This is such a technically difficult piece. It would take a lifetime to be this good. The precision in the left hand jumping such a wide range and the 4 or five finger block chords in the right. Lee sims in one of the greatest pianists along with Willie the lion Smith, fats waller and others. What makes lee sims truly great is his haunting somewhat dreamy melancholy chord progressions and harmonisation in the right hand whilst maintaining a pumping swing stride in the left whilst adding to the harmonisation in the right at the same time. His arpeggios are fast and complex. Lee sims interpretations of the music of the time were always extremely popular, particularly with piano rolls.

It's quite nice, especially the chorus. What a sweet, honest and true man, love in the air and the insanity put aside. Also, on a side note, why are they placed as dots instead of lines? (I'm not judging anything, just curious and confused)
@rowanbelt3612 Ай бұрын
It's a really pretty waltz. I think it was very popular as I see different versions of it often. The dots are just a difference in how it was manufactured. Those dots are punched into the paper roll. Having a little bit of paper remaining between the dots makes the paper stronger - less likely to distort or rip. However, it reduces some of the rhythmic subtlety that is possible. Some other manufacturers punched the dots overlapping so that it turned into one continuous line as you have seen.

The music is quite nice. The ending chorus was quite off, though 🤔 (reading description) Ah, that's why. Totally normal, it happens. Sometimes I think of trying to continue my pieces with a better ending, but I end up rushing and add a basic ending, like I did with most of my recent pieces. 😂🤣 Quite a dissonant chord. E, F, G, and B-flat (don't know the name of such a chord) sounds shockingly good for an ending.

I haven't commented on your most recent video I think. I still need to listen to it. Sorry about that. That last chord is G B D# F I believe. It's called G+7, Gaug7 or G7#5 because it's built on the G augmented chord. I always like when there is a strange chord at the end haha!
