Alexina Louie - I Leap Through the Sky with Stars

This is my performance of Alexina Louie's "I Leap through the Sky with Stars". This is a modern piano piece, written in 1991. Thanks to my sister (Salieri87) for recording.

I don't think I've ever seen another recording of this piece before. Here's hoping more people find it, because I think it's a great piece. The ending is actually a lot harder than it looks.

I LOVE IT XD!

Thanks a lot! I recommend you don't use me as an exact model, though -- this is the kind of piece where 20 different people could play it and it'll never sound the same twice.

I recommend you decide for yourself on the degrees of pedal and dynamics, and the lengths of pauses. Most of all, though, just make it your own interpretation.

Awesome piece - and good playing. Never heard of Alexina Louie before - I'll have to check him/her out. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! My favorite composers are actually Debussy and Chopin. This was a pretty audacious project for me, but I really liked it. I actually wish I had more time to make it even better.

This is quite good. I think you should take a lot more time, especially in the big contrasts, such as the subito ff in the left hand trill. I think it will help for the interesting sonorities of the piece to have a more profound effect (I'm also learning this piece!)
