Moon River piano tutorial - Cocktail-Piano style

[@jjrusy7438]

You are really good at this piano stuff. The embellishment style is really beautiful. RIP Dr John, he was part of what made new orleans what it is. Hurricanes, throwing up on bourbon street, more hurricanes, and cyclones and pete fountain and al hirt and Jackson square and dr john...….

Nice little surprises here to replace my own sparkles on the water, This is just right for easy listening cocktails, thanks Christian.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

It was your father who told you sparkling water is a cocktail, right?

[@jennywren8937]

Christian Fuchs You mean parents lie to their children and at the same time tell them they must always tell the truth, and that it was possibly his liver salts?

[@less3117]

Wow! Another real gem. Love your interpretation, just beautiful, melodic and emotional.

[@sicplano]

Just purchased your beautiful arrangement and plan to start working on it today. It will be a great tool into understanding the cocktail genre. I’ll have to slow down the runs though to half speed! I would love to see more pieces in the cocktail style. I plan to purchase all your offerings in time. I think there’s a market for cocktail arrangements. There’s a plethora of jazz transcriptions for example for Moon River, but not so much in the cocktail style. Though I was raised in New Orleans and actually went to school with many world renown jazz musicians I prefer cocktail (Wynton is likely cringing at this statement - lol). I’m binge watching your channel at present as I’m having to catch up on your work (I just discovered you). All the best from this now Texas transplant - Sandy

Just beautiful! Thank you! How could anyone give this a thumbs down?!!! :(

[@edwardmorton6691]

Gorgeous. Nice playing Christian. You really do play well when you want to. I loved that and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

[@danielgauthier6864]

You play so well and in a large range of notes. I am always encouraged to limit my hands on the keyboard.

[@timphillips3777]

I’ve learnt such a lot from you Christian, and enjoyed your humour as well. If only you’d been around 30 years ago. Thanks very much.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

If only I was 30 years younger,,,,:-)

[@timphillips3777]

If only I was 50 years younger!

Music like this, this makes my heart smile.

[@davidelliott500]

I listened to this twice. Drank a red wine. I downloaded your score and I hit it right on. 70% video, 15% score, 15% red wine.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

That I call life balance! Strong red wine you got over there...

🥰❤👍👍

[@ewanmccall204]

How long should this approximately take to learn ?

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

There is no such thing as a time frame. Too manyfold are are the factors. Age, discipline, talent, preexisting knowledge, focus etc...

[@Steckdoseee]

This is a good tutorial no doubt about that but at some point i wish you could make clearer what notes you are playing, cuse at some point i even had to slown down you slow speed again by 50% and still couldnt find out wich keys you where pressing at the same time ...

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Hey Steckdose ( How on earth do I know that you are German...) Did the green keys not help? They are meant for just that. In general there is a limit to slowing down. Cause at one point the piece becomes just too slow to be perceived as a piece, bars and melody becoming too abstract. I hope there werent too many of those moments for you... best und viele Grütze, Christian

[@Steckdoseee]

@@ChristianFuchsBlues ach du bist deutsch :D ja ich kriegs schon irgendwie gewuppt danke für die antwort :o
