    Playing classical music on a lever harp is difficult. I am amazed at how you changed the levers without missing a single note. Way to go!

      Thank you so much! It took a lot of practise, and there were a lot of times I did miss notes…! 😂

      Wow Tamsin!!! I can barely play this on the piano and you make it look so easy on the harp!!!
      Incredible!!

    I think it does help to have such a beautiful harp with those fantastic levers too, but clearly you’re an Angel descended to sit behind it and play so beautifully. 💐🌟🥰

    The harpist is a fairy, the music is a dream, and the performance is quite amazing! I never thought that this could be played on a lever harp. You are the greatest master of lever change, too, without doubt. I think I'll never be able to do that so smoothly. Thank you for uploading this inspirational video!

      @@TamsinDearnley I confirm that you are a rare artist Tamsin!! Indeed, the works of French composers are so endearing 5Satie, Ravel, Fauré etc). But beyond that, you always have a lot of respect in your arrangements and interpretations. Apart from the change in tone, but which does not upset the listening at all. Really fantastic. Congratulations again and thank you for your research which really advances the repertoire for the lever harp, I'm a fan 👍🌺.

      @TamsinDearnley  Рік тому +1

      Thank you so much for watching! I just made sure to play it really slowly until I had the two parts properly in sync against each other.
      I find it helpful to practise short sets of 2 against 3 and 3 against 2 polyrhythms first to make sure that my brain is warmed up before going for the full bar.
      This video I think is really helpful: ua-cam.com/video/0Y_cXA-Uglc/v-deo.html :)
