  • For anybody who cares, Frederick is playing Ray Turner's version of "Kitten". Ray Turner, along with Roy Bargy played piano for Paul Whiteman in the 20s. Ray Turner's hands can be seen playing the medley in the opening credits of the 1945 Gershwin film biography Rhapsody in Blue starring Robert Alda and Oscar Levant.

  • Hi and thanks for your excellent comment.

  • The piece is a bit difficult at first - but is all based upon a pattern of collapsing thirds, which once mastered can provide for hours of fun..

    I have sheet music if you are interested..

  • I'm absolutely addicted to this song. I want so badly to play it but I don't know where to get sheet musics for it or where I'd start. Is Kiteen as crazily difficult to play as it sounds? If I could, I'd probably play it all day!

  • Yes, he's got great talent. There's another video of this where you see his fingers, but the sound isn't as good.

  • Howdy OrganCat!

    Thanks for your nice comments!

    Frederick is Fantastic!

    I am just one of several folks that have captured video of Frederick performing so many different tunes that have been posted to YouTube.

    Best regards,
