[Comnenos]

You do look amazing in that dress, but it is the song that gives me the chills!! Emotional, vigorous, and makes me visit my memories!

hi i just wanted you to know that my friend xalamac who has left you many comments on this video died yesterday ... this was his favorite piano piece yesterday and i will hold it dearly as long as i live .. he shared it with me so many times ... i wanted to thank you for bringing this piece of saddness mixed with love and happiness to him .... he enjoyed it immensely ....

[Mihajasoa]

What a great composer you are! And a great performer too! We could feel that intensity! Ugh! I'm not prepared, that's too much! Good bye!

[femmeclassique]

)))Thank YOU((((

[Mihajasoa]

No thanks!

[deloran918]

I am always amazed at people that can compose original music. It is a form of intelligence that I am lacking. The piece seems complex. I enjoyed listening.

Perhaps I shouldn't comment, but I enjoyed the visual appeal also! All the best.

[femmeclassique]

Thank you very much for you kind words... I am touched that the music could grasp you in such a way. Peace.

[PeterKellnSimon]

I've watched this several times and couldn't stop crying. I would like to say more, but this is so public............... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you

[femmeclassique]

Hi Peter... no need to cry... You helped me. Time pushes us forward.

[xalamac]

Leslie Ann, I just heard this piece of music for the first time in a little over a month since my hospitalization, and surgery. And I still adore the livin' ___________ out of it! Are there any more gems in the works?

[femmeclassique]

Hello... I have been sending positive energy your way. I do hope you are recovering well and hope to share some new funs tunes with you all soon. Blessings, and wish you well.

[Pldculebra]

Wow, stunning.

[xalamac]

You took the words right out of my mouth, Pid. I couldn't have said it better myself!

[pianoplayer19955]

Your videos may not be the most popular on youtube, but I know that everyone who sees them is moved and amazed.

[xalamac]

I got an e-mail saying that you had replied to my comment. Was it the "I wish you peace", response?

[sambarrister]

Absolutely mesmorising.........I am in love with you music....an inevitably you....please send me this music score - I am willing to pay for it. thank you so much for posting - You moved me - I am deeply touched. Only if I have a chance to meet you in real life - I would say to you how much I love you.

[femmeclassique]

Thanks very much:)Sam. You don't even know me... take it easy with the lovey talk ;)

[sambarrister]

I meant to say I love your music - it didnt come out quite right because I was mesmorised at the time - My writing sounded like a drunken fool. Sorry Miss. Have a nice day. Sam

[xalamac]

Amen, Sam! :-)

[xalamac]

Hear, hear! :-)

[xalamac]

I have an appointment this Thursday at the Sylvester Cancer Center at the University of Miami for the third, and ultimate opinion on my health situation. If they say it's dyspasia, I may not have to have surgery, but if they say it's cancer of the esophagus, it looks like surgery is inevitable. I'll keep you posted. :-)

[femmeclassique]

Hey..... I don't know what to say... except that I wish you peace...

[xalamac]

Hi, Leslie Ann. I'm sorry I upset you on the phone the other day. :-( BEST of luck on getting the copyright on this piece!

[femmeclassique]

no no... it is quite alright.  wishing you well and praying for your health.

[xalamac]

Thanks a lot, darling! I appreciate it. I LOVE your music! :-)

[xalamac]

Was "Blues in Orange" removed" I love that piece.

[diasdm]

Beautiful melody. You played with your heart.

And by the way, beautiful legs too...

[xalamac]

You got that right, dias! :-)

[ellier0215]

so... where can i buy the sheet music? =)

[femmeclassique]

you would buy it from me... but I only have one hand written copy... and... it is in the process of being copyrighted... I will send you a copy when I have that done... this may take several months though... OK? thanks so mucH!

[xalamac]

That was a very good move getting this piece copyrighted. Stealing this gorgeous piece of music is CRIMINAL!

[AirborneMind]

Being as how this comment was made several months ago, is the sheet music in question available yet? If so, how much would it cost?... And I must say, this piece looks very impressive technically, and your performance of it is breath taking. I'll bet your mother was very proud of you.

[spiritsgood]

intense...yes thats what it is intense.

[femmeclassique]

right-0

[xalamac]

The caption underneath "About This Video" begins "This piece evokes intense sorrow.........", I think this piece is just down-right INTENSE!

[femmeclassique]

yes. I agree... intense... :)

[spiritsgood]

why is victory!! so sad....and eternity so short?i caint even begin to tell you where this piece takes me..on this day.can you imagine how lestat feels?thats crazy aint it?wow.....

[femmeclassique]

hmmm... yes ... interesting...

[spiritsgood]

awesome!!i mean awesome...God bless your mother may she rest in peace...

