My grandmother was a wonderful pianist and when I was growing up, she played so many songs so beautifully from Beethoven to Chopin to Mozart, but this song stood out to me as my favorite that she would play. It actually became a ritual that before we left her house or before she left a house with a piano, she would play this song. She, on the other hand, found the song too difficult to be fun (though she played it perfectly) and preferred playing boogie woogie and was probably reincarnated from a saloon pianist! She passed a few years ago, and I haven't heard this song again before right now and my God...the memories and feelings came flooding back. I can distinctly picture her, a sweet country Grandma, playing this piece like a woman possessed. It makes me miss her dearly, but also reminds me of what a gift such beautiful music is and what a wonderful blessing we have in such a thing.
Would love to have such memories, alas not each have the chance to live such things... Hope you keep them close with you until the end, it can help through hard times, and what you just described was one of the thoughts i would want to have before i reach my deadline and expire...
I had a similar experience as my grandmother also played this. She had a baby grand in her living room and the booming and whirling of the "storm" were visual and wonderful. She's been gone a long time now, but I will play this on occasion and remember. Beautiful music!
Beautiful performance! When I played RUSTLE for St. Clements Women's Club my dear mother was chairman. She prefaced it by saying , " I love this piece, but I have no idea of who was RUSSELL OF SPRINGS. (There was no laughter, hearty applause . I was a success in 1961!)
I’ve listened to this particular recording for several years. It has accompanied me through love, divorce, the death of my mother, who loved this song so much since childhood (her own mother is a pianist), renewal, and moving to Germany where I sit here now, listening in awe. I will never tire of it.
My Mom ( Peggy Scott ) was a beautiful pianist and this was among my favourite's along with " Water Wagtail " and " The Minute Waltz " .... Whenever I hear this music I always stop to listen .....I remember waking up to her beautiful playing and going to sleep to her music....she must have spent hours playing.... These are very precious memories and will live in my heart and mind forever.
My Grandma was a fantastic piano teacher. She played this for my darling Mother before going to sleep! I never knew my Grandma Gisella, as she died 3 years before I was born, but I love her with eternal love thru this piece of music, which is the HYMN OF LIFE, THE LOVE OF LIFE, DEATH COULD NOT DEFEAT HER, SHE IS IN MY HEART FOR EVER! Thans Sinding! Love, Yolanda from Hungary! with eternal gratitude!
... listening to this, I am back at the Convent School in Hokitika playing the piano with that dear little nun, Dr Channel. What a wonderful teacher she was....
How have I not commented on this already?! So flawless and breathtaking. I cannot get enough of it. Congrats to you Mr. Sinding for making my childhood and teenager years filled with this beauty.
My father passed away recently and I used to listen to him playing this in my childhood but a funny thing happened recently while I was renewing my insurance by phone. The waiting music was this very piece of music. Seemed a very unusual bit of music to be piped and I was in bits after it, but daft as it may seem, I took it as a sign that he was ok.
They played this at the end of a Unitarian Universalist service and I cried so much during it. Truly a liberating moment. It was the first time anything church-like was as welcoming as they were. I grew up as an apostolic Pentecostal Christian, UU is a world of a difference:
This is my favorite version of ROS. I don't know whether it's supposed to be played faster, most people play it faster. But I play it myself really slowly because it sounds better to me. Lovely piece.
My grandad Haworth use to play this long before I was born He passed away in 1950's he was a concert pianist and well accomplished I have his music and intend to play some of his volumes of music he left bahind .god rest Your Soul Grandad James Haworth from Blackburn x
i remember when i first learnt this, took me years but i finally got it! if it weren't for my current exam i would so pick this piece up again right now, one of the favourite pieces ever! :)
It's interesting to hear this played at a slower tempo than is typical for recordings of this piece. Gives it a leisurely feel. Most renditions are quite fast and up beat. I like it.
+I Am A Fabulous Glitter Bunny Sounds like you needed more preparatory time for everything to 'bed in'. I always do many 'dry runs', playing before anybody I can persuade to be a guinea pig and listen. Lots of weak spots are exposed and dealt with this way. By the time a 'real' performance comes, I am too sure and confident of the task to be very nervous. The secret of performances without nerves: practice *performing* (not just your pieces)! Good luck in future performances!
One of my final pieces mastered after 12 years of piano lessons. The music has some technically challenging sections, but is, for the most part, easier to play than it sounds, with most of the rapidity made up of simply arpeggiated passages.
what i love about this piece is that it’s not as hard as it looks. i’m an intermediate pianist and i can at least read it at tempo (but maybe without as much expression as i would like lol)
When playing pieces like this, it is important to have your piano tuned properly and in particular, it should be carefully voiced. and the "action" regulated correctly.This is the only way you can hope to let the melody sing out above the accompaniment. When a piano sound is even across the whole compass of the keyboard, you can anticipate exactly how much velocity to use for a melody note. Keeping the accompaniment under control is no longer a problem, you don't have to fight the piano!
No hay música más adapatable al romanticismo como esta que estoy escuchando, recordando a mis viejos tiempos, conjuntamente por ejemplo al Estudio N° 3 , "Un sospiro" de Franz Litz i
Further, a warmer tone which is achieved by careful voicing, is generally more helpful for the performance of romantic music of this nature than a tone which is too bright and piercing. The warmer sound is softer, therefore easier to control. You can then concentrate on the use of a little extra velocity for melody. You can't do that when the tone is hard loud and shrill! As a piano tuner/technician, I should know. I used to play "Rustle of Spring" to demonstrate pianos I had tuned!
I always wonder if this was inspired by Liszt's Waldesrauschen. Obviously the title's similar, and then the whole arpeggiated figures in the right hand with the similar sort of melody in the left... Lovely interpretation of it anyway!
This tempo might be pretty close to what Sinding intended. However I have seen the start of spring in 67th latitude and i can assure that after the seven month long winter the spring will not come tip-toing, it will storm in. So perhaps a little accleration at the end, please.
For those who play this piece, do you count the 8 on 7 polyrhythms? Or do you just count the 8 32nd notes in the right hand and play 7 in left knowing that you will play correctly so long as a you have a sense of both hands getting to the first beat in the subsequent measure at the same time?
When I played this piece, I really had to trust my sense of rhythm for the 8 on 7. I never counted the 7. The notes just seemed to find their place when I sped it up. I don't know if this is helpful, but it's my personal experience with this piece.
@@yojukitomodele long time has past, but I have yet again come back to this piece. Got second in the performance all that time ago. Still one of my favourites
Sounds great! Is there a way to bring out the melody without making it sound like the note is actually being played twice (where the melody and right hand plays the same notes in succession)?
I played this song for a contest and got accepted to play at Carnegie Hall... but I declined that invitation because I needed to attend a Championship swim meet.
Practise the melody with different tone to the accompaniment, and have the accompaniment much less pronounced. IE, have the melody louder. The right hand should just be like a soft rustling, and the melody is like a violin or something and sings out above the other noise.

