Robert Maxwell: EbbTide (piano solo version)

[bcrues]

Thank you so much for your video. I have the sheet music and presently practicing the runs that you do so eloquently. This is the greatest love song ever written! No other words move me like these do. I am sharing on Facebook because I want others to experience this beautiful music and be moved as I am every time I hear it.

[PSearPianist]

@bcrues Thank you very much - and I am glad that you are enjoying playing this piece too. You are of course welcome to share this on FB!

What I wouldn't give to have you teach me to play a piano like that! Awesome.

[PSearPianist]

@gingerbread1231 Thank you. Alas I don't teach piano at all - I just play it!

[ikokokoy]

Thank you for your amazing piano playing, sir. It is so moving. I feel blessed to have come across your video. I will watch all of your videos! Thanks again and many blessings from Japan! :)

[PSearPianist]

@ikokokoy Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video - but it will take you a very long time to watch all of the videos on my channel!

[ikokokoy]

@PSearPianist ,

I am only 34 and I am hoping to live at least till 80, that will give me 46 more years. That should be a plenty of time to watch all of your videos! lol

[PSearPianist]

@ikokokoy Of course watching my videos may be life-shortening!! However, I hope you make 80 years. My father has just achieved that milestone, and I am sure you can too!

I would be so cool to see you play Gymnopedie 1 by Erik Satie. It's one of my favorites to play.

[PSearPianist]

@ivan92093 Thank you. The problem with that piece is that it has been played so many times by others that I would have nothing special to add!

[ivan92093]

Your playing brings me joy, this such a lovely piece. I discovered this song by listening to Mina Mazzini's version on YouTube. I then wanted to hear a piano version and thought it was funny that came across you agian! I love the rendition of Pie Jesu but the way!

[PSearPianist]

@ivan92093 Thank you very much for such a kind comment. I'm glad you like the 'Pie Jesu' too!

[dakinespam145]

Just a lovely piano rendition of Robt. Maxwells' Ebb tide. I listen to your rendition

before I say goodnight....love the sounds of this piece as I used to stroll along the

waterfront in San Francisco....so peaceful. Thank you for the upload.

[PSearPianist]

@dakinespam145 Thanks for your evocative comment. I should love to stroll the San Francisco seafront one day, and would hope to see the sealions if they are still there!

[hiddenurge]

Have always loved this piece since hearing the hit instrumental by Frank Chacksfield in the 50's. Beautiful job! Much appreciated. Would love to hear you give another Maxwell composition a run; how about the full version of "Shangri-La"?

[PSearPianist]

@hiddenurge Thanks for your kind comment. The Chacksfield version, with seagulls, is certainly great! I will look out for a piano version of 'Snagri-La', which I don't actually know.

[iantan92]

great job man, you should upload a tutorial video... i want to learn how to play this. its beautiful.

i heard the piano part in a song called fly(song of liberation). you should look it up, its real beautiful too

[PSearPianist]

@iantan92 Thank you for your kind comment. I do not have the equipment or knowhow to do tutorials.  I will look out for the other piece you mention!

[Smexii18]

it does not sound like You'll never walk alone.... to me it sounds more like The Impossible Dream from Man of La Mancha

[PSearPianist]

@Smexii18 An interesting thought!

[wendysbbw]

I bet you could do.."an affair to remember" beautifully as well...:) *hint hint!

[PSearPianist]

@wendysbbw Thank you - I would have to do my own arrangement, as I haven't seen a published transcription for piano solo!

[wendysbbw]

ur amazing! absolutely beautiful!

[PSearPianist]

@wendysbbw Thank you very much!

[ohyeah217]

such gentility! a classic performance of a classic tune....

[PSearPianist]

Thank you for that!

[leilanisukana]

You have just the right touch on the piano to do justice to this classic. Thank you

so much for posting it.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you very much!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. It is indeed a civil piece, and I should be interested to know what the composer - who is still alive - would think of how the world has changed since he wrote it in the '50s.

[AcidAct]

I envy you soo much. This peice is so beautiful and touching....I wish that I could be as good as you someday.

[PSearPianist]

Thanks very much for your kind comment. If you learn piano, keep practising, and you may well become better than me!

[snemelka]

Beautiful.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you!

[alexm2484]

You are very talented!!! Fantastic!!!

[PSearPianist]

That's very kind!

[jannarta]

I know this very well and also Maxwell,s theory on gases and magnetic flux and who went for a long long swim! Well done my friend. Jannarta.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you - there are quite a few different famous Maxwells!

[Babejuda]

Just the right mood for this day. Beautiful and beautifully played. Thanks for uploading.

[PSearPianist]

Thanks - that's really kind!

[rollydigger1]

i wish to be as good as you someday..and make other people appreciate music in its truest sense..:D

[PSearPianist]

Thanks for your kind comment. Having had a glance at some of your videos, you have made a good start - so keep practising!

@PSearPianist I used to play this piece myself, but not nearly as stylishly as yourself. I have thought of this melody while standing on a deserted beach (apart from seals and penguins) at Martins Bay, Fiordland, New Zealand. Incidentally, there is no road access to Martins Bay. It takes 3-4 days to walk there via a rugged track and seven 3-wire swing bridges (you stand on one wire while holding on to the other two). I have done the trip three times, staying in huts along the way.

[PSearPianist]

@pnaeroneer Thank you. Martins Bay sounds like a place I'd like to visit - but only in summer!
