Title: Doggy Waltz
Post by: jaconiel on February 28, 2011, 10:34:49 PM

Hello All,

This is my first post here - I work in Denmark as a pianist and film producer, mainly with visual promotion of classical music. This is a little recording from one of my school tours - my goal is to tell the kids true stories about the creation of a music piece, accompanied by live projected movies. Did you know the true story behind Minute Waltz? Well - it was certainly not an ice-skating dog - but Chopin got inspired by Georges Sands little dog playing around! Valse du petit Chien. Voila - enjoy!

Best, Jacob

Danish is such a sweet language! (I'm from southern sweden, and lived in denmark for some time)
Anyway, I really liked it! Classical musicians need to show young (and old) people that our music isn't all lame and boring.
So, good job! :D

Have to say, I loved it, the piece fitted the video so well, awesome playing.

Looks like the kids liked it loads too, which is quite an acclompishment considering their age..

Love your accent to :)
