[tds]

1. turina's clowns and trapecios volentes from el circo (dedicated to pianistimo)
2. mompou's jeunes felles au jardin from scenes d'enfants (dedicated to thalbergmad)

all comments are welcome. thank you so much. teguh

[littletune]

Well I like it a lot and I think it's really cool and beautiful and great !   But I can't say anything smart cause I don't know that much about music  I hope some people will comment who know a lot about music and piano! 
(oh I just know some French and it's jeunes filles not felles but you probably know that anyway you just made a mistake) 
Oh and I would wanna have your cd and I would listen to it a lot cause i like it!

thanks, littletune. hahaha, u cool n correct about the spelling. me knows no french

Sounds beautiful.  It's gonna be a CD with a "theme" I presume.  Do you already have a title for the CD.   What are the other tracks ? Did you say CD's ? Are you producing more than one CD at the time ? I like CD's with a theme, it's definitely a CD that I would pick up when I see it, look at it, try to get to the booklet, eventually buy it.
I wish you a lot of succes with it.

[tds]

thank you, alessandro. indeed, the theme is "scenes of childhood", which comprises mompou's scenes d'enfants, debussy's children's corner, schumann's kinderzenen and turina's el circo. yes, 3 cd's this year, the other 2 cd's are burgmuller op. 100 and op.109, brought to the world in the spirit of piano pedagogy. btw, talking about pedagogy, next year i will record all clementi's, kuhlau's and beethoven's piano sonatinas and "favorite classical pieces"

it's just my way of showing gratitude towards your being here with us. thanks for shaking our stomach guts rather periodically    warmest, teguh

Thank you for introducing me to this charming music. I had not heard these composers before but now I shall pursue them. As Henri Sauget said, there is such a thing as serious happiness, and I think this music embodies it. Your technique is admirably suited to the idiom - lively, yet also, in a strange way, profound - in much the same way as Satie can be profound. It also cautions me that, contrary to fashion, it is unnecessary to play hundreds of notes at ninety miles an hour to make a pianistic impression - something I would no doubt do well to remember in my own improvisation.

thank you for your kind words, ted. yes, indeed it is music that we care about, not mere notes and speed. when one is honest and truthful enough to humble oneself in order to find the epicentrum of music, one is to step into the magical quality of it - full of unspoken, timeless, therapeutic, and divine characteristics. all things dematerialized, whereas the sound of humanity and the tonality of its virtue rise sublimely. warmest regards, teguh

haha... yes i like to use it when i can't say my thoughts in words. maybe if i have more time. i'm not too good in computer so it takes long time for me to learn new things  (and i use emoticons again ~)
