Handel's Harmonious Blacksmith
on: November 01, 2007, 12:21:31 AM
So, I've been considering attemting this piece. It will be pretty hard for me, but I like it and it would be pretty rewarding. So, just curious, have any of you people played this song before? Do you like it?

Played it about 34 years ago for a school concert and it went down very well.

Lovely graceful piece which i must play again now you have mentioned it.

Played it many years ago, when I was...13 or so?
I love it to death, well maybe not, but it's a good piece for intermediate students, one of the best(sounding) if I might add. Might come in handy for an encore.

That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything.  See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie.  But that's just me.

I've never heard of this piece, strangely enough.

Perhaps because it's not known to a lot of people... I don't think most people know this music like Fur Elise or whatever(unless you take  the Suzuki method, incidentally, this piece is in their last book).
