Gene at the Piano
« on: January 09, 2012, 02:28:25 am »
Thought I'd share a few clips of me performing.
First two are mostly refined, third one is the one I'm working on and struggling with.
I put the third one in to not be a show-off basically, so you can see the struggle. Bitch of a piece.
Don't mind the gym clothes.



J. BRAHMS - Intermezzo in A Op. 118 [First Section]
 When a chick asks me to play for them, this is the one I play.
 My former teacher said this is my best example of musical interpretation.

J. BRAHMS - Intermezzo in A Op. 118 [First Section]

EDIT: Oh wow that still of the vid looks intensely over-emotional



J.S. BACH - The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II [Prelude XX in A minor]
This is such a chromatic piece, and it sounds easy, but in fact it is quite difficult.
Love it to bits. Probably my most sound piece right now.
For the classical music experts here, forgive the accidental rubato caused by unfamiliar fingering.

J.S. BACH - The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II [Prelude XX in A minor]



J.S. BACH - The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II [Fugue XX in A minor]
This piece and the last are meant to be played as a pair (a prelude and fugue).
I've mastered the prelude, but the fugue is a real slutface.
I'm trying,,, and by the way it's meant to be played almost 50% faster than what I'm doing...
Even then, I've never played it this fast until I decided to record it for you guys... that's why I keep stopping. I'm going too fast to remember what happens next... and you can see I'm not reading the music.

One word. AMAZING. Really good fingering and good music. It kind of helps me get out of my runescape stress and raging from not having enough cash for 10 rune sets. REALLY GOOD. Wish you the best in practicing more on the 3rd song.

Gene,

I am a big classical music fan. I've also always wished to learn how to play the piano better but I haven't had the time. It is one of my life's ambitions, though. You've done a fantastic job already and I'm sure you will only continue to get better. Are you able to play any Mozart yet? Also, as a personal request, I'd really like to hear you play River Flows in Your.

Proud to have served as the leader of the Wilderness Guardians.

I can really see the muscles rippling when you play this, and from the look on your face I can believe you called that piece a slutface. You seem so polite playing.

I can play River Flows in You Brent :)
It's not that difficult to learn really, and is beautiful, as is all Yiruma work :P

Very nice Gene, I thought you coped really well with the third piece, Bach isn't easy, so well done!
Also - have you been working out a lot recently? Nice lower arm-age there :)
