Hi to everyone!! As i've said in my last piano duet post, I was going to post some interesting things on my duet channel. So, today I'd like to show you "Der Erlkönig" It's a piece composed by Schuber and based on a text from Goethe inspired on a german legend. It's a very dark composition...

Well, I post the Carnival of the Animals. It's a very ingenious piece composed by Saint-Saëns who wanted to do a piece that represent the animals (for exemple the swan, the elephant...) using the different sounds of the instrument for that. What we play is a version arranged by Lucien Garban. Thank ...

Hi to everyone! I'd like to share with you my interpretation of this masterpiece created by the virtuoso pianist Lola Astanova. :) It's a theme and variations based on the famous Christmas Carol "Jingle Bells" and in my opinion it's very well-done piece. Well, here you have and... Merry Ch...

My mother did it for the concert!

Hi to everyone! :D Here you have the Danse Macabre, a masterpiece composed by Camille Saint-Saëns for the orchestra, based on a poem from Henri Cazalis (so we can say that's a symphonic poem) The transcription was done by Liszt and this arrangement (harder than the Liszt's one, what isn't small xD) ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yLDvN6MLCE Hi to everyone! :) Well, today i'd like to show you the most difficult piece I've ever played (at the moment). It's the "Étude" number 1 from Godowsky on Chopin's Études. It's the first verision of the "Étude" 1 op 10 from Chopin (that ...

Hi to everyone! Today I'd like to show you one of the pieces that I played recently in a concert. ;) It's the Étude #1 composed by Frédérik Chopin. It's, in my opinion, very difficult because you have to play the arpeggios very fast and it's hard to keep a continuity between them. For me, this is on...

Hi to everyone! Today, I want to show you a little more of Moszkowski, Haha! :) Yes, this recording is of the first of the twelve Études "Per Aspera" from Moszkowski. Here you have a little more of Moszkowski. This one is the second of the Études from Moszkowski. I played first one and sec...

Hello to everybody! :) I want to show you a new recording. In this case is the Prélude number 28 from the opus 20 from Frédéric Chopin. This Prélude is called "Funeral march" (for obvious reasons) and it has been called "Prélude of the chords" by Hans von Bülow due to his progres...

Hi to everyone! Well, as you may remember, three months ago (at the end of November) I put a video of one of my interpretations which was the difficult and virtuoso "Rondo Capriccioso" composed by Felix Mendelssohn (opus 14). It's a piece very used for the competitions due to its big techn...

Hi to everyone! :) This is my interpretation of "Rondo Capriccioso" from Felix Mendelssohn. It's a big and fantastic piece and I'd like you to watch my perfomance. The image's quality is bad, but the sound's quality is rather acceptable. So, thank you for watching this video and I hope you...

Hi to everyone!  :) I wanted to post this video. It's the "Étude VIII" from Jensen, played by me. It's a minor mode piece and not very slow. It's the only piece that I've played (for the moment) from this lord (Adolf Jensen) The video has some irregularities, but you can watch it perfectly...

Hi everyone!  :) I have decided to post my interpretation of the Invention number 14 in B flat Majeur composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. This video was recorded three years ago. It's a short but very nice piece. It has a pretty melody that is being repeated in both hands. It's the invention number f...

Hi everyone! This is my perfomance of "Scherzo" or "Caprice" (it has both names) of the Mendelssohn's op 16 piece. It's the second piece of the three piece that this opus has. It's a fast and short piece. It was very funny and interesting to play this piece because it has a diffi...
