So good, Tom! Thanks for this. I remember seeing Oscar Peterson in Albert Hall before he passed away. He could hardly walk. But, boy! the fingers were still butter smooth and lyrical as ever. What a titan of a musician.

Love this piece. Dug it out several years ago. Helped me to rediscover Oscar. Never knew there were words. My wife is a singer and we have a gospel choir……..hmmm. Prefer the sound of the piece in Bb. Always good to try something in all twelve…thanks man. Nice work.

[@thomascordery7951]

Yes Tom, I've often thought what an absolutely stunning piano that old Blüthner is, whenever you've brought it into these lessons. 😊

[@dannuttle9005]

Yeah this song is so great for harmonic analysis. I'm learn a lot from it. Trying to learn it in all keys.

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

That's a great idea!

@@contemporaryschoolofpiano just heard a beautiful cover by Dione Taylor on Spotify. Thanks again for bringing this song to my attention. Now to try and get my fingers around it. 😂

[@HieronsProductions]

A great tutorial and beautifully played!

[@hernod8501]

Thanks for this! Your the 🥇

[@mvarick1]

Thank you Tom! Awesome take.
If I might add, Oscar is Canadian.Yes, he is black. And he as a Canadian writing the most important civil rights song … for Americans at that time.
Glenn Gould - another Canadian - around the same time as a pianist- did the same thing- but to the USSR.
Might you do a treatment on Gould’s Goldberg Variations?
/what is in the water in Canada?!

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Yes, he was Canadian!

[@42Rdekker]

Awesome ❤

[@belindadrake5487]

OSCAR IS GOD!!!! 🎹😈✨👊🏾

[@grahamhutchison8036]

Wow...

[@aquammenti2881]

Is there any cover with the lyrics ?

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Yes there are numerous versions on UA-cam!

[@rodriguezturennetino2533]

What is the music on the begining the video ?

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

An original composition named "London Contemporary School of Piano You Tube theme music" thanks for asking.....!!

[@yiuqwfj]

Sounds like "Aux Champs-Elysées"

[@morrisparrish76]

No: listen to “peace for South Africa”!
