That sounds like a lot of fun, a real treat on your birthday! I love their music, they have some great hits. Some of my favorites (in addition to "Spanish Flea") are "Rise" and "The Lonely Bull".

@@RileyTuckerMusic Those are great, but "A Taste of Honey" is my favorite.

¡Gracias por escuchar y me alegro de que la música pueda brindarte tanta alegría!

Chopin Nocturne in E Flat Opus 9, Number 2. Enjoy :)

​@RileyTuckerMusic but he's playing in C Major. I think this is a simplified arrangement.

@@diffugerenives I was curious because it sounds so much better than the original

It is an honor to be the first to cover your work Marshoyen!!!

Thanks for your support!!!

Thanks Jose!!!

Thank you my friend!!!

Thanks for your support my friend!

Thank you for watching Jose, glad you liked it, I will subscribe to your channel as well!

I used to use pianosociety a lot (www.pianosociety.com)for that reason. It's a site where you can find free recordings of piano music. There you will find well-known names but also lesser-known composers. If you wander off the beaten path of Bach, Chopin, Mozart, etc... Not saying they aren't worthy of study and appreciation, but there are many composers whose works are fantastic that most people don't know about.

Hi Brandon, thanks for watching! To answer your question: I transcribed the score in finale and this is just an electronic simulation by the notation software.

I included that as a gift of free advertising to them :)

Thanks for watching Bluesdad!

I was wondering if that was obnoxious and it would sound better without it.. Thanks for your feedback Brandon!

It's really only the beginning of that Barcarolle piece, but Faure does this again later in his oeuvre in Op. 104 Nocturne no. 11 in F sharp minor, at the very end, these octaves with inner voices, I love that technique. In my little sketch here, the ligature is very inaccurate, with this editor, it was basically saying left hand and right hands would split an octave. That's not something that would typically be written, mainly as it would rule out any type of bass notes. What I actually play is RH 99% of the time, although this score says differently until the very end, so one has to ignore the typical "LH is bass clef, RH is treble clef" convention. Anyways, thanks for the feedback and Happy New Year Chris!!!

@@RileyTuckerMusic Happy new year ! 🎆🎇🧨🎉

That's a great compliment, thank you kentiy6641!

Yes very busy with work. I need to catch up with your latest piano videos! Thanks for watching. If you like it, you might try this one out, I think the sheet music is on sheetmusicplus. Thanks again for watching.

@@RileyTuckerMusic My pleasure. It's a cute little piece, which you play with great panache, but not one I feel compelled to try out. If I were to do a 4-hand video with myself again, I would pick something a bit more substantial.

Thanks Chris, I think it was your copy of Dedication/10 Easy Pieces that I first heard of, so you were an influence. So many of Bartok's pieces seem to fit a Halloween aura. I know you said you wrote a Mazurka once, but were not happy with it. In any case, I thank you for your collaboration and think your ending wrapped up the piece much better.

It's just a vibraphone sound on the keyboard. I wish I could hear it on a real vibraphone!! Thanks for listening Brandon!

Thanks Olivier!!!

Everything that you want on the cover, you make, so it was my gift to them :)

Thank you c-historia!!!

Thanks for watching cbmtrx. I need you as my marketing manager. I am very bad at marketing!

Good to hear from you Brandon, hope you are well. I recommend his other symphonies as well. Not crazy about his 4th but I really like his first, second and this one. Reminds me of other French composers of the day, Faure and Saens.
