Piano Concert...ish

[Will Millar]

Hi all

 My local theatre group is doing a variety show on Sunday and I asked if I could play the piano - and thus I therefore have a twenty minute slot in the middle.

I will play (Nb. these aren't technically difficult pieces, but I am still learning piano so please be kind!!)

Song for Guy
Les Miserables Pieces
Handels Sarabande in D minor
Maple Leaf Rag
 Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition Selections

They may sound easy to you lot, but i think I am doing fairly well for someone who has never had a piano lesson in my life , but has been playing for 5 years

Anywho

Sounds great for an intermission concert a bit of something for everyone! Go for it All the best! - I love les mis some great ballads in there! Which bits of Mussorgsky Pics are you doing - I don't know your level really but some of them are pretty piggish becareful how you schedule them so you dont have any nasty pick ups - you dont want to play a prog thats on the knife edge. Be comfortable as much as is possible aquit yourself well and it'll lead to more opportunities

Good luck will - break a leg (left one is pref) ENJOY yourself!

Hi pianowelsh

Many thanks for the advice - this won't be my first concert (3rd actually  ) but lets hope it goes ok - I also forgot to say that it is on a STEINWAY PIANO!!!

I shall play, a few Promenades and possibly intertwine some of the other pieces ie, Great Gate, Baba Yaga, Tuileries. One thing about Mussorgsky is that I have the most .... affinity(?) with him, I find his music really enlightening and not easy but not difficult (if you see what I mean).

Just a quick note to also say ' Beethoven's Emperor Concerto' is also very nice to play

FINGERS CROSSED

Thanks Again

Will

Never mind - change of plan

They said they feel uncomfortable with me playing in the middle so they have said they don't want me to do it.

Oh well - thats a price for being rubbish obviously

Hey ho

Hey ho

not rubbish necessarily, but not enlightened of the beauty of real playing.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying

sorry to hear about your performance being canceled... that wasn't nice of them to invite you and then cancel!
