A remarkable performance of the Chopin Nocturne in c-sharp minor Op. Posth by a young Tiffany Poon (at her graduation recital), which is worth watching (at least if you are a pianist) because you can see her hands and pedal foot throughout.
A nice video (and performance) of 6 of the Opus 25 Chopin Etudes (with manuscript scores) played by Francois-Rene Duchable. Even after literally spending hundreds of hours practicing these, they do not become stale.
Das Spiel des französischen Pianisten Jean-Nicolas Diatkine wird häufig gelobt. Für seine neue CD hat er Chopins 3. Sonate und die Präludien aufgenommen.
Walkedwith the dog in tall grass at a local park and managed not to pick up any ticks.
Finalized my itinerary and flights for a trip to the UK next month. Will have a few free days in #London and looking for suggestions on a non-touristy, quiet area with #bookstores, cafes and live #jazz
Sat at the #piano and played through a #Chopin piece I've been away from for several weeks. It wasn't horrible; I'm now focused on areas I still need to practice. #PianoPractice.
On se passe une nouvelle fois le #Prélude de #Chopin en mi mineur, Op. 28 nᵒ 4 ? qui joue un rôle important dans la diégèse d’Anatomie d’une chute… J’ai choisi une version interprétée par #GrigorySokolov.
#piano practice this morning went well: working on a little #Chopin and a little #Bach as sort of opposite modes, and some progress seems to be happening.
feeling quite a bit better after a difficult #lupus#myocarditis weekend. The beach beckons but proofs go first. Hope everyone has a good day today, or at very least an interesting one!
Camille Thomas is the latest cellist to be playing the Feuermann Stradivarius, a 1730 instrument with an incredible history—having been in the hands of cellists such as Franchomme, de Munck, Feuermann, Isserlis, Ishizaka, and now Thomas.
This is a wonderful performance of the Largo from Chopin's Sonata, Op. 65, arranged for cello and piano, in Hong Kong.
