Julius Röntgen: Sérénade Mélancolique

[Zindaras]

I kind of randomly found this video when looking for Dutch composers, and I am impressed both by your playing and the song. I could listen to this all day. I have to say, I applaud your skills and your courage in choosing lesser-known music to play (not just this song but throughout your entire repertoire).

[PSearPianist]

@Zindaras That's really kind. There is so much music available for the piano that I prefer to let the 'A-listers' produce multiple recordings of the 'standard repertoire' and focus on the rest!

Und Grieg war auch dabei... :)

An interesting view, as always from you.

Very nice. Putting melancholy to music. Where do you find all these pieces? Another composer I have not heard of. I like the bit of information you share about the composers. A mini music appreciation course. Thank you!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you! I actually found this piece online following a request from a viewer to record something by this composer.

[Babejuda]

Unique. Special mood. Beautiful playing.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you! I shall have a look at the other prize-winning piece by him in the collection from which this came.

I discover and learn something new each time I watch your videos in the most enjoyable way possible.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you Paul. This piece definitely deserves a place in the repertoire.

[AhaBach4Life]

Wow, that's a nicely exotic sounding piece! Thanks. I hope your performance will start an "enzymatic" interest in performing more works by this little known musical master!!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you! There are a few recordings of his chamber music, but only one that I know of with any piano pieces.

[teresahan1991]

Awesome!

You're a great pianist!

[PSearPianist]

That's kind! I think you may have viewed it before I added the description, which you might find interesting.

[teresahan1991]

Yeah, I viewed it before anyone else did.

[PSearPianist]

Your enthusiasm is much appreciated!
