Somewhere In Time/Rhapsody On A Theme By Paganini - John Barry/Sergei Rachmaninoff

The 18th variation of Rhapsody On A Theme By Paginini by Sergei Rachmaninoff is used in the movie 'Somewhere In Time'. Composer John Barry wrote the music to the film in 1980. In today’s musical offering, I perform the love theme as composed for the film, followed by a piano transcription of Rachmaninoff’s piece which was composed in 1934.
I absolutely love these gorgeously romantic, stunning pieces of music. xo David

Go search for Olga Kern playing Rach's Them from Pagainni with thr Dallas Symphony Orchestra and listen to how a real top notch pianist plays Rach's 18th Variation.

[@JohnnieDilworth-zf6ss]

My Moms favorite movie and music of all time. I heard her crying one night and when I checked to see what , she was holding my dad's photo and listening to this piece by John Barry. I'm praying that I can get the money to take her to The Somewhere in time Weekend. She absolutely deserves 5 40 yrs older than me. I'm her only son. Please if anyone knows of Anyway I can get reasonable priced tickets for the SWIT Weekend please let me know. I'm in school, (Macomb) most of the week but I still can /am taking calls, thank you so very much

[@Joshua_bastida]

I hope you can take her there. Although I don't know you, I'm sure you're a great son.

[@Mello4fee]

[@nicolasbarlatier6717]

Wow great performance, one part was a bit harsh, I can understand how it is easy to get overwhelmed and play with to much force :) Could you please play "The old Woman" a very moving melody of Somewhere in time, it would sound magical on your piano. Thanks David What piano do you have?

[@davidtroyfrancis]

Hi Nicolas, I have a 7’ Yamaha grand. I am currently in Memphis and will not return to my home until next week. I will explore The Old Woman. Thank you for your kind words. David

Does anyone know what arpeggios he plays at the beginning on the treble.

[@barbarianrecords]

Hi spacelast frontier! I start with these notes: d e g b / then c e g a. Then just variations on the corresponding chord harmonizations.

[@Joshua_bastida]

@@barbarianrecords thankss!

[@Joshua_bastida]

​​@@barbarianrecordsone last question 😭. How do you do it so fast yet so soft.

[@davidtroyfrancis]

@@Joshua_bastida It helps to have a 7' Yamaha with excellent action and response. I have practiced piano for 63 years now and that helps, too :-)

[@supertetakids2192]

Perfect! Your performance is amazing👏👏👏

[@davidtroyfrancis]

Thank you for your kind words.

Is the sheet music available?

[@davidtroyfrancis]

The sheet music to the song itself is readily available but my specific arrangement is not.

Sure joshua

NO WHERE IN TIME

[@davidtroyfrancis]

what does that mean? ("no where in time"?)

[@dvdchinahd]

AI？

[@davidtroyfrancis]

I don't believe I am artificial or particularly intelligent so the answer to your question is no...I do however love playing the piano which I have done for 63 years 🙂
