Giulio Cinelli from Pianosolo.it guides us through this classic topic. Read more

What is this piece?
on: December 14, 2006, 09:00:46 PM
I think it's by Barber, but unfortunately I've lost the programme notes so I can't find out for sure. I swear I remember Josh Hillmann posting a video recording somewhere, but I can't find it.

Credit goes to pianist Mark Viner who gave a recital here at my house earlier on this year.

Thanks,
Henrah

Btw, I have learnt part of it by ear and it's done wonders for my octave technique. It's finally 'clicked' for my LH, but my RH still needs to learn to relax and not conflict the muscle movements.