[femmeclassique]

Thanks so much :) and thank you....

[suchAslitch]

this was AMAZING.

i am so jealous! it's music like this that really really makes me want to be able to compose!! :[

and so much passion. great composition!

[femmeclassique]

Thank you so very much :)  Live your dreams my friend. If you want something bad enough.. you will get it.

[piano6861]

It is incredible! Beautiful improvisation and touch on the piano.

[srlooney33]

Thanks so much!

[sisCathryn]

I can't help it.. Have to listen to all your piano plays now on youtube...

So most likely.. Will comment on all of them.. on how I like em...

[femmeclassique]

Hi there sisCathryn, thanks so much for your kind remarks and support. I'm touched...

[xalamac]

Hi, Leslie Ann! Happy New Year! :-) I'm listening to this piece---again---and still adore it! If you read my bio here on YouTube, you know that I was born in Havana, Cuba. One of my all-time favorite pieces is a piece that was written by a Cuban composer named Jose White Moffitte called "La Bella Cubana". If you can get a copy of that piece and post it here on YouTube, I would LOVE to hear it! :-) Happy New Year again, and keep that GREAT music coming!

[ttafamily]

I like this piece and have been replaying it multiple times. You've got talent!

[femmeclassique]

Yeah... thanks :) Enjoy it :)and Happy New Year!

P.S. gotta love that Eb

[femmeclassique]

Thanks Gary... Eb... yep :)

~leslie ann

[ThorntonGary]

i like how you dont get it, but i dont pity the ignorecnce of my madness

[femmeclassique]

what do you mean? you mean the dissonance pulling it towards the resolution right ??

[ThorntonGary]

OK, maybe you do understand. Sorry

[femmeclassique]

No Need to apologize :) How could you be certain that we were thinking of the same Eb. However... I have always thought of it as D# :) Cheers my friend!

[AWESOMEaustin99]

[Manderswirl]

[femmeclassique]

HI there! I can't believe you found this on YouTube :) Thanks so much for the kind words... I do miss getting to visit all of you and teaching Amanda and Marlo was such a treat!! Happy Thanksgiving!

~leslie

[jeffbrant]

I listen to you play on YouTube often. I wish you had a video posted of you playing one of my favorite piano pieces: Claude Debussy's Reverie. Marlowe is learning it now. Take care and keep up the great work!

Jeff

Hi Jeff, I'll see what I can do :) THanks so much!

THIS IS UNBEARABLE!

I have repeated this piece 37 times and counting. Absolutely gorgeous, inspirational, compliments from kingdom come.

Wow... just wow. STOP MAKING ME CRY!

[xalamac]

Man, and I thought I held the record, well in THAT case.................!!!!

[xalamac]

J, I should have warned you to have PLENTY of kleenex before seeing, and hearing this video, but you found out the hard way! :-)

[xalamac]

37 times in how many days?

[xalamac]

Leslie Ann, I didn't mean to pry. I just thought I read somewhere that you have family or friends in Florida. I'd love to meet you, as I think you know, and I just thought that would be a good opportunity.

[femmeclassique]

I understand.

[xalamac]

I hope this doesn't ruin what offline acquaintance we have! :-)

[xalamac]

P.S. I hope I'm not hallucinating! lol

[femmeclassique]

no ... you are not hallucinating :)

[xalamac]

Leslie Ann, did I read somewhere, and correct me if I'm wrong, that you have family, or friends in Florida, and that you go once a year?

[femmeclassique]

Hi Xavier... that would be personal information that I'm not so sure I would have announced here on youtube.

[patman2112]

This is brilliant! We are subscribing to you.

KrisShred told us about you.

Pat & Nic :o) :o)

[xalamac]

Good move!

[femmeclassique]

Hi Pat and Nic :) thanks so much! And my best regards to Kris :)

[xalamac]

By the way, my first name is Xavier.

[olemann77]

Again... i find myself listening to this one fairly often. Tnx for whatever inspiration if gives me :D

[xalamac]

Leslie Ann, I have a birthday coming up in a little more than a month (May 11), and I would LOVE a birthday gift!

[femmeclassique]

:) okay...what did you have in mind? "happy birhtday" or an original just for you?

[xalamac]

I would love an original.

[femmeclassique]

okay then

you will get an original... :) when's your b-day?

[xalamac]

May 11th.

[femmeclassique]

Okay then. :)

[xalamac]

Thanks so much! And if it's even one-TENTH as pretty as "Unconditional Assurance", it's going to be flat-out GORGEOUS!

