thanks to koji and kassa - i can listen with the score. so very nice! printed out all 39 pages. whew. koji! you are so amazing! the theme gradually comes in. how cool. not many people, i bet, can play this. there's a comicalness of this piece in the beginning - it's 'too staccato' in my mind. correct me if i'm wrong (which i could be way off), but i think the staccato is just meant to say - don't let the sound blend too much (playing the staccato as a sort of separateness and not all out staccato - like you did toward the end with more melody coming through). still, it's really amazing!!! i like the last parts better than the beginning. you were more 'connected' with the piece. that was AMAZING!
ps. do you think i can get very much piano music on cell phone recorder? i'm so stupid when it comes to recording. my playing is nowhere near yours, but i'm anxious to record something - and fairly stuck because hubby's equipment is downstairs and takes a while to set up. plus, i think he sold his shepps microphones.
koji, in those pics last year - i don't think you lack for possible girlfriends. you're just avoiding them, right?! with your playing, you could just walk right in to the sports illustrated office and put on the sunglasses and walk off witha model. but, i would suggest - before you do - that you at least play one concert again close to philly. the weather is bad here in the winter and with driving problems, i couldn't get to your last concert. do you think, or would you consider playing at or near west chester uni? they will be opening (or have opened) their new music building soon. (all steinways). suppose it's a long drive, though. hmmm. just a thought.
