[amlasamanta]

Dear orionedwin.

i usually like this moreon the violin but your version is fantastic.

i am going to try it out myself.

[orionedwin]

@amlasamanta Thanks so very much. Please post your version!

Dear orionedwin, it seems like you are the piano player we see on the clip. Right?

If correct, let me first congratulate you for this great interpretation. It well rendered.

But, I also feel like a tension, or a frustration, like if you which to push harder but couldn't. I had the same feeling before switching the audience and the style.

Flamenco, rumba or arabian music are way deepest and I ma sure you would take a great pleasure to play theses styles.

[orionedwin]

@ChevalierrBayard Hi there. thanks for your kind words. I have to say that I completely disagree with you about a sense of "frustration" or "pushing." The Waltz is not the kind of music you force. It has a flow which encompasses sentimental hesitation and physical passion. In fact the Waltz, which first came in around the time of the French Revolution, had more effect on culture that any other dance form EVER. It was the first dance where you could actually hold your partner's body next to you.

@orionedwin,

Interesting thoughts, thank you.

About the Waltz your are right, it is a revolution in the revolution, it has never been seen before. So I guess Wagner and Brahms are your masters? But I am certain that you would really take a good time playing or listening to the "arabian" styles like Buleria, Fandango, Solea or Granaïna (Sabicas for exemple) or there south american derivatives or classical arabian music.

Keep up!

[orionedwin]

@ChevalierrBayard I also play the other styles from Habanera to using Arabian modes. Each has their strengths, but none is inherently superior to a Waltz.

I don't like your attitude.

[orionedwin]

@jack0reardon Good for you! Have a GREAT day!

[orionedwin]

@Mephy04 They actually are quite fine . . . they might not scream and shout as much as I'ld like, but they are a pretty decent audience . . . BTW Thanks for taking the time to respond!

One of the most beautiful classical pieces ever in my opinion, but its probably just because I dance.
