Thoughtful Day
on: September 11, 2011, 08:29:29 PM
This is from June 6, 2011 and I didn't really think of posting it here so far, but perhaps, as it is verily another thoughtful day today, it might be just right.

Niceone, Wolf. I always like the beginning. sort of remids me of tolling bells. I hope to hear more.
Funny? How? How am I funny?

Hi pianoplayjl, thank you :)

Indeed now that you say it, I hear the bells too :)

I am fascinated by bells :)

The second, a bit Schubert-like theme is following me often in my mind, recently :)

I mean that theme (respectively development) from 3:10 to the recapitulation at 5:00 which somehow has a bit of a Schubertian touch, to me. Anyway, thank you :) And even so many exclamation points :)  8)

 Pianowolfi,

Really enjoyed your piece and also the video of it on YouTube. When I first started to think about it on pianaostreet it somehow made me think of the tall Redwoods in California so when I went to the YouTube version I was surprised that you were filming in a forest. Very nice...

Hi Chopinatic, I'm playing on a Steinway B :) thank you for listening :) Indeed perhaps I should now link the video too:



It's one of my attempts to capture a significant moment in time, in my life, like in a diary.
Actually I have been to California, I have been in the redwoods and I was deeply impressed!
