving his character pieces creative and whimsical titles, like "Sposalizio" and "Vallée d'Obermann". But don't worry, he didn't forget about those of us who like our music titles to be a little more straightforward - he also composed plenty of works with no-nonsense names like "Album Leaves" and "Klavierstücke". With his "Consolations" (a.k.a. "Six Poetic Thoughts"), Liszt took a page out of Chopin's book and delved into the world of nocturnes. And let me tell you, the third Consolation in D-flat major is pure Chopin - even the key is pianist-friendly, unlike those pesky "easy" keys like C major. Looks like Liszt knew a thing or two about pleasing his audience! If you're a Chopin fan, you're gonna love Liszt's "Consolation No. 3"! I mean, talk about a tribute - this piece is basically a carbon copy of Chopin's Opus 27, no. 1. And while it might not have the same flashy piano solos that Liszt is known for, it more than makes up for it with its dreamy, slow-moving melodies. Plus, it's in the same key as Chopin's original, so you know it's gotta be good.

Despite the unusual title, the Consolations were inspired by both poetry and religious contemplation, just like Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses. Some say the title comes from an 1830 poetry collection by Sainte-Beuve, while others think it's based on a poem by Lamartine called A Tear (or Consolation). Either way, it seems like Liszt was in a pretty contemplative mood when he wrote these pieces. But don't worry, Liszt didn't completely forget his roots - he snuck in a little Hungarian folk song as the primary theme, which he later used in his "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1". So even though this piece might not match the wild, hair-flailing image we have of Liszt, it's still got a little bit of that old-school flavor. Liszt's "Consolation No. 3" wasn't just a musical masterpiece - it was also a major turning point in the composer's life. And let me tell you, Liszt's early life was a doozy - it was basically one big, crazy party. But don't take my word for it, just ask his first mistress (and mother of his three children) Marie d'Agoult, who wrote all about it under the pen name Daniel Stern. And if you're feeling really adventurous, you can even watch the 1975 film "Lisztomania" for all the juicy details. Talk about living the dream! Liszt's life was like something out of a Hollywood movie - seriously, this guy was breaking class barriers and performing like a superstar. But as he got older, he decided to trade in the limelight for a little bit of privacy. He started conducting orchestras and composing more, and even started teaching aspiring pianists from around the world. I guess you could say he was the original piano man!

Debussy - Deux Arabesques

This is the famous air form the 3d Suite for Orchestra by J.S. Bach. This piece has become so famous in Italy having been for years the music for a well known science TV program. There are many piano versions, Probably the most played of them  is the one   from Siloti. This is a different one anyway, in A major.
Here is the score I used.:

After the unexpected success of "Not Fur Elise" (https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/not-fur-elise-tribute-milana) Arty asked me if I can play a set of "Not classical" improvisations. I am a huge fan of Chopin, no less than I am a fan of Beethoven. So, here is the next "not classical" piece. Enjoy :)

Not A Nocturne - Not Chopin

Not A Nocturne - Not Chopin - by Milana

Yesterday, i played a couple of the beautiful sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domenico_Scarlatti and recorded this one in A-major. Hope you enjoy!

Domenico Scarlatti - Sonata K 208/L 238

Practicing piano is something I NEED to do in order to keep my chops up and also give me inspiration for when I'm writing my own records.  This here was a favourite of mine many years ago when I was competing (though I'm more rusty at it now!).  Mendelssohn's beautiful Songs Without Words Opus 102 No. 4 or otherwise known as the The Sighing Wind.

I performed this on a Bechstein D 282 which gives it that metallic and powerful sound.

Hope you all like it
