Gnossienne No 5

[crayonfou]

good work. I am taking a break from practicing mine and will be posting my version. Your piano has great sound.

Me gusta mucho como suena el piano, pero creo que la tocas tan mal por el tempo y por que hay NOTAS QUE NO TOCAS o que cambias, que no puedo darte una comentario general positivo. No me gusta la versión.

I like so much the sound of that piano, but I think you play the Gnossienne so badly, by tempo and because there are NOTES THAT YOU DON'T PLAY or that you change, so I can't give you good words about. I don't like that version.

[Elcomunisto]

no responde tampoco al tempo.. hmm.

[wilver72]

this song is really good and you played it very well

if its not too much too ask could you send me the music sheet?

[xanderduckworth]

Thanks! Sorry, I don't have the sheet music in an electronic format.

[Klangzauberer]

The rythmn sounds quite strange and incoherent to me. Try to establish a steady beat in the left hand.

[skalosz7]

very nice, it is true that the most difficult thing is to play the silent between notes

[manchetknoop]

You played it nice, but I like this song more when it is played more 'jumpy'

[psyentist420]

thats great i love this one

[bluejade1]

The best version I ever heard of that song.

You have some sense of the XIX century, it's all it takes (with some talent, of course) to play this wonderful music...

Thanks! :)

Wonderful. I walked out of the room and genuinely forgot I had a YouTube video plugged into my speakers. If you are planning to upload a slower version that would be even better. But you in no way made the sadly typical mistake of butchering Satie with speed - just a tiny little bit too quick. Very, very well done anyway

[xanderduckworth]

Thanks Alasdair.

[ldv250]

just a little more slowly but it's good job

[flierpie123]

Oh very, very nice. But I think you can slow it down just a bit... just let it breath a bit more. Otherwise... beautiful

[xanderduckworth]

Thank you! You are right it is a bit too fast. I might upload a slower version.

[123Leigh123]

C'est la plus belle ici. Bravo

[xanderduckworth]

Merci bienne!

[mmox727]

i love it

[crayonfou]

Please play it again and this time have the camera over the piano. I am studying this piece right now and would love to see the fingering.

Ciao.

This is my favourite of the Gnossiennes (followed by No. 1). The ONLY version of No. 5 available on YouTube it seems and I think you did a pretty good job. Have you heard Pascal Roget's version? He plays it slower than you, although the little turns and trills are played faster. I think his version is the definitive one, but yours is good enough to make it onto my playlist. Thanks!

[xanderduckworth]

Thanks! Yes I do have Pascal's CD of Sartie works. I dream of playing like him!

[chandlerlewis]

I've heard some versions played really fast. Pianists must see all those hemi-semi-demi-semi-hemi quavers and put on their running shoes (is my guess). Of course, it sounds hideous and makes me turn the CD into a Frizbee!
