"Tat Katho Kyaung Thu Ta Oo" by Sandaya Aung Win. A well-known Myanmar radio song, sang by Ko Min Naung in late 60's about politeness of Myanmar culture represented by a university student in her stylish hair with a flower, Pone Daw shoes and a simple fashion. Sandaya Aung Win repeated his style exactly as he performed with Ko Min Naung in 1982. This is one of the sing-with-me version for his FB fan. We can safely declare that it was the very first Myanmar piano performance with "chords" making this song so sweet from the prelude and so on. This music is in Key C for testing reason. We will complete the whole music with another Key. MAMASociety
Let me say something please.
I am not a musician but a music lover, every different thing is not a wrong thing, different is different, nothing is wrong with Burmese classical music I honestly respect other opinions, everyone has the right to like, not to like and to accept and not to accept. for me, I am very lucky to have a chance for this entertainment

Dear Ko Aung Win. Thanks for trying to present myanmar piano music in a different aspect. Really admirable. One of the criticisms of myanmar piano is that we use so many notes for the melody line. With chords and harmonisation, less notes for the melody line can sound very well. In stead of semiquavers and demisemiquavers, quavers or even minims can be used, I suppose.Harmony notes will support the melody .Before people reply, please remember that I love myamar piano with many notes as well.

@zrshwe I believed the debates are quite fruitful. I was just informed that the 2nd version of this song was being uploaded as we speak. The good news for you is that the 2nd version would have more chords and left base. It could be in slower tempo so that most fans could sing along with it. To my imagination, It would be more romantic although I haven't seen it yet. SAW played in Key A-flat this time for most fan as I was told by a third party. Thanks for you comments.

I love it. Yes the chords made this sound richer in texture. I would love more chords throughout but I understand that with more chords, the traditionalist might criticise it. Since I like both TE traditional way( which I find very cute) and western way, I would like both versions. Another arrangement with more chords either block chords or broken chords throughout might be very interesting. Just a thought. I thank you for uploading the traditional piano music which to me is very valuable.
