KilianColin plays "Rondo reloaded": A Tribute to Keith Emerson

This is my tribute to Keith Emerson. I played this at a German Keyboard Contest called Kids2Keys in sept. 27, 2008. The intro is taken from bach´s famous Toccata in d-minor. The main part is Brubeck´s Blue Rondo a la Turk.
In the middle I took a short piece from Bach´s Italian Concerto (2. mov.). For this performance I won the title "kid of the multi-keys 2008".

You're playing it the way the orginal composers did, not the Emerson way...

[KilianColin]

Wow! A Connoisseur! You are completely right. Emerson plays in 4/4 instead of 9/8 as Brubeck wrote it down. And I always asked myself why? I'm sure, that today, Emerson would play it in 9/8. It is much more expressive and does not sound as a country song....

richtig geil

Don't forget it was a part of the show... Emerson isn't a jazz musician and when first he was playing in The Nice he was rideing his orhgans and 4/4 is more natural for things like that... can you see a reason to keep 9/8 by rhyhmic sectin by 5 minutes when Keith was doing show? I don't think so.: )

By the way, good job, hope to you will do something great in the future! ;)
