Rowy van hest - Tema ostinato

[oracle2world]

Rowy still alive? Like not dead from cancer?

Just curious.

@oracle2world

She's retired, as far as I know. Not dead. Rowy wrote 3 dozen of duo's in 2011. I guess that would be a miracle for a dead composer :-)

@oracle2world - just curious.  Can't find an email address for her. She helped me with some translations for my web site some years ago.

I'm not meaning to be a troll here, but I think that this confirms what Rowy van Hest says herself in that 'It is not the task of the performer to make something beautiful out of a pile of rubbish.'

In this case - lovely playing with expression and a nice touch by the performer, but a mediocre composition nevertheless. Wouldn't really consider her a good educator based on how she grills everyone on her site's FAQ section. Complaining session over!

"but a mediocre composition nevertheless"

As I recall, this is one of her older compositions she made available for free. My guess is, she won't offer her best work for free to the public. Nevertheless, I know my theory and this music is perfect. Not my favourite, but perfect.

You don't like her FAQ? That's possible. She is a bit harsh to amateurs.

Could you please tell me how the song is called in the introduction of your video ?

[lassdays]

Of course!...

The song is called Porcelain and it's from Moby.

Enjoy it!

[rcc400]

its put of tune.

[lassdays]

What do you mean by that?

[lassdays]

Yes, you are right, but I prefer, in an electric piano, piano sound than harpshicord sound.

And thanks for your comment.

[thefrenchsong]

I happen to know that this piece was written for harpsichord. Well done, lassdays.

Hi! This is wonderful played! I was searching for another song of the composer Bubbles in the sun,i was just playing it and i wanted to have an example how it should sound..

Glad i found your video, this song also sounds nice!

[lassdays]

thank you for your comment.

By the way, the song you are looking for is "In the Sun" and Bubbles is the composer? I didn't understand very well.

[AndraNature]

Ah no.. i said i searched other song of the same composer, song is named "Bubbles in the Sun". Sorry i didn't expressed well.

[thefrenchsong]

@AndraNature

The composer has a webpage with more free sheet music. Perhaps you'll find a song there: composerDOTrowyDOTnet

[lassdays]

@thefrenchsong Thank you. I also have some sites with Rowy van Hest's music, but yours I did'n know. Even there is a song from this composer called "A French Song" and it is beautiful too. By the way, do you like this composer?

[thefrenchsong]

@lassdays

Yes, I do. Rowy is a known teacher of composition and music theory in The Netherlands (that's in Europe). She wrote a book on harmony.

[PSearPianist]

That was good - I've not heard of the composer at all. Your electric piano records very well.

[lassdays]

Thank you very much I aprecciate your coment so much.

In fact the sound fo the piano is very good, is a Kawai CA-5 with a very acurate touch feeling and sound, but is a shame that I am recording with a photography camera so the recording sound could be way better. I live in an apartment so I cant have a acustical piano, to not wake up everybody :P

Thank you again, more videos are coming soon
