Chopin - Fantaisie Impromptu (with variations)
on: April 09, 2013, 07:55:43 AM


I've been playing this piece for 7 years now, and in this video it was around the 5th year.   I'm having a nostalgia attack tonight.  I found my original post of this piece on this forum back in 2006, and now I can't stop thinking about high school! 

Back to the music-- so I played through the beginning as Chopin intended, and because I was in such a good mood that day, I decided to add in a little something else.  Hopefully this doesn't offend you, this was simply for fun! 

:)

Cheers,
Kyle

Interesting variation .... NICE .... enjoyable for a change ... I don't think Chopin would mind .... as you said ....  it was simply for fun!! :)  THANKS!

you said- I found my original post of this piece on this forum back in 2006 ....  do you have a link or what was your user name then?

Btw ... went through some of your videos at YT (you have 400++ videos!!!) and really enjoyed the Faure | Pavane, op. 50 .... plan to listen to more.

Thank you so much!  I'm actually using my original account from 2006, and the thread was here:

Pavane is a nice little piece!   Faure is good, but when it comes to French, Ravel is where it's at! Who's your favorite French composer?

Wish I thought of that-- this was an impromptu arrangement though :/   Thanks for watching/leaving feedback!
