The Piano - Big My Secret (Michael Nyman)

[invinciblec1]

well played i must say, but because he is young he does not feel the music as the title says my big secret..but the young man has talent

[reydereyesJesus]

[TheBluKeys]

I also like this speed.

[watercolour]

pretty good~

i miss the Piano's soundtrack.

[Scanpian]

It's beautifully produced. I do prefer it slower though. But like you say, you should play it the way you feel it. So good on you!

[peedonser]

Just beautiful. I love your style.

[tubbie0075]

Thanks.

i hear it that fast for the first time. And i like it very much!

For me, the slower version is like looking at the infinite ocean, and your version is like a rapid river.

i know it doesn't agree with your video combination, but that's how i feel;)

so i think we can't say that one of the version is better. Both are lovely if played with feelings. I can hear your feelings in here- and that's beautiful!

[tubbie0075]

Finally! Someone actually likes this rendition of the music!

[javipr13]

it's correct, but i prefer it slowlier, personally i feel much better the emotion like that.

I think it was a Great Performance :) 5*

Why the rush?!?!?

It will be better if you play it slower and with more feeling!!!!

Listen the original, you can make it perfect :)

[tubbie0075]

Just because Michael Nyman played it slow in the soundtrack and everyone else in YouTube followed him, doesn't mean I have to. I played it slow before, and I couldn't feel the music flowing. This speed suits me. The tempo marking in the sheet music does indicate quaver (half note) = 50 - 64, allowing some tempo freedom for different players.

Slower may be better for you and everyone else, but not for me. I like it just the way I played it :-)

[pedrolopes2007]

Ok, that is the most importante!

If you feel better that way, keep going :)

Best Regards

i personally like this piece slower but i do agree with you- a piece is all about the players interpretation of the music and if you feel this is the best tempo then good for you to say it!!!!! i liked your performance btw!!!!!!!!

[MusicByJC]

@tubbie0075 Play for yourself first and everyone else second.

[stoopidpants]

i think the song sounds better a little faster; slower sounds too sad.

[fyddre]

Beautiful Song, and u play it very well. Nice performance. I lov it !

[dechetsdailybs]

You played it really welll (and your kids sounded cute) but, I think you needed to slow down a little bit to really get a sense for the passion of the song.

[tubbie0075]

I agree that normally this piece is to be played slower, like Michael Nyman's version in the soundtrack, and almost all other players on YouTube.

The version I haven't seen on YouTube is Ada's version, the character in the movie, played by Helen Hunt. She played considerably faster but with as much passion and conviction. That's why I played at Ada's tempo, something different to offer YouTube viewers.

Oh, those kids weren't mine and the "daddy" wasn't me!

[dechetsdailybs]

Hahaha! Well then the random kids sounded cute.

I'll have to watch the video again but I think if just the begining was slower, and you kept the speed throughout the rest of it,it would sound more like Ada's version.

Either way I really liked it

[cripticstone]

that was good :D
