Shepard’s Lament (Schäfers Klage) on Grand Piano

Hope you’re all ready for some videos on grand piano, because the following 3 songs (the other 2 are coming) were recorded on a grand piano. The only issue, recording was done with a cellphone. So it’s a bit shaky and hazy, but nonetheless quite good.

The song is Shepard’s Lament (Schäfers Kläge), played at a recital at school.

Hope you guys enjoy the video!

Autumn Leaves – New Upload!

As most of you may have noticed, I haven’t upload a new video on YouTube since almost a year.

This was due to many reasons. No more though. Today; I have finally done the impossible uploaded a new video for your listening pleasure.

The piece is “Autumn Leaves,” composed by Joseph Kosma. It may not be Autumn anymore, but the song sounds great nonetheless.

Editing and syncing this video was pretty easy, compared to other uploads.

Maurice Ravel – Prélude

Well guys, I know there’s been some delays and I’m very sorry for that.

T’was working a lot on my gaming forum/blog (will reveal at the end of this month) and that made me very tired. Hence, I wasn’t able to upload a new video for like a month. (Make that 5 weeks.)

Anywho, been practicing this song for a while now. This song was originally used for sight-reading tests of Grade 8 Piano students. I didn’t do it as a sigh-reading thing… I just played it like I normally would.

The middle part of the song (where the hands go over one-another) is the hardest. The way to learn it? Practice, practice and practice.
As we all know, practice makes perfect – it’s even been shown if you practice a task for 1’000 hours, you will get very good at it. Now, don’t forget that it isn’t all in time. If you practice for more than 2 hours, then you’re doing something wrong. After 2 hours, your mental capicity and concentration gets very low; which translates into not much progress any more. (Might even hinder progress at times.)

 

Enough rambling talking…
I’m sure you’re here to see the next song I uploaded. It’s a short classical piece and-
