Prelude Op. 11 No. 10 - A. Scriabin
For some reason this gives me flashbacks to my dad playing piano in the hallway when I was a kid. Don't know if he ever played this piece, but maybe some Christmas songs with similar chords? It's a random but oddly specific positive nostalgic memory, haha. Anyway, it's beautiful! Loving those harmonies.
Good thing that cathedral is sunken because this piece is on fire 🔥 So majestic!
That made me laugh out loud <3
Play prelude op 23 no 5
I love This piece Song ❤ 🎉 it will be nive to. Be in touch 🎉❤ 🎹🎹🎹🎹🤗🤗🤗🤗 🎉
mooi!
Prachtig mooi 🎶🥰🎶❤️
really enjoying your recordings, Sjaak! Would love to see your interpretation of Fantasie Impromptu 😃
Thanks so much Charlie, I'm actually dabbling in studying the imprompu, so who knows it might show up at one point ;)
Muito emocionante!😢
Such a beauty, Sjaak.
I don’t think so 😉 but what a beautiful musical performance of the myth of Ys 🎶🥰🎶❤️
I agree :))
@@katiatruijen5680 🤗❤️
Wonderful ❤ 🎉 i Like This - See you soon ❤🎉❤
So nice ❤❤❤❤🎉
This piece keeps surprising!
That silly ol' bugger had some tricks up his sleeve for sure
Fantastic performance as always! I started to become more interested in Microkosmos after watching your videos. By coincidence, yesterday I was listening to book 3. Many greetings and thanks!
I'm right with you! I've really grown to love these pieces over the past few months. Quite tricky to master if you're so tonally oriented like I am! I'm a regular visiter to your Piano Piece Op. 1 No. 1 btw, discovering something new with every listen. Thanks for your art!
Wow mooi! 🎶🥰🎶😘
I am sure neither you nor Bartók intended that, but that repeating rhythm reminded me of Mr. Bean's precious contribution to Chariots of Fire. ua-cam.com/video/CwzjlmBLfrQ/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared&t=50
Super !🎶🥰🎶
Vraiment cool
No idea how Gershwin did it all, but he did it so well. 💖
I'm the same age as he was when he died and I feel like I can barely tie my shoes.
@@sjaakdouma That's why my hack for this age and onwards is to wear shoes that you can just slip in and out of (with the aid of a schoenlepel because this body's creakin') Some people have such an overabundance of talent that their life can't encompass it. 🖤 Makes me think of these lines again from a Mary Oliver poem that is, sadly, always apt: "Let me be urgent as a knife, then, / and remind you of Keats, / so single of purpose and thinking, for a while, / he had a lifetime."
@@kobitoergosum Haha yes, I have slip-ins and I'm never looking back. Dang, that's a beautiful poem. I've never heard of her, thanks for introducing me!
@@sjaakdouma Heck yeah, slip-ins are the best! You're very welcome. I've been sharing her Fourth Sign of the Zodiac poem especially for years and years now because, in all its hopelessness, it's still so adamantly loving of nature and life. To use my own words from when she died a few years ago, "Her words meant everything".
amazing !!!! / what VST its ??
Heerlijke song 🎶🥰🎶❤️
Meatloaf cover album would be a great followup to the Randy Newman album
Sweet
Mooi ! 🎶🥰🎶
A surprising piece :)
Well-tempered indeed!
There's soft pain in this, but also release.
It's relatively light-hearted for Scriabin, but I'm glad his usual agony and suffering can still be heard beneath the surface.
@@sjaakdouma Hahaha, we can depend on Scriabin for our daily dose of doom ✨
amazing !! / thies ketbed vs pha IV ??? and what vst use for this song?
great !
Lovely ❤
@@ElaineCulbert thanks Elaine!
Incredibly beautiful 🎶🥰🎶❤️
Simply amazing!
Bach is never easy, but always rewarding :)
Beautiful waltz of Chopin nice performer😊
Love your covers! Shame they're not available on spotify anymore...
Thank you! And sorry about that, but I just had to due to some recent policy changes at Spotify HQ that f*cks over smaller artists. I do think its possible to listen to external files through Spotify in some way though, so rip away and importeth at your pleasure.
Mooi gespeeld, en interessante compositie! Klopt het dat je de Roland A-88 gebruikt? Hoe vind je hem spelen, en zijn er andere midi keyboards die je ook goed vindt? Is best lastig te testen helaas. En welke sample libraries gebruik je voor piano?
Thanks! Nu is deze setup een beetje anders dan je zou denken (lang verhaal kort; ik neem op mijn Steinway M op, en dub op de A88 voor video). Maar ik vind de A88 zeker fijn spelen (ik vind mijn MKI versie wel beter dan de MKII). Ik ben ook fan van de Kawai VPC1 en SL88 Grand, beiden met houten toetsen. Qua samples gebruik al een aantal jaar Keyscape, die reageert wat mij betreft heel natuurlijk qua dynamiek. Ook PianoTeq reageert heel nauwkeurig, maar die vind ik dan niet altijd overtuigend qua klank. Ik heb verder geen ervaring met alle libraries die er in de afgelopen jaren bij zijn gekomen :)
Magnificent transcription. Beautiful playing !
Many thanks Frederic! Previn's arrangement is so good!
bro can u tell me the name of your keyboard?
It's a Roland A88 MK1!
Nice! 🎶🥰🎶
Bartok's music is so interesting and I haven't explored Mikrokosmos much and it makes me want to learn more. Your performance is excellent as always!
Thanks André! I actually just started looking at the Mikrokosmos after a teacher of mine recommended them to me a while back for composition techniques. Really inspiring stuff!
What a cute piece! Seems challenging but you made it look easy haha
I love how schizophrenic it is!
Amazing performance indeed
Dusk one evening on board ship, crossing the Indian Ocean under the luminous sky. Suddenly the sound of a Chopin waltz came bursting out from the main lounge. I had tried to play it for months without success. That's why I gave up the piano. There wasn't a breath of wind and the music pervaded the whole ship. I stood up as if to go and throw myself into the sea. Then I did weep because I had thought of my Chinese lover, and I was suddenly not sure that I hadn't been in love with him after all, with a love I hadn't been able to see because it had become lost in the tide of events, like water seeping through sand. Thanks to that music, spreading over the sea and filling the calmest night I have ever known, I could see my love for him for the first time. From "The lover " movie
Sounds beautiful, thanks for the movie tip ;)
You are a fantastic pianist! Excellent performance, very expressive, musical and creative. Bravo!
Greatly appreciated André!
Heerlijk! Ik zie een film van Charlie Chaplin in gedachten bij deze muziek 🎶🥰🎶
Het zou er goed bij passen ja!
which keyborrd is that
Short answer: Roland A-88 Long answer: check my reply to DeRanods' comment down below for the nuts and bolts of my recording process!
@@sjaakdouma legends say i am still finding that comment
Fantastic stuff! These arrangements aren't easy. Everything here is brought out brilliantly!
Tell me about it! I severely underestimated these for sure. Really rewarding though!
A slightly lighter Chopin waltz, nice. :) Delightfully played, as always!
He must've had a good day inbetween his usual suffering
Well done, i really enjoyed your interpretation:)
Thanks so much!
Wow, wat prachtig gespeeld 😢 😘❤
Dankjewel mama ❤️
What a delicately expressive performance! It was a pleasure to watch and I really enjoyed discovering your channel. Bravo!!!
Thanks so much, colleague ;) have a great weekend!
