Today is the 88th day of the year, which means it's Piano Day.
Beethoven's Piano Sonata No 8 should serve, methinks!
Eight is such a nice number!

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Good choice. It struck me halfway that KISS once lifted that one theme into a song.Cody wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 10:13 amToday is the 88th day of the year, which means it's Piano Day.

You steered me to listen to quite a bit of my collected piano works today. Schubert's Erlkönig was a fitting finale.

I was torn between that and Leyenda (which Robbie Krieger used to such good effect in Spanish Caravan).

Did you try Keeper's film?Cody wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 5:32 pmI was torn between that and Leyenda (which Robbie Krieger used to such good effect in Spanish Caravan).
Keeper composes his own music which used to be played by his good chum, Tom Brier, who got mangled in a car crash back in 2016.Keeper wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 1:11 amHaven't played any of my pianos (I own three now) in quite some time, but I do arrange stuff for my MIDI-controlled player piano, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxG4zzX56_g

Re: International Dawn Chorus Day
nice, it always puts me off a bit at first with classical musicians ( not all of them) with the smug superior attitude . They take themselves too seriously.Cody wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 10:13 amToday is the 88th day of the year, which means it's Piano Day.

Besides Beethoven would have killed to get a piano like that..

Re: International Dawn Chorus Day
Nice? She's drop-dead gorgeous! More importantly, she plays beautifully!
Beethoven would've killed to get a Hammond organ with a volume control that went up to eleven!

Can you do fortissimo on a Hammmond? (besides turning it up to 11..)

Re: International Dawn Chorus Day
I thought, as cool as it sounds, you can't express the force of pressure on the tangents, which may dissatisfy Beethoven. At least reconsider killing for it.

Really? In the southern hemisphere surely?
Guerilla gardening sounds a bit dangerous.
