I’ve been playing Excursions No. 1 for five months and, although it may sound fun to play, trying to imitate the beautiful sound that most performers give is literal complete HELL. Your fingers can cramp and you might mess up 100 times in a row. And that’s how I feel like when I and playing this piece.
I know this was commented a while ago, but if your hands are literally cramping, your hands are too tense. Professional have almost zero tension when playing even some of the hardest pieces.
This sounds awesome! I was just thinking how I can imagine Jon Lord or Keith Emerson playing this on an organ. It’ll sound great as a progressive rock piece.
You should identify the pianist in the notes, not in reply to a commenter. It's discourteous, if not outright intellectual property abuse, not to do so.
Barber had an exquisite musical imagination. This is one of my favourite piano pieces.

Well... Maybe not LITERAL hell.
@@jtoddmusic7090 No literal hell, I also play it, its brutallll
@@sergei-prokofievDefinitely too forbidding for me. "Dr. Gradus Ad Parnassum" is the most confusion my ten dinky digits can dare.

The rhythms are so good
Hiii :)
What a pianist, my goodness! Sensational......
This is when I wish I could like this 100 times over! Fabulous!

I like how in the last movement the "lowest" note is middle C.
J'adore ça...Merci infiniment.
Just heard a person play this really well and now I want to learn it lol

Hello Caleb
Very cool sounding, definitely some minimalist influence.
The allegretto tho
Allegretto unlocks a spectrum of emotions in me that are only perceptible by mantis shrimp
Is it based on Spanish Ladies? Amazing

@@tapir943when I played it in college the emotion it generally unlocked was anxiety. 😅
Love this Sam...Great work. Thank you.
The King Robert with God composed the most difficult piano music as Samuel Barber and played it. Wow! The Queen Natalie His Wife with Goddess.
I’m currently playing this song (terribly)
How's it going?
Love

Lovely! Are you playing it?
The pianist is Israela Margalit. She has a wonderful interpretation of this piece.
The fourth movement should be 11:19
Thank you!
Interesting.
Where did you find the score? I could not find it on IMSLP.
Same. I don't even know where to look for it. Imslp doesn't have it
Barber died in 1981. Copyright. You’ll have to do something horrifying. Buy it from a retailer or the publisher.
I bought a book that has all of his piano compositions in it. Worth the investment.
@@jamiefaulk9427 which book if I may ask?

Écoutez Horowitz !!!
