Forgotten Dreams by Leroy Anderson

Forgotten Dreams was composed by Leroy Anderson and has been a favourite of many pianists. It's played here by Mike Thomson on a 1902 Steinway Model B piano. The ending has been copied shamelessly from Russ Conway's recording of this tune.

Mike, fantastic rendition. I'm not sure how I missed this one, but since I recently discovered it, I have been making up for lost time. Its a great piece, very nostalgic, and beautifully played by you. The Conway treatment is superb.

@kiwibobe Thanks, Bob. It's always a pleasure to hear that someone has enjoyed a performance. I'll put it on a Disklavier file for you!

Is there any chance you have a video of you playing "The Warsaw Concerto" by any chance - one my mother used to play!

[honkytonkpiano]

@mammawitch69 Thank you for your kind comments - I'm glad you liked that version of the tune. For some reason I've never been able to get into the Warsaw Concerto, although I realise I ought to be able to play it. One of these days, perhaps...

Best regards, Mike

Great like the Russ Conway sound at the end with a few bars of China tea.

@suffbagrub I had wondered how many would spot the little reference to China Tea! Glad you like the Russ Conway bit at the end.

My thanks also to the others who have posted such kind comments.

Cheers, Mike

@honkytonkpiano Mike, I shall be opening my email with eager anticipation.

Absolutely brilliant. Takes me back to the days when my mum used to sit and play the piano. Wonderful memories. Don't know why this song suddenly came into my head - but thank you. You played it beautifully!
