I've had my Acrosonic since I was six. I'm 50 now.

Thanks for noticing! My Acrosonic was purchased (for my Mom) in 1950. I'm 47, so we've been together a long time too! It has fantastic tone for a spinet, although the action is somewhat light. Cheers!

I don't know what people are smoking when they say there's no emotion. There's plenty.

IMO, your execution was the best, for this song, on all of Youtube.

[Astushka]

That was lovely!

A soulful, sensitive interpretation. Try varying the repeated melody notes (e.g., a cresc. in approaching the final of the 5-notes with a delayed approach and slight pause on the final note, letting the melody "arrive" at the final repeated note). A slight pause or accent on just one of the repeated notes can do wonders!

Such a perfectly matched piano and pianist!

I appreciate your playing. It is so personal, and never compromises to appeal to the masses.

Too Hard and Fast ;-)

[sopphocles]

Ive listened to about 5 anonymous renditions of this piece and i#ve listened to your interpretations for only 10 seconds and to me you captured it the best.

hey man,

I can play that song aswell, but i think your going a little bit to hard and fast, and you dont put feeling in it, if you change that you will see that the piece will sound much much better =) (if i have some english mistakes, its normal because im portuguese xD)

cheers!

I've played it and it's a nice song, but you didn't put too much feeling in it... Nice performance!

You should try playing Rememberences it's the last piece he wrote and is a walse version of Arietta.
