Struttin' It Around - Sonny Chua - Tom Elliott

[Philiemeister]

Brilliant playing! I can feel the attitude bursting from my speakers :D really enjoyable.

@willzi0007 perhaps you could help us too by recording death by pasta :) i am also in australia but can't get a feel for the piece...

[Jayk95Jayk]

I love your piano in this piece. It gives a really cool mood and reminds me of being in a smoky dirty pub with someone busking with that. I love it :)

[willzi0007]

Yeah, I did Death by Pasta and Struttin' it Around for my HSC here in Australia, and did quite well in both. Death by Pasta is a wonderful piece, but there are no recordings of it around anywhere, which is a shame!

[musicismylife12345]

umm... probably both in the whole run hahaha :P

[slyx94]

this song... did you miss some notes or you improvised it to your version??

[Jacob121416]

Great song! and very nicely played!

Would you happen to have the sheet music by any chance?

[crazymum11]

This is great. You have great feeling for the piece. Get some money for a better piano! Ever thought of busking with a keyboard? My boys do that and get heaps around xmas ... Keep it up. And try Sonny Chua's Death by Pasta -- that also has a lot of feeling (my son won a piano prize with that one!). Cheers.

[ge0r91e]

[gormybaby]

I was at masterclasses with Sonny Chua on the weekend and he said that he had a loud, out of tune piano in mind (not the concert Steirway we were using) when he wrote this piece. You capture the mood and character really well.

[missymoosical]

You sped up way too much after the start, and you're right, the dynamics and tuning are a bit out XD

But boy oh boy, I admire your glissandos. I've got the rest of the piece somwhat perfect... but I can't get the bloody glissandos XDD

[musicismylife12345]

haha thanks. glissing is much fun!! just practice practice practice! 1st time i was faced with 1 i freaked! but now they just awesome. ciao

[QueenHM]

Yeah it does sound a bit clunky (especially that last chord...argh!) but hey, way to go Tom!!!
