Just performed a world premiere...
on: December 06, 2006, 08:52:35 PM
...on a digital piano, a Roland HP1 to be exact, but it went really well and sounded really good! I made quite a few mistakes, especially having to restart a certain section, but everyone said they didn't notice them! Great! ;D

It was the world premiere of Serenade by Barnaby Southgate, a friend of mine, and you can find a video to it in my signature, though I think I should record a new one seeing as I've improved greatly on the piece since then. It was part of my schools christmas miscellany and I only got to play that one piece, but it was a great feeling!!! I was quite jittery, and had to spend some very embarrasing moments trying to stick a folded envelope underneath the pedals so they would work, and I even got an applaud for doing that! It was great  ;D ;D

Just thought I'd tell you guys!

Btw, I'm going to be playing it again to Barnaby later on this evening on my Fazioli so he can witness the true sound I can create, wooopy!!!  8) Man I'm so hyped up, better eat some chocolate!

W00T W00T

And I just played the same composition to the composer on my wonderful Fazioli, and he liked it even more!

Hey henrah, that's really great for you!


I still watch your video of that piece sometimes, cause I think it's a great piece. And isn't it great if people don't notice your mistakes?... I bet the composer noticed them, if he was there when you were performing.  ;)

Yeah he said he noticed them, but they didn't distract from the overall flow or feel of the piece.

Ok I've been motivated to record that Serenade again, as I really feel that you deserve better than the video in my signature. As always, the pianist is his own worst critic :)

Nope it's not just you.... darn it... well, I guess that means I must record a new version seeing as I don't have the videos any more! I thought they'd be safe with savefile, but I guess not.

I'll get to it as soon as I can.
