Hi all,

I have just posted a piano version of "Playground love" from the Air group if you want to have a look (sheet music is available in the video description for those who are interested):


Bye'

Lovely!
I'd love to hear you on a real piano-the pedal on digital instruments is never very realistic.

Hi mozarta,

I think you've come a long way in your art and style since you first began recording several years ago. This was a really nice performance.  I enjoyed listening to it.  Thanks for sharing it.

Clearly played, with assurance of phrase, sensitivity of rhythm and control of dynamics. Let us hear more please.

Technically, its all fine.
But it sounds very cheap, a bit like how a computer would play it. Lack of voicing of the melody, hardly any dynamics in tempo and the bad quality composition does not help either, although thats nothing you can do something about.

So my advice is: Either work on a serious composition, or work on one of those other points i mentioned above.

thx Gyzmo for watching
Although I do not agree on the quality of the composition, I actually think there are good harmonies in this piece originally which sound pretty to me (and this is very subjective as always as it is probably the case for you if you don't like the original composition which can be understandable).

True, 'good' is relative to the person. I'll change it to 'highly unoriginal' if you prefer it that way. The piece is quite repetitive, something any person during his composition study can come up with, but will get an 'average' degree for.

Thats no critisism towards you, because you're just playing it. I'd Just advice you to play something of a higher quality, so you can express higher quality too ;)

I understand, but still quiet like the original piece:)
Anyhow, I try to diversify the covers on my channel (did a few Mozart symphony "covers" if ever you want to check those or others). I can agree that some pieces are richer from a melodic standpoint than this one but from a "pop" point of view this song has its identity too I think''
