Ballad for Bernt - Krzysztof Komeda

This is a tune by one of my all-time favorite composers, Polish pianist Krzysztof Komeda. Not very well known in the U.S., Komeda composed the music for many of Roman Polanski's films. His best known piece is probably "Rosemary's Lullaby" from the movie "Rosemary's Baby". He also played a very important role in the development of European avant-garde jazz with the release of "Astigmatic" in 1965.

Here's a link to a version of this piece performed by Komeda himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CayFfFrinAI

Receive all my respect and good wishes!

I hope i can see you on some stage soon.

Please keep on doing "classic" masterpieces like this and also make new song! With this musical background (i imagine) you can compose wonderful tunes...

i like the acoustics of the rooms you play in, like you're in a huge concert, but only in a small room.
