But, my dear, you definitly have it.

Even though this video is from a while ago, I do hope you will go far.

[Beastmast3r5254]

That was awesome

[orionedwin]

@Beastmast3r5254 Thanks . . . glad you like!

[BlackHayateTheThird]

ha, I know this one! But I always thought that Boccherini was more prominent with stringed instruments, such as the cello?

[orionedwin]

I unfortunately only play the piano! Thanks!

[sirhonestharry]

[lilryan10788]

OMG this is the song my boss plays in his Bentley except it has violins... if I ever get a mansion on Palm Beach or Manalapan or Miami Beach with a Steinway grand piano located between the dual spiral helix marble Scarface-style staircases I'm gonna hire you to play at my cocktail parties! lol hahaha j/k you're very good I'm trying to play this song on my crappy piano I can't even get passed the first part :(

[orionedwin]

It is a tough tune . . . Just takes a little longer than the others! Thanks for the kind words and I hope you get RICH!

[xstreme2]

OMG !!! nice job, and you are reading the sheet while you are playing.

good job.

[orionedwin]

Thanks a whole bunch!

[orionedwin]

Thanks very very much!

[o0o0oo7]

Wow! You played very well.

Do you know where can i download the sheets?

Loved it so.

[orionedwin]

Thanks a lot . . . Sheet music direct has them I think!

[HugeHawk]

you're a real master my friend.

just a pleasure to listen to it.

cheers

[orionedwin]

Thanks so very much!

[droi74]

Edwin, thanks for the reply. I wonder if you'd like to play Bach's Badinerie BWV 1067 on piano solo or BWV 1056 2nd mvt Arioso. Don't put pressure on yourself. I can wait for several months. By the way, I love your Czardas very much. Rare to find such high spirit and your unique body expression.

Have a nice day!

[orionedwin]

Thanks VERY much . . . I'm not so god at Bach (Chopin comes much more naturally) but I'll do my best!

[droi74]

Edwin, I watched some of your videos. Thank you for sharing with strangers like me. I think you have a personality that attracts many friends. Why I comment here is someone said "minuet...which should be at a slower tempo,". I don't think so. Your intrepretation is very good to me. I like the vigor and the body expression. Slower tempo or faster tempo, it depends on one's mood. Don't be so rigid. Do you play J. S Bach's?

[orionedwin]

Thanks for getting back to me . . . I'ld love to play Bach's Minuet for you . . . Gimme a few days!

[elaineabreu13]

bravo! =)

[orionedwin]

Thanks very very much!

[areosa13]

you play very good congratulations.

can tou give me the sheet

thanks

[orionedwin]

Thanks very much! Send me your e-mail and I'll mail it to you as an attachment.

[ValparaisoBlues]

My friend, although, it's a marvellous performance which I'm certainly going to use to learn to play this fantastic piece of music by Luigi Boccherini, I have to say that you're playing it to fast for a piece of music which should be at a slower tempo, remember that minuet means " delicate and soft", that's my only comment. Wonderful performance, Congratulations, way to go, I'm learning from you!!!! Eduard.

[orionedwin]

Thanks very much. I appreciate the time you've taken to critique . . . I have played it at many speeds and I have read that today's performance times are markedly slower than mid-20th century efforts so that is why I chose a tempo that was (at least to me) mid-range. (See "Facing the Music" by Arnold Schonberg.)However I appreciate your words and will bear them in mind! Thanks a bunch.

[ARoundOfApplause]

orionedwin I think Boccherini would approve....very nice!

[orionedwin]

Thanks for your opinion and comment!

[DaichiUsagi035]

You have very agile hands and this was played wonderfully! Watch out though; don't take your hand out to fast when you finish a sequence. It ends the note too sharply. You can legato there a bit more.

[orionedwin]

Awesome . . . . I really appreciate your critique. Despite my own legato take on the mid-section don't forget there was NO legato playing (unless specifically indicated) until AFTER the time of Mozart. Thanks for your excellent comment!

[felipevv05]

you are so ugly !!!

[orionedwin]

Thanks for your kind comment.

[jonnykkkkkkkkk]

Simply wonderful. I wish I had half your talent...:-(

[orionedwin]

We're all good at our own stuff . . . You're probably more than twice as good at a lot of things than anyone else! Thanks for the compliment and have a great one!

[anja5]

Those sharp notes ... It was on a chilly winter afternoon I got that particular song for my homework. A couple of decades ago. Ah, like it was yesterday ... Thanks for bringing back the memories!

[orionedwin]

It is a pleasure . . . Thanks for your comments!

[nechamas]

Fantastic!!!!

[orionedwin]

Thanks my love!
