Doggy Waltz
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
