Les Rythmes Mysterieux de George

[Homage to Couperin and Gershwin, in the form of a spoof]Recently found manuscript by the reclusive Francois Couped'in, a good friend of PDQ Bach. We may never understand the enigmatic title to this piece, played here by Grigory Scottolov. [A light-hearted "homage" to Gershwin, Couperin, and to Grigory Sokolov, whose piano performance of Couperin's "Le Tic Toc Choc" is nothing less than magical. Find it here on YouTube.]

SO COOL! If I still played well I'd steal it! Am a huge G. Gershwin and P. Bach fan!

Thanks, Mikester. Feel free to use it any time. I think some may not get that this is a take-off/spoof. Please don't stop playing.

haha I never heard of this, but i grew up on pdq bach.

excellent playing, by the way

[EmdrGreg]

Thanks, Adier. It is original, so you would not have heard of it. I too loved pdq bach; I heard them live once and it was great fun.

Bonjour EMDRGreg! "Les Rythmes Mystérieux de George" : LOL !!! I hope other ultra-authentic manuscripts will be found sleeping under protective spider's web in your intercontinental attic...

By the way, bravo for your romantic and jazz playing too.

By the way, Couperinette, I'm just about ready to try recording Chaminade's Meditation. I really love that piece. When I do, let me know what you think.

Alas... I must confess my almost 17th century's way of life! I do have an épinette but no camera - That I can open Youtube from my archaic computer (of course at candle light)is allready a miracle. And perhaps it's better not to hear all my false notes...

[EmdrGreg]

Couperinette! Nice to hear from you. I was hoping that you would not be bothered by my gentle fun with Couperin. Have you recorded anything for YouTube?
