Ethan Loch - A World of Sound

[@or8040]

Found this video almost by accident - via a link in the Nottingham Concert Hall Sunday Piano series email. We are away when you will be playing there this January, such a pity! But this short video was almost as good a substitute, because we find out more about you as a person and a musician. Beethoven has been my most beloved composer since age 5 and it's delightful to hear how you perceive and love his music. A pleasure to meet you in this video, and we hope to see you perform in Nottingham again very soon.

Wonderful, Ethan. The playing was a joy, but also to hear you talk of what you get out of your music is fascinating. And who’s this Bert Hoven fella? Ha! Ha! Ha! Keep enjoying what you’re doing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hi Ethan, thanks again for that link. Well, I’m on a journey trying to find ways of playing pieces I’ve played for a long time without Sight, which I know is just around the corner. That’s going very well. So far, not planning on learning anything new although today I came across that wonderful adagio of bach transcribed for piano in D. I guess you know that. It seems so straightforward it could be learned by ear with a bit of help. Anyhow, I can no longer read from White paper and now use an iPad Pro with scan music, which should do for about a year I hope! I should be listening to you, your music and what you have to say always looking out for tips and hacks! Stay well, and I enjoyed the Beethoven 1 very much.

I was lucky enough to be at your debut performance at'Music in Lanar' when you were just a little boy. I am hugely impressed at your progress. It is a joy to listen to you.
