  • I first came across this while listening to Rachmaninoff playing his own works in the album "A Window in Time", which has served me well during many long car rides. A very dreamy and uplifting piece, capped off with an exquisite final flourish. Originally written for voice and piano.
    Set to the poem by Ekaterina Andreyena Beketova:
    In the morning, at daybreak,
    over the dewy grass,
    I will go to breathe the crisp dawn;
    and in the fragrant shade,
    where the lilac crowds,
    I will go to seek my happiness...
    In life, only one happiness
    it was fated for me to discover,
    and that happiness lives in the lilacs;
    in the green boughs,
    in the fragrant bunches,
    my poor happiness blossoms...
    Piano: Kawai Novus NV10
    Piano VST: Garritan CFX Full

    I can see light pink lilacs and a very elegant girl on dress standing among them, in a light gush of gentle wind. ❤Bravo

    I absolutely love your playing and the way you make the piano sing with your light but precisely expressing the emotion with each touch of each single note. In awe watching it. The poem is gorgeous.

    Wonderful! Say I have a yamaha Nu1x. Like you were from reading on the pianoworld forum, I'm struggling to add a vst to my hybrid. It's confusing and want to get a great sound (as well as other sounds). Mind if I ask for your help? Keep up the great playing :)

    Are you playing an acoustic Kawai? Or is it a high end Kawai digital? Sounds amazing.

    By the way I think the natural light is much much better than the yellowish light from your other videos. Hope all your videos will use that kind of lighting onwards. Or do you prefer the yellowish background for some pieces?

    • @rach3master
      @rach3master  3 роки тому +2

      I prefer natural light too. But sometimes I only have time to record at night.

    Your interpretation is my favourite of this piece on UA-cam. I was wondering about 1:51-2:09. It sounds unlike what's written in the score as found on imslp. Are there different versions of this transcription?

    • @rach3master
      @rach3master  Рік тому

      Thanks. I think he revised the original elaborate version to this more simplified one.

    • @frankiewai5572
      @frankiewai5572 Рік тому

      @@rach3master Could not seem to find the revised transcription online. IMSLP versions have the sextuplets at the top of the fourth page that he possibly revised to a simpler version. The upper voice in the 3/4 section that follows on that page has also been revised into a middle voice with accompaniment on the highest voice. Any chance you could forward me the score you used? It'd be much appreciated. I'm trying to learn this piece myself but I prefer the version that you play.

    • @frankiewai5572
      @frankiewai5572 Рік тому

      I wouldn't mind purchasing my own copy of the score either. I just want to have the same score you learned. If you could forward the website link where you purchased your copy, that'd be just as great!