It really is one of those memorable pieces that just stays with you! The dotted rhythms, memorable tune and flowing arpeggios!! Gorgeous stuff!!
doing this piece for my senior year recital in may!!! wish me luck y’all🙏🏻🙏🏻
you're way ahead of me.. I'm just learning as an adult.. Unless you went to college really late, I'm older than you ;./ haha!
GOOD LUCKK
@@kathmajumdar9384 don't worry about it; you don't need to be a specific age to play, right? music is universal. good luck with urs too!
@@brain_a Thank you.. It wasn't perfect (my performance).. I'm busy with other things though too :.)
@@kathmajumdar9384 That's alright! Despite it all, you were there, and you did your best. That's what counts.

❤️
you know you're good when you make a piece so demanding of your ability yet so beautiful to the ears
Well, the piece is actually a fair bit easier than it seems
@@dutchpropaganda558 It’s not Islamey but it’s not Fur Elise either.

'Oh' Memories Neston Secondary School (UK) 1959 our music teacher used to play this for our class .... we were transported .. absolutely Beautiful.
This is definitely the musical score. I learned it and thank God I was capable.

Finally, I get to hear this piece and know what all the fuss is about!
This song is unbelievable. Rza made an insane sample out of this
Beautiful piece for the first day of Spring! Well played.
i remember when i first learnt this, took me years but i finally got it! if it weren't for my current exam i would so pick this piece up again right now, one of the favourite pieces ever! :)
It's interesting to hear this played at a slower tempo than is typical for recordings of this piece. Gives it a leisurely feel. Most renditions are quite fast and up beat. I like it.
Others are faster than this one? Wow.. I have it on a MIDI file that's slowed down to 25% and I enjoy it much at that speed.
As a child this was my favorite...listening to my mom's student Rita Lowe play this! Wow!
Someone told me I should listen to this; I wasn't let down!
I grew up list to my mother play this. She is gone n9w, but the memories live on
that's a very gorgeous song
Listening to this because I have to do it for competition in may…Wish me luck haha
Tolle Interpretation, vielen Dank fürs Einstellen!!!!
Much better than I can play it at the moment, I'm going to be aiming to do it for January. 2 pages left to go!
. . . this is excellent! Could not be better - and I know this piano piece!
Killarmy would not exist without this great music!
Listen to the Song Wu-Renegades
Best version so far
Wonderfull❣ Thank you, Alan ❣
Dulces recuerdos ...de mi madre al piano...
So happy !
Happy memories of your grandmother.
This is my recital piece! Wish me luck!
good luck
Thank you! I am very nervous!
How did it go?
I messed up quite a lot, but I only learned it in a month and I'm always a nervous wreck when I get on stage Dx

This is the required piece for the 11 year old NJMEA piano competition. Wow!
One of my final pieces mastered after 12 years of piano lessons. The music has some technically challenging sections, but is, for the most part, easier to play than it sounds, with most of the rapidity made up of simply arpeggiated passages.
You ripped that from the Wikipedia article on the piece.
Interesting the addition of the low c at the second meter by the player. I'm thinking of adding it myself
what i love about this piece is that it’s not as hard as it looks. i’m an intermediate pianist and i can at least read it at tempo (but maybe without as much expression as i would like lol)
Try listening to this alongside this one - rain and thunder relaxing sound effect (1 hour) - it's... well, it's just wonderful :)

I think this is closest to the tempo Sinding intended. Too many play this a little too fast.
So beautiful it sounds like there are two pianists :)
cool
came here after hearing Willie the Lion's homage Echo of Spring.

Ive watched this video about a thousand times, because I'm trying to play it for a school performance and still can't get past page 2
Keep trying. Practice makes perfection.

@@rossstone3885 took me a long time to reply to you. How's it going? Did you make it?
It sounds like there is constant whispering and light talking in the background, does anyone else hear it?
Bruh yea I thought I was going crazy
@@ambrin1885 It could be an audience possibly, though, I quite like the whispering for some reason. Like it adds a new dimension of immersion
I can hear it too. Someone was probably talking

Lol hear the talking at the beginning?
I hear talking the whole piece lol
When is a semiquaver not a semiquaver? ---- when it's part of a smooth melody!!! In this performance the melody semiquaver is too terse at times.
He was obviously trolling
Easy XD

How in the fk are you supposed to play dis o_0 I'm trying and failing spectacularly
The complexity is so satisfying XD
VulpineKitsune i finished playing this like a few months ago, if u remeber the right hand part itll be easy, good luck!
