[vamtire]

I love this video,great music

[PSearPianist]

@vamtire Thank you very much!

Beautiful song. There is a bit of annoying resonance on one note D flat I think - my music rest does something similar.

[PSearPianist]

@pianodudeler Thank you for that - maybe the piano was slightly out of tune at the time, or sometimes the piano light vibrates if it is out of position.

[juanbear1989]

very nice. :)

[PSearPianist]

@juanbear1989 Thank you!

[pgdoyen]

This is quite beautiful, I've never heard Pergolesi on the piano before...it works surprisingly well.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. This is not pure Pergolesi of

course, but Joseffy has captured the mood of the piece very well

Is there a way I can download this arrangement? I would love to use if for a ballet that I am choreographing. Thanks.

this song is so elegant. i sung it at a music festival and got a superior rank. i love it so much and you were amazing.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you - and congratulations on your own effort at the music festival. The piece has great potential for expression, and is therefore an excellent choice for a competition.

This song is beautiful. You played it especially well, too(5 stars). I fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it. I just hope I can do it justice on my viola when I have to preform it.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you! The piece always works well on lower stringed instruments, and is often done on cello. Work hard at it and I'm sure your audience will really enjoy it!

[dagoodboy9]

i go to a performing arts school and i had this piece as a test, and this video made me get an A...thank you very much!!

[PSearPianist]

That is wonderful news. I am very pleased to have been a help to you!

[st3phaniew]

ah ive also played it with a piano. it goes so well together!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you Stephanie. I have accompanied the song played on cello, and it certainly sounds very good on that instrument.

[st3phaniew]

beautifull.. ive gotten so many compliments playing this on the cello but i think it was more the song than my playing :) its such a moving song and you play it wonderfully..

[nevvamodel]

This is amazing. I'm playing this on my violin and my friend on her viola. Beautiful piece!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. I wish you and your friend every success with your study of the piece. I have sometimes accompanied cellists playing it.

[cinnamongirl143]

it's a beautiful song and you played it beautifully.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you very much for your comment. I' am sorry it has taken me so long, but I did not get the usual email to notify me!

[Gatohnee]

This is absolutely wonderful. I'm playing this on my cello. Beautiful.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. I have accompanied cellists playing this and the melody suits the instrument very well.  I hope you are enjoying playing it.

[lomoto69]

Absolutely wonderful playing! I love this rendition.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you very much!

[MetalReaper666]

this is a very beautiful piece, i'm singing it at my concervatory too...excellently played!

[PSearPianist]

Thanks - good luck with your own performance!

[ColinMeloy91]

Excellent job btw!

[PSearPianist]

Thanks!

[MuffinChan1683]

Played beautifully! I have to sing this as a solo in my concert choir, and although it's not in the strict time, it was still helpful to practice to.

[PSearPianist]

I'm glad it was helpful and hope your concert goes well!

[Kirmashni]

Really beautiful.. I'm singing this for school (which is kinda ironic when my name really is Nina) and I really needed some piano to practice to. Never thought I would hear it being played so well..

[PSearPianist]

Thank you for that! Note that this transcription is rather 'free' so may not be in as strict time as what you will be singing to.

[regina0311]

Congratulations from Brazil!

You played so beautifully!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you!

[grodob]

What a super piece of music, and played so beautifully as always.....

[PSearPianist]

Thanks - it is a good piece of music, and an excellent transcription.
