Hymn to Freedom (Oscar Peterson) piano take 2

Note that a big part of the echo is because of the small space where the piano stands.

This piece it's so much fun to play !

So ever since I saw this on House I've been dying to find the sheet music. I've had no luck, care to point me in the right direction?? Great playing by the way :)

Thanks! And, er, you might want to try looking a bit better when you're searching for the sheet -> check the description.

beautiful!!! any chance you could play "I don't like mondays"?

[10milesfromnowhere]

Thanks! Request noted. Do I spot another House fan:)?

[dcstudio]

have you played a lot of classical piano?

this sounds nice my friend! good job! your pedal use was great!

[10milesfromnowhere]

LOL ! From the moment I got piano lessons I refused to do anything classical. always dragged my own Disney movie books along. Only the last 2 years that I've begun to get a bit more into classical music and blues ( I know this one, and 1 other blues, that's it).

Thank you so much for your feedback - it's very appreciated !Now if only I could get that damned part with all the 6ths and 5ths down while keeping 4 counts in one measure.

Blimey. One of my favourite pieces ever. Taking on Peterson takes some guts. Lovely, if a little tentative.

[VancouverComposer]

My compliments on your performance. There are elements of this work that take quite a bit of skill and practice. I remember playing this myself. Well done!

hey, its so fun when you play with a partner :D

something like, you play the right hand, i'll play the left hand, something like that. try it with someone, i suggest you to do that. :) its really fun

[lowhigh000]

why are you wearing your shoes inside the house? o.o

[VancouverComposer]

Great Job! I've been playing piano for 27 years, and I have always said, go for something hard, Raise yourself to higher standard. Keep working and improving your skills, you have a good head start.

[legionkeeper]

You rock! Music is and always should be an individual endeavor...within each one of us to explore. You played beautifully, don't pay any mind to the negative comments... those people are as ugly on the inside as they must be on the outside.

go fuck yourself faggot

[errolltheelf]

Well, if I hadn't listened to it, I couldn't have known it were so bad. Amateurs should play advanced music provided they have skills. Obviously, this one lacks technique, touch (using always the soft pedal) and soul.

Why shouldn't amateurs know their own limits? Just play an easy peterson tune such as Love ballad. Hymn To Freedom has a higly symbolic meaning and shouldn't be spoiled. Well, listen to this version, I'll listen to OP's or Oliver Jones'

[AugusteDupin1]

Than dont listen to it. I, however, think it is not bad and why shouldnt amateurs play advanced music?