[KrisShred]

Such a beautiful piece, and you're so sexy looking in this video :o) However I love your piano playing, doesn't matter if you're wearing a dress or not ;o)

Kris

[xalamac]

Whoa, Kris. Down, boy! :-)

[NocturnalTune]

A beautiful piece!

Nothing nicer than a woman playing beautifully on the piano.

May your Mom rest in piece.

I compose and perform, but sadly not to this standard!

Keep on playing!

[femmeclassique]

Hi NocturnalTune, thanks so much :) The only true standard should be playing from the heart.

[NocturnalTune]

You're welcome! And thank you for posting this beautiful composition, all the more beautiful for its name and naming.

Are you a professional pianist? Seems you were trained classically then ventured into composition. What's your favorite piece that you've recorded on YouTube? I've noticed you've got more than a couple uploaded. I'm slowly going through them!

[femmeclassique]

Hi NocturnalTune, thanks again. I'm not a concert pianist, but I do play professionally. I also teach. I have always been interested in composition. Even during and beyond the classical training. My favorite uploaded on youtube would be this one. :) Thanks again :)

[ste121212]

omg do u write all ur stuff urself...its brilliant..ur mom wud b proud...well done gorgeous

[femmeclassique]

hi ste121212, yes, I do write all my stuff by myself. My Mom actually named this piece for me. And she would always ask me to play it for her when I would come home from college... therefore, I dedicated it to her :) Thanks so much for the kind words. Blessings to you. ~leslie ann

[BlingBlingDo]

The music is not the only magnificent part of this video !

[femmeclassique]

Hi Bling! Long time :) thanks so much!

[BlingBlingDo]

Time passed, while memories remained !

It's been a great pleasure for me to see again one of your videos.

So long !

[paminaase]

seems like from Turkey :D

lots of love.

[ZzouZzou]

jolie musicalité, et jolies jambes :]

[sofyan]

that's so beautiful, and like many others have said, amazing!! if only i could see it being played 'live' on stage. i'd be mesmerized.

[femmeclassique]

hello friend who plays the classical guitar... :) thank you :)

[xalamac]

You and I both, sofyan!

[michaeldevito]

That is a beautiful and evoking piece. How much you love and miss your mother is obvious and reflected through your passion as you play. Also, and I hate to say this within this context, but the way that you move around on that bench to pull the emotion from those notes is pretty hot!

[AlphonseNguyen]

This is my favourite piece of yours. So moving and beautiful.

[femmeclassique]

Hey Man :) Thank you sooo much. So great to hear from you. Have you been coming up with anything new?

[AlphonseNguyen]

I have something new, but it's not complete (I'm too lazy!). And I don't have a camera to film my older pieces, sorry!

[xalamac]

Welcome to the club, Alphonse! :-)

[LalaineRG]

Lovely... I love the emotion you put into your pieces. I hope someday I can play (and compose) as well as you. Beautiful piece.

[gte14n]

Your mom would have absolutely loved this. I can't believe you played that by heart...but from the heart..always! You're wonderful.

[xalamac]

I couldn't have said it better myself, gte!

[DrewBrightbill]

Wow! Very powerful... wonderful. bravo!

[Dranod]

We have an old pianola at home, it has played its heart out for many years, but alas the belows are breaking down and it is getting harder to find materials to repair them. It is a relief change to see that someone in this world can still exceed the mechanical qualities of the old rolls and preserve the human aspect that went into them in the first place.

[pinetucky]

Your mother is as beautiful a daughter as you are a granddaughter. We always LOVE your playing Leslie. Unconditional Assurance is as stupendous as all your other renditions. We love you and keep up the good work. Granddaddy Mack and Granny Edwena

[pipperz]

awh - this is really good... beautiful and haunting? Emotional? I'm not sure what the exact word is, but its amazing! I wish i could play like you ... lucky

keep them coming!

[femmeclassique]

Pipperz, thank you so very much :) remember to play from your heart :)

[xalamac]

A) Beautiful B) Haunting C)Emotional D) All of the above!

[xalamac]

pipperz, all of the above!

[pianoplayer19955]

i can say no more but simply,  beautiful

[xalamac]

Hear, hear! :-)

[xalamac]

'nuf said!

[xalamac]

[rleddy]

An anniversary gift that travels through enregy speheres. The bond of mother-daughter love reals us into the devotion of a mother to a daughter's gift. enriched, nurtured and everlasting. Thanks for sharing!

[femmeclassique]

[danimal234]

An amazing tribute. You are generous and brave for sharing this with the world.

[jolicrasseux]

[femmeclassique]

Thank you so much jolicrazzeux, you always have such an amazing way of expressing yourself, and I am grateful.

[zedan76]

[xalamac]

[fnordly]

Beautiful job! and the sound was pretty good on this
