Rorem: Toccata

Staccato Improvisation

A setting of a poem of mine from around 2008 - here the singer is represented by a virtual violin - the solo violin from East/West Symphonic Orchestra. ( i'd welcome a message from a singer interested in performing/recording this song ) 


The Poem

Out on the Bridge

Out on the bridge
Above where the water's load 
Shatters
On the hunkered trestle

Below the white rage of the crashpoint
Generative
Quick cooling
To a fervent complexity
Of sparks and whorls

This out ahead
Slow
Unburning
Into the living sleep of river

Out on the Bridge

A Little Bit Of Benjamin Britten And A Lot Of Toads (Concerto For Toads And Orchestra). 😉

CONCERTO FOR TOADS and ORCHESTRA (A Little Bit Of Benjamin Britten And A Lot Of Toads)

A while ago I uploaded a pianoimprovisation "Autumn". I actually made it several years ago, but first uploaded it to SC some time ago. 
One day, Jeff contacted me and asked if he could orchestrate it, and of course - I agreed! So fun! 
Even though we have never met, the music is international, reaches out despite all differences - in both geography and language, cultural differences, religion or culture... 
All we know - is that music touches hearts - in spite of all our differences. Over all, what I know about Jeff - is actually quite little! Still we have made a bit music together! 
I am really proud of the result!

You can check out more beautiful music at his page, at jtcomposr : soundcloud.com/jtcmposr/tracks

Take care everybody! 
Sincerely Yours,
Marianne.

Ètude Nr.10 for Piano Solo

I enjoyed playing this lovely piece of piano music by R. A. Moulds so much!

Under the Leaves of Neldoreth by R. A. Moulds

My warmest thanks to everyone stopping by for listening to my tracks, the most of the representing a  'REVIEW   OF THE PAST TIME PIANISTS' INTERPRETATIONS ON THE HISTORICAL PIANO ROLLS, and in addition to them, also to a minor but growing  LISTS of MY MY OWN RENDITIONS, all of the latter representing a variety of piano music, & some pipe-organ classics, - and  TO THE Growing LISTS OF (just lately done and reproduced)  TRANSCRIPTIONS OF VARIOUS CHAMBER MUSIC CLASSICAL PEARLS FOR TWO PIANOS.
A HEADSET IS RECOMMENDED for optimal sound experience!
This kind of 'touching' on these old pre-sound-rec. era works by the great performers of the past, and giving my sound to these old 'punch rolls',  makes me feel  deep humbleness, .and I wish that this modest attempt to bring these  performances alive will satisfy you listening to them!
To introduce myself...
I am a Finnish M.D., PhD. and Hand Surgeon (now retired), previously when young with 10 years of professionally orientated piano studies at Turku Conservatory in 1965-1975, partly  along with medical University studies. 
The digital sound techniques have become very familiar to me already from 1980's along with my university research work  
and my musical activities.
As continuation to my musical and professional experience, I have, during the last few years of my retirement, adopted a music historical challenge
to bring the past time major and minor pianists, prior to sound-recording era, onto the same 'start line' with the present pianists, by making their presentations, played onto 'punch rolls' i.e. piano rolls, audible with modern digital techniques. This wouldn't be possible without the pioneering  efforts of Richard Stibbons, Wayne Stahnke, Terry Smythe, Warren Trachtman, Spencer Chase, and others, who developed the optical digitizing techniques of the piano rolls, and digitized them.

The main part of my recordings here in SC consists of selection recorded by me from optically digitized piano-rolls** (from 1910's on or earlier, classical and 'vintage era'). These recordings of mine are not and will not be commercially unavailable. - The rolls were first optically scanned and converted into a digital form by diverse operators** (see also to the info of each piece). The pieces here were partly (minor part) picked from various open net sources, publicly available, but mainly from the huge archive (n=ca.5000) of digitized copies copies of the original reproducing piano rolls, made available to me by one of the pioneers of roll digitizing tehchniques (willing to keep anonymous), and then recorded from this archive mainly with virtual grand piano (called by me 'Bluethner Model One') modified/re-designed by me, as well as the rec settings. 
Also a minor selection of my own renditions among my records can be found here, included on my playlist 'Bach Goes Virtual', the name of the list telling something about the techniques used for getting the end result... The list includes various organ works by J.S.Bach and others, and also a few piano renditions of mine. Then there are included also various pieces which have been in my repertoire, but here played mainly by the  'guest' great players of the past (before the sound recording era).
MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO THE NOBLE DONOR  OF THIS INVALUABLE PIANO ROLL MATERIAL FOR MY USE!!!
My Sincere Thanks also to The Player Piano Group, UK, for providing me their permission to use the information about the piano rolls collected and provided on their web page ( https://rolls.playerpianogroup.org.uk ),  and for simplifying my short historical presentations of these renditions on their re-publication here!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO EVERYONE  OF YOU FOR LISTENING, AND FOR YOUR 'LIKES' & COMMENTS !
YOUR LISTENING & FEEDBACK IS TRULY APPRECIATED..!!.
Use of good headphones or speakers will make your music experience more enjoyable!
Best wishes, all the best
Veikko
