Claude Debussy - La cathedrale engloutie (The Sunken Cathedral)

[41jimmyp]

a reporter once asked Frank Sinatra what he listens to and Frank said "the suken cathedral and all that classy jazz..." he never mentioned Debussy's name. I always remember that ever time I hear this. Great playing. I imagine on a grand piano this would sound incredibe. Your nuance and subtley are amazing.

Wow, thanks!

I do have a (baby) grand piano now, so when I find the time I might record it on that. This piece sounds just sublime on it.

That was beautiful sir. You have no idea how much I envy your piano playing ability.

[Vook]

Aw, thank you. Have you ever played an instrument before?

This is where all my outside Pump, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band intuition comes from - what I lack in physical skill and stamina, I have in internal rhythms and feelings for music.

Flute in elementary and Piano by ear. All I learned how to do was memorize.

I'd be willing to trade my skill and stamina to be able to play music. Music runs in my family, my mother self taught herself how to play many many many different instruments (some I've never even heard of). I discovered my love for it a bit late in life sadly and its harder to learn when you're older. The piano in particular has moved me in ways I can't describe with words. Its so powerful, what music can do.
