[griechereservist]

Great music, great composer, great soloist.... Greetings from Greece!!!

[Gnaulz]

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo.

[Bostoneyes]

I think that was fantastic! I'd like to learn how to play... sadly, I don't think me playing would last very long... I'm not the one to stick with stuff, except my love for animals.

No sarcastic remarks please!

[DannaLambieL]

awesOome =)

Nikolai is a wonderful player, but he seems to play everything just a bit too fast. (Maybe he should cut back on the coffee...?)

[Youshika]

I totally agree !

[Avgoustinou]

he's playing it too fast, it should be slower! it's A WALTZ, NOT A POLKA or a folk dance...

his finger work is marvelous, but he should go slower, no matter if he wants to show his talent, it shouldn't go that fast!

[Szekszkazan]

Awsome sound, great bass with a bayan converter accordion!

[meticulum]

I think he's playing a Jupitar bayan. They're pretty much the Stradivarius of bayans.

[Szekszkazan]

:((( As far as I know Jupiter doesn't make piano bayans, only CBA-B system. But I can't play on that.

[meticulum]

Jupiter makes 5 different models of piano bayans, but why would you want one when the button models allow for so much more speed and flexibility?

[Szekszkazan]

Jupiter piano models doesn't have the same bass reeds found in button bayans, and Jupiter Bayan Lux really doesn't have a piano alternative. And I want a piano-bayan because I've lerant it 12 years and I've never had button accordion in my hands. It would be too difficoult to learn CBA-B. But you've absolute right about speed and flexibility!

[WEDNESDAYDAVE]

This piece appears to use three keys: those of D flat minor, F major and B flat major. The timing throughout is 3/4 and to maintain the same timimg over all three keys is simply magnificent. This is why it can be played on any instrument. Sheer genius.

[AlJamhal]

slow down dude, but nice anyway

[Lidiazinha]

just we , russians , talk english by this way... and I love it !!

:D great music

[ekzemon]

vaya patata de vals

[DocoptikN]

The song is Waltz 2 from Jazz Suite - Shostakovich

[northerbrewer]

You could play that on any instrument and it seems to work.

Yes slow it down a touch, but If love it all the same

[ethakimm]

No it isn't. The piece is from the suit for variety stage, by Shostakovich ;P

[YOSHIZERO]

Truth, but it's commonly mislabeled as Jazz Suite 2.

[jpmamdny]

what's the chord progression?

[liquidsax2]

Very good.

[JagV12]

Don't Hurry!
