Les Miserables 'On my Own' Eponine Piano Instrumental Yamaha Grantouch GT2

When I was about 14, I was in Washington DC and saw the original cast perform Les Miserables at the National Theatre. It was a profound experience for me, I had always been to the theatre, but this was my first musical and it was just terrific. I have been playing the piano ever since. You will notice I have no music, or words etc, that is because I am self-taught, I can't read music and play entirely by ear and from memory, as well as provide my own improvisation. You will notice that the introduction is missing - I have never liked the intro without the lyrics, so I start about a minute or so into the song. This is simply my interpretation, with everything that is missing or added intentionally just so :-) Feel free to make comments in English, Czech or French :-) Other languages I will take a stab at!

is that a metronome on top of the piano?

@hirandomfun Hi :-) Interesting question, it does look like one! It is actually a replica of the grasshopper clock designed by Harrison in order to solve the problem of measuring time on the open seas. If you google grasshopper clock and John Harrison you will find more information about the original models which are in the Greenwich museum in London.
