[JesusdeBlas1]

Absolutely fantastic, great!!  Could you please tell me where can I find this music sheet? I would love to try! Congratulations. It's amazing! Jesus de Blas from Spain

[PSearPianist]

@JesusdeBlas1 Thank you for that!

[ptfeathers]

Brilliant..I love it and well played,I have the standard sheet music for "A Kiss In The Dark" but your version is outstanding so hopefully I shall come across the best of broadway standards one day... PS all your videos are a pleasure to listen and thanks for posting!!!

[PSearPianist]

@ptfeathers Thanks for your very kind comment!

The name of the song I mentioned in my previous comment should be Alt Wien - not "Alt Vien." sorry for the mistake.

[forrest51]

Very beautiful piano playing. I enjoyed that! It would be interesting to hear you play Alt Vien (Old Vienna). I don't know if you have heard it, but it is a sentimental nostalgic type of song (waltz) and needs to be played as such - not too fast, not too slow. Thanks for the enjoyable few minutes.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you for your kind comment. I do actually play 'Alt Wien', but have never put it on YouTube, as there is at least one good recording already here. Somewhere on here there is an evocative video of a guy playing this piece at what looks like a private party - the sort of occasion for which it was no doubt written!

very nice. Makes me wanna dance.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you - I'm glad it has that effect!

@PSearPianist I love your rendition of this beautiful song. I used to have the sheet music of it.

My dear mother, who has passed, used to play it, too. Do you know where I can get a copy of

the sheet music? I would love to play it again.

[PSearPianist]

@drbatt1 Thank you. I can't remember which book I used to play this video from. I will have a look and get back to you!

[ChristophePhilippe]

I have a soft spot for this song. Very nice playing, thank you.

[PSearPianist]

Thanks for your kind comment!

amazing and beautiful! <3

[PSearPianist]

Thank you!

Thanx for the delightful vignette, so beautifully and elegantly performed. Victor Herbert's music definitely hits a chord no matter what the time period.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you for that really kind comment. I don't know much of Herbert's music, but from time to time I get asked to accompany 'Art is calling for me' (AKA 'I want to be a prima donna')!

[Babejuda]

It must have been written for a big orchestra. Beautiful charming melody which can be well memorized and hummed together with. Thanks for uploading. Thanks for your excellent playing.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you. This arrangement certainly plays like a transcription of a light orchestral arrangement of the song, which is perhaps what makes it interesting.

[jannarta]

I think that you judged the atmosphere and the tone of the music superbly

and your playing is brilliantly executed.jannarta.

[PSearPianist]

Thank you for that!

[dorifrankel]

Very beautiful, charming! Who made the transcription, please?

[PSearPianist]

I have no idea - the book does not even identify an editor.

[clavis55]

Oh! What a beautiful and charming piece! Thank you for uploading!

[PSearPianist]

Thanks - it is (despite the rather unsophisticated piano writing!).

[zapperz2]

Suits the title: kiss in the dark

[PSearPianist]

Yes, indeed - and by chance the light level is quite low in my video!

[00011ai]

What a romantic music it is!!

so great!!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you!
