[MrJoelWyncott]

I have a great deal of respect for any completely self-taught musician that can play this piece. If I were wearing a hat I'd take it off to you.

[ai1888]

Awestruck! You play it really welL!

[MrJojowasaman]

Well played, very nice work.

[UKpiano]

@Kellybell95 its from a book called '24 Piano Transcriptions of Classical Masterpieces', it can be found on amazon, the arrangements are by Robert Schultz, cheers.

[hthedog]

Very well played! enjoyed very much, thanks for the post and well done!

[TheHumanSpirit]

I would just like to contribute to the litany of overwhelmingly favorable comments -

You play with such majesty....It's beautiful...

Thank you for putting a smile on my face this evening :) Truly inspirational.

Cheers from across the pond, Mark Fowler of the UK!

You have absolutely excellent technique for self teaching!!! Well done!! Does anyone know where I could get the sheet music for this?

I have to thank you, and this piece greatly. I used to be Grade8/Diploma... And recently I have been suffering with depression, and come to hate the piano immensely. But thanks to this piece and your wonderful playing of it I'm eager to learn it!

Please if anyone knows I'd be so thankful!!!

I am touched. I am playing this song on friday at my music instructers mothers feuneral. I play violin and we are playing orchestra accompany to him playing piano. I cry everyone I hear this song. Do you know the history of this price? Its quiet astonishing

[jmacpher1]

Great job, really wonderful. This arrangement is the best I've heard so far, I'm going to have to upgrade the version I'm playing.

[MrPianolee]

excellent performance! This is one of the most beautiful melodies ever written i think- I never get tired of playing this piece.

The Schultz arrangement is the best I've found for solo piano, you really did it justice here- well done!

[douglassmcann]

Truly such a gentle and controlled emotionalism....

Bravo performance..

In the film

Magical...

[FarleyTNG]

Excellent, very pleasing to listen to!

[TheThrobbs]

Do a full version of ''death on two legs'' by queen, there's only been a handful of people done the intro and murdered it trying to sing, however they've had in excess of 100,000 views, you could write and execute it beautifully. The intro is amazing, it would be interesting to see what you come up with. please i pray do it.

[flyer3008]

nice. i want to listen to ur own music, stuff that u've created. could ur next one be ur own? please.

[UKpiano]

@flyer3008 I really struggle to write to music, I feel I am no good at it, I can cime up with ideas but cant develop them, and my standards are too high that I set myself thus making it so difficult to come up with something I am happy with. I promise everyone I will try to come up with something though in the near future, thanks for listening as always ;)

@UKpiano

Life is to short to be full of yourself.

[internetjumbie]

@UKpiano As a writer, I can understand what you mean, but there's something you need to realise: crap, you can edit, but a blank page will only ever be a blank page.

[sexelby]

@UKpiano I think it's almost like saying to someone whom is fantastic at dancing, to then go and compose a piece of dance to a god standard. Yes some people can, but composition is a completely separate art in itself. Just because you are a fantastic performer like UK piano, does not mean you have the gift of being able to think of a tune. If you are stunning at performance, which you are, then work on that! You may even find that the more you play, the more ideas you get :) x

[bentley1938]

Beautiful inflection and feeling!

[everglade93]

absolutely amazing

[smile740]

It's so beautiful.... .... .... really beautiful music full of feelings and emotions.... I can't stop listening to this piece. Great performance.

[frankbuss]

Nice, gives me goosebumps. And now prelude in g minor op. 23 #5, please, doesn't look too complicated :-)

[inav90]

another piece perfectly executed!! :D:D this is also played in Somewhere in Time..beautiful!!

[mattvid00]

so smooth and thoughtfully played!

[amrosik]

[Rockhopper1]

Bravo, extremely beautiful, had a bad week and this has completly washed away all the stress, first time I heard this I was 8 yrs old and it was in a film called Somewhere In Time, I cried for hours after,

Thank you,

Rich

[CrusaderBeach]
