Hello Friends Very Happy

....er,,,, Shocked More Piano...I will do a lot of piano this year I fear....

This one is another improv. w/imp (improvisation with improvements Cool )... Mostly just removal of accidental wrong notes... and bringing too soft up...too loud down .., IF... they stick out to much... I like to take what I get when I can...., as many of you know...

This is Romanza... not really about a "person" , but in the style and sense of the "Romance" period... , Romance in the idealized sense.., or as the Italians might say.. (I Think..) Romanzare .., Almost fictionalized...:

http://www.korgforums.com/mp3/romanza.mp3

TURN it UP.... !!! ('till I get a new system in here...)

Thanks!!, for your support!!!! John (ellll) Very Happy

Hellow ellll

most romantic indeed, although you take a trip to supervenient places from time to time... the tonality of the piece is very sensible and strong

it does sound like something improvised - such as sitting next to a Piano and recording yourself on the fly.


i enjoyed listening to it all the way

romantic is my fav of all 'classical' styles, very nice dynamcis here, and there are many unexpected yet nice progressions here that keep it really very interesting, i have the sensation of standing over you as you play and watching the chords take shape in your hands, so of your runs are just beautiful, around 4:00 just love the swelling, then becomes small again yet stately, i feel i'm repeating my self to say, tweak this just a tad where necessary and publish for posterity, i do love your touch and your ear for this style is impeccable, very much enjoyed listning to this

Well, time for April,

I have NOT YET gotten to the last few new songs.... I will tonight if I can....

BUT:

Let me please, thank those who had time to listen...

Botega, for enjoying some of it, and thinking how I played it "on the fly" ,Which is what I did; Sharp .., for the relaxing feel he got... I intended it in much of it and it was recognized...: Stephen, a friend for several cycles, putting up with my fears, and deeming my songs good!!! WoW!! : and George, the one who has come through so well for us all, for ALWAYS giving comments that beat the grain from the husk, that cut to the chase....!! -- We are blessed indeed, with your kindness!! You will not be forgotten!

Yes Thanks to all, and I will myself, listen to the few I have neglected..

Your Friend....John (ellll) Very Happy

Looks like I missed this one...

Really enjoyable, very well played. I don't really have suggestions...though I think maybe there's a bit too much reverb. JMO.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi!! Pumpkin King,

I agree...., and it, as usual, leaves me at sea... All reverb. is strange to me...

I changed the orig. that I don't even recall the voice that was it's source..., simply be reducing the effects sound, and increasing the dry sound..., 'till it was better than the original.... (I used it, as it had a very realistic sound for the piano, other than the extreme reverb... The normal one given for the piano is not so good...), so I am not sure, with so many possible changes... what to do... I will spend some time trying to figure it out!!

Thanks so much for listening...

John (ellll)... Very Happy

Hi John

I just realised that I didn't leave any comment for this song yet, although I did listen a couple of times already.

No need to apologise for "doing a lot of piano this year"....I love the piano and really enjoy hearing your playing. It never ceases to amaze me how you play these songs from beginning to end in an improvisational way - one feels as though one is taken on a journey. The dynamics are beautifully done - lots of ebb and flow.

Looking forward to lots more beautiful music from you,

Regards from
Dee

Hi Dee, and Joet63........

Thanks so much for your kind comments and thoughts.....

Truly, it is a work of nonsensical simple minded fantasy; seems all that I can really do much of the time....

But it is from the heart... (or what is left of it...), and is just rather baldfaced improvisation slightly improved upon with some effects... But I live at times , for just this freedom of expression...!!!

Kindest regards, John (ellll) Very Happy
