[samuelngkee]

Great performance!!!!!!

[LVB1770]

Thanks samuelngkee, I really love your playing!

[elquetocapiano]

rolipoli you are joking right?

I play piano myself and I like very much what I am hearing and beside that I know

how much dedication you need to play at that level!!

very good indeed keep on posting LVB!!!

[LVB1770]

Thanks elquetocapiano, rolipoli will never understand the depth of my playing.

My musical secret here is breathing. Listen close and you can hear me deeply inhaling before the crescendos and exhaling out of the decrescendos into the next phrase. This technique can help in really bringing oxygen into the brain to intensify and stimulate the spiritual connection to the music and to help bring it across to your audience at a higher level.

Thanks again, elquetocapiano!

[rolipoli]

how bad played... no talent, no nothing... awful

[arioso7]

I think you should not only be continuing your fantastic recording activity here on you tube, but the word must get out on your

professionally honed skills to record others who have been searching high and low for

quality results. Let this be the first trumpet to resound on your behalf as a great musician and master of recording techniques.

[arioso7]

I'll definitely take you up on that..

Thanks, Shirley K

[arioso7]

Nice playing, very expressive, beautiful nuances and your recording is definitely HIGH fidelity.. You have mastered it.

Shirley Kirsten, Pianist

CD baby

[LVB1770]

Thanks so much Shirley(arioso7)

Coming from such a great artist as yourself

that means a lot to me. I would love to record

you sometime and post it on you tube, especially your Scarlatti or Chopin or both!

All the best to you.

[BlackFoxG]

Your videos are always a great source of motivation because they prove that you can become a good pianist starting at an adult's ago! I started last year at the age of 22 and would be damn happy to play as good as you in maybe 5 years. Please keep posting such awesome videos.

[LVB1770]

Thanks very much BlackFoxG! It's Comments like yours that inspire me to push myself even more.I read a lot of books on piano technique and I listen to and watch as many great pianists as I can to learn as much as I can and I try hard to apply what I learn to my playing. Thanks again, You inspire me!

I see you are a George Li fan, me too. If you haven't heard Aimi Kobayashi search for her on you tube.

[metello31388]

I've added Scriabin's Etude n°11 op.8, Chopin's Nocturnes op.55 and Chabrier's Bourrée Fantasque. I hope you like them :)

[metello31388]

Wonderful ;)

[LVB1770]

Thanks metello31388. I glad I found you on you tube. I look forward to more of your playing.

[chad410]

very nice. but at about 29 sec you play a D natural. i think but I ll check it s D sharp. I liked the 2nd very much. like a lingering perfume from a house that has long been vacated by a lover.

[LVB1770]

Thanks Chad410! Maybe a slip of the thumb? I love your describtion of the 2nd! That

is the kind of thing I always look to find in music. I am so happy you are posting more videos, Peace!

[Pianoloverok]

This is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LVB1770]

Thank you very much Pianoloverok(George Li)

I always appreciate your comments and especially your playing! I look forward

to your future as a great artist in the

Classical world. All the best to you

and your family. You all have wonderful

things in life to look forward to and be

thankful for that. You are blessed!

[MagicSkryabin]

It's great like always.

[LVB1770]

Thanks so much MagicSkryabin!

[cubusdk]

It seems you have worked with the pianosound on this one, added some small amount of reverb. The result is excellent.

[LVB1770]

Thanks cubusdk, I put some mics in my front room and used a little reverb from my mixer and made sure my gain structure was as hot as possible which really helped.
