Fascinated by this audio singal that was coming out of my husband's amateur radio tranceiver, I had a go at playing along with it. It kind of reminded me of Solfa tune from Steven Spielberg's film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Quite fun! Amateur radio enthusiasts out there, do you recognise the location of this signal? ;) Recorded with iPadPro (audio) and Sony RX100iii (video) Yamaha gr...

Soundscape improvisation #63 (photos from our trip to Wakayama, Japan) Experimenting with pentatonic flavour after my in depth study of Japanese pentatonic scales that I posed last year. Loosely following Koizumi’s Tetrachord Theory (although just 3 notes but rather focussed on the interval of perfect 4th with what what goes in between). Those of who are interested in Koizumi’s theory, a brief ...
Gypsy jazz musette waltz - 'Indifférence' by Tony Murena and Joseph Colombo - piano solo

I've been wanting to learn this classic gypsy jazz musette walt tune 'Indifférence' on guitar or mandolin but it's not going to happen very soon, so I've decided to learn the notes first on piano but then I ended up having fun with it, although just the AB part for now. Here's my take on 'Indifference' written by Tony Murena and Joseph Colombo. Something Chopinesque about it, so the notes felt ...

Soundscape composition on piano #1 photography Svetlana Gumerova (free use under the Unsplash licence) This one is composed rather than improvisation for a change. Improvisation often takes me to unexpected places in the moment of playing but with composition, it takes me to deeper places. I enjoy both.

    I have to admire the composer for writing music that most would consider to be about 75 years past it's sell by date. But it proves it can still be done!. This is beautifully played, the phrasing is gorgeous.

    • @ToKuYo2009
      @ToKuYo2009 2 роки тому

      I returned to the Piazzolla's original score for cello for the new arrangement, so the original missing parts is now in place instead of Gubaidulina's virtuosic parts. There're some performaces of it here on UA-cam, if you search. Thanks for asking!

    Hi Yukie what grade would your version be please would you know best wishes Denise

    • @ToKuYo2009
      @ToKuYo2009 7 років тому

      I'd say grade 4 (UK exam standard), simple melody part is not that tricky but when the melody line is layered with another line (part writing), that's what makes it a little challenging hence more harmonically fuller and pleasing. Good luck!

  • @interiorsde
    @interiorsde 8 років тому

    thankl you very much - I did pass my Grade 3 with the version in the ABRSM of Both Sides Now - however yours seems a tad more detailed, albeit beautiful, would you have any tips on how to tackle it, as the piano does not come easy to me at all. Sadly !!! i only wish it did, but I love the beast so much !!! Any tips would be much appreciated Denise

    • @ToKuYo2009
      @ToKuYo2009 8 років тому

      Yes, it's a little bit more intricate compared to Grade 3 version, because of the added harmonies and syncopated rhythms to make the sound fuller. I'd recommend you start working on the left hand part only and get really comfortable with it. Since your right hand is free, see if you can sing along the song whilst your left hand is playing, then you'll hear how the left hand part fit into the song. This will surprisingly help you greatly in acquiring coordination between the hands! If you listen to Joni's original version, you'll notice I modified the melody line quite a bit to make it more suitable for piano solo playing. You may try getting yourself familiar with the song first to be able to sing along or just humming. Since I followed the bar (measure) count exactly as Joni's original, singing will fit no problem with my version. Then you can work on the right hand part. If you find adding all notes in difficult, you can thin them out as you wish Technically, here're some tips: Your fingers should feel strong as steel but your wrists and arms are always relaxed and flexible. Also make sure your thumbs feel always relaxed. I hope it helps. Thank you for taking such interest in learning this version!

    • @interiorsde

    • @ToKuYo2009
      @ToKuYo2009 8 років тому

      Thanks for listening. Just be careful with the volume setting. It was too loud although we tested beforehand... Also, it'd been better positioned slightly outside the end curve of the piano, then it'd have picked up the hall acoustics too. Something I've learned over some period. I hope it helps.
