Old Waltzes - Waves of the Danube (Donauwellen) by Ion Ivanovici (1880) (Piano)

[@znh3900]

After five years, this video is still the only version of Danube waves that I want to listen in all KZbin videos😂

[@znh3900]

Hi, I hope you are doing well. I am here again for this piece, it’s so beautiful that I always want to listen to it.

[@Boden-eg3fn]

The first time I listened to this waltz it was orchestrated, and I must say. . . I prefer this a whole lot more than the orchestral version!!! Thank you so much for this rendition of one absolutely beautiful waltz!

[@haoxiangjin8077]

Thanks for your wonderful performance! I always would like to listen the orchestra music in piano version.

[@judymiles1659]

My favorite waltz (it breaks my heart) and so exceptionally played! I also love your finely tuned Yamaha piano.

[@sharonasn]

really awesome🤩🥰 I played this beautiful waltzes before i stopped playing piano and I wish that someday I'm gonna sit behind the piano again and always remember your video that makes me feel like doing that again thank you ❤❤

[@znh3900]

exactly the score i heard when i was little! some of the videos online lack the beginning before the main theme. thank you! really beautifully played!

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

Thank you very much 😊. Yes, I have been told this piece is popular in China.

Me too, I

[@bellzineff361]

Your hand posture is so good.

[@ptx2ptx]

Excellent control and a brilliant performance! That's the entire piece. I listened to your piece several times and I have not click like your video until now. I just clicked like and left my comments. There are 8 people who are tone deaf.

[@su3violin]

Thank you, Dawson, for your flattering comment. I'm sure the pianist will be delighted to know that you like his music. Regards, SZ

Bravo pour cette charmante valse!

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

Marie-Sandra Diamant-Berger Thank you very much. :-)

[@ausi14u]

Even sounds better than my pianola roll. But the roll is as close as I can get to playing this piece.

[@AchareliKartveli]

Wow! I am impressed how beautiful it sounds. You inspired me to learn this waltz finally )))

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

Haha. Thanks. And you will do a better job than me. ;-)

[@AchareliKartveli]

Obscura Piano Musica Oh, no i dont agree with you. Your playing is brilliant. For sure it will take me more time ..I am so fast in learning new works

[@andreasandreotti4492]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!1

[@andreanaegele9741]

Could someone give me their opinion on how difficult this is to play?

[@mikaylaelmashni8245]

Could you please tell me what level of difficulty this is because I'm sixteen years old and I've been playing piano for about six years. I'm playing in a competition but I don't want to do something to hard or to easy.

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

Mikayla Elmashni I don't think it's too hard for intermediate level. if you're interested I can pass you the score to look at if you leave an email address.

[@mikaylaelmashni8245]

Thank you so much! It is [e-mail] Thanks once again!

[@8izzy]

Mikayla Elmashni this is too hard

[@8izzy]

Mikayla Elmashni jk but it depends on how good you are

[@mikaylaelmashni8245]

Lol! I didn't know how it would be at first, but I started playing it and it turned out to be a pretty good competition piece for my level, not crazy hard but not super easy either. It's a beautiful song and I'm really excited about playing it!

[@michalbondos7280]

amazing

[@graeme011]

Very nice indeed!! This is a piece that I used to play, and I appreciate your interpretation. However, points must be deducted for the chunky watch, which is very distracting in the video.

[@christinaelizabethmary2082]

Amazing performance!!! Could you please share the sheet? The sheet I own doesn’t have the initial part.

[@znh3900]

hi. this might be what you are looking for www.gangqinpu.com/cchtml/934391.htm

[@alinichka2]

I used to play this exact version many years ago. But lost my piano notes Would you be able to email them to me?

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

You have an email I could send to?

[@zsemberisandor]

Gratulálok!

[@F10NAX]

Пожалуйста, можете нам отправить ноты?... Для моей дочи ☺️))) ... Она занимается на фортепиано 6-й год...

[@stratovona266]

[@su3violin]

Thank you.

[@stratovona266]

would you be willing to share the sheet music?

[@su3violin]

Sent to your email. Happy practising.

[@stratovona266]

[@BarbosaVi]

Amazing!

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

Viviane Barbosa Thank you Viviane. :-)

[@BarbosaVi]

Obscura Piano Musica Really wonderful! I would like to use this interpretation in a short scene of a circus show which I participate. you authorize me to use? the presentation will take 10 minutes and will be only for a day.

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

Viviane Barbosa You are welcome to use. However, there is a glitch in the video at around the 3.50 min mark due to the uploading process. If you want the unblemished version, I can send you the original video or just the mp3 to an email address.

[@fodilben6155]

GREAT!

[@asia321999]

So good!!

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

+asia321999 Thank you very much.

[@mihayoung]

Hello. Thanks for the good music. I am an individual film maker. Can I ask you if I am allowed to use this music for my personal movie? It is a non-profit work made by only one person.

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

mihayoung sure

[@mrbanana7167]

Well if you're still using this account and something happened from this, I wanna see it

[@edithsmith7478]

Beautifully done and a beautiful waltz. Aren’t there some English words “...0h how we danced on the night we were wed....?

[@krickrack]

In the 40s it was popular in the US as "Anniversary Song" by Al Jolson.

Nice

[@uchiennguyen7603]

Penka taraman tuxume !

[@johanncoronado6902]

May i ask,what grade are the sheets for this piece?

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

Johann Coronado probably grade 5 or 6?

[@johanncoronado6902]

Obscura Piano Musica thank you. I was trying to find an easy piece to practice sight reading.

[@LenaDreamspage]

congrats!

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

+Lena Dreams Thank you very much Lena. :-)

[@ivanabarbosatessmann8530]

did you play in a different way than the sheet?

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

No. Roughly the same. Maybe some small variations.

[@luismilicich6417]

JOvan Ivanovich ,ondas del Danubio

[@miguelsalinas4143]

Encamtador!!!!!

[@mipvos8260]

TOP❤️

[@musiclover3470]

The playing was excellent. If the piano was well tuned, this video will be perfect！

[@canman5060]

Is this the piano version by the composer himself ?

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

i believe this is the 1922 Anton Benjamin version.

[@canman5060]

Thanks.This piano version is fairly close to the original orchestral setting.

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

+Tündi Garai Thank you Tundi. :-)

[@su3violin]

Yes, it was popular in China....I sure have heard it before...when I was young.

[@ObscuraPianoMusica]

'When I was young. ..'? Thought you're still young. ...;-)

[@su3violin]

Obscura Piano Musica ok ok....when I was a child, I meant.

[@soiah]

Please, You insult the memory of this composer, there are no gipsy flavors, the flavor is of a romanian romantza and folk music, thank you

[@krickrack]

Please, thank you

[@MsPianomusician]

Your piano sound need to be voice

[@8izzy]

sorry but this could have been better

[@graeme011]

Better in what way? Get rid of watch, definitely. But can you be more specific?

[@hyenaskate]

@@graeme011 I'd say rhythm. This is a waltz, you need to be able to dance it. You need to feel the One Two Three, it's not there.
