Summer of 42 - Piano solo

[3725mustang]

Tastefully done. great rendition

[kutuzoff1812]

I can't but agree with all those comments below. This is the best improvised masterpiece I've ever heard. Would you be so kind to publish the notes. No matter would it be pdf, midi or just macro photos of your handwriting, i think, generations would be grateful to you for educating them how to create such unique and incredible emotions. On my opinion, this version of the song should be written down for ages as Chopin's Beethoven's and others' masterpieces

[Rafaelrgui]

... Bravo!!!... Bravissimo!!!...

[angiemamdouhazmy]

Splendid...

[fizzy1507]

Beautiful ...

[lumabi25]

Beautifully played, thank you. A wonderful piece of music from a wonderful movie.

[kaisi]

Dunno what to say...

Very Jazz, very "Geez". :)

[clapady]

Haunting and evocative. I like your minimalist version better than the razzle dazzle of either of the two Nero versions posted here on YouTube.

[PianistaItaliano]

@clapady thanks

[metalrocker1962]

This is what I wanted to hear today , I hear these in my head and see the story unfold as I walk around my town

[swillhite2002]

I liked u far before u ever recorded "THE SUMMER KNOWS" and long after, I keep returning to it. I love this song so much, very few times in my life, I've ever heard that song as special as the way u play it. U truly give it something extra special. Life goes by so fast, I wish, a moment, and often imagine siting with u at the piano for an evening, having wonderful musical conversations, u are truly one of my favorite jazz pianists in the world. I always wish u life, and great happiness my friend

[PianistaItaliano]

@swillhite2002 Thanks so much,

I heard your composition, you made a really great work.

Best Regards

[dani96ela]

i want to play in my piano this song it's the most beautiful song that i ever heard .......

:) 

[JokinJoe]

Very, very nice playing! Can you tell me what model digital piano that is? It has a rich tone.

[OroloroSM]

Lovely..this theme was running in my head this cool night.

[swillhite2002]

My wonderful dear friend, oh how I love to hear u play and visit ur channel so very often. ...and this is beyond, way beyond description, Peter Nero can't even come close to this, u nailed it my friend. I'd love to sing with u sometime-check out my channel, pick the track, "WHY DO PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE" for some crazy reason, it's been a hot one as far as views on my channel. I'd love to collab with u backing me in jazz, well check me out sometime - I think we could jive together nicely!

[PianistaItaliano]

@swillhite2002  Thank you, it's much appreciated

[okrabay]

germans are the best piano players for sure.

[donkingcpa]

From some of your vidoes it appears that you play in a hotel somewhere in Germany. Would it be an invasion of your privacy to ask where? Would love to come and listen when I am in Europe this summer.

[danolson68]

Basically he wants to hang out with you in a hotel room.

[EricEnvy]

amazing - really well played - 5 *****

Nice information about the story, in the info-section.

[PianistaItaliano]

You are welcome

Otavio Augusto Rossi Vieira :-)

Thanks for listening!

[donkingcpa]

That is one of the finest renditions of that piece I have ever heard. You must be a professional musician. If you ever get a scanner I would love to see this piece and many of your other transcriptions.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks donkingcpa, at moment I have no scanner, but sometimes I upload the midi-files of some of my versions, which can be converted to score.For example Sophisticated Lady - Piano improvisation. Just have a look when you have time :)

[donkingcpa]

I have downloaded that one and converted it. Could you load Summer of 42?

[PianistaItaliano]

donkingcpa, what you mean?

[donkingcpa]

Could you download the Midi to divshare

[PianistaItaliano]

Hi donkingcpa,I did not make a midi-file for this song, was just played, sorry.

[Zorrofaute]

C'est vrai que cette version est magnifique,bravo et merci pour cette parenthèse émotionnelle...

[WomackPhotoKCMO]

THE saddest piece of music ever written.

[suileile2007]

[edcastelli]

Amazing!

[titobacha]

[cujazztrpt]

Very nice playing...anyway you could e-mail me a scanned copy of the piece?

[PianistaItaliano]

thanks cujazztrpt, really sorry but I have no scanner :-(

[Shubael1809]

di niente.... I used to think I could "gioco il pianoforte".

I'm now reminded what real talents sounds like. Do you have a CD?

CAVOLO - what talent I'm dumbstruck.

[Shubael1809]

just sublime................ one of the best renditions of this classic I've heard.

[PianistaItaliano]

grazie mille Shubael1809 :)

[shankandbrisket]

You have the touch. Superb.

[redrosephantom05]

OK, so I love almost all of your songs!! They are so great!! 5 Stars!!! I made a playlist of most of them and just keep listening through them. I'll probably add 100 views to each of them on the list by the time this year is over! Keep up the amazing work!! An awed fan!

[halupadude]

this song is so much easier on a non-weighted keyboard for everyone wanting to play this

[jmaley5]

You are very, very good. I love your style of play, and your varied arrangements of great compositions. Everyone should also check out your arrangement of Cole Porter's "Night And Day"......BRAVO!!!

[PianistaItaliano]

Thank you very much Johnny!

[Creolelady281]

Lovely! Just lovely!

[PianistaItaliano]

Thank you very much, Pam!

[equincadmon8]

this IS michel legrand actually playing so - Italian?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[7notemode]

I loved the arpeggios at the beginning. Somehow you give this song a slight italian flavor. I can't explain it, but it is there. Excellent.

[susancarol225]

The italian flavor is a wonderful thought. I like your phrase. PianistaItaliano plays with joy, romance, and a sultriness so nice to listen. Thanks.

[asillygoose]

very very nice tune. thank you for sharing it
