Hello Mark, thank you for your comment. I was always taught not to sit to high as I favoured playing on the pads of the fingers where possible. I found I would stoop at the piano which gave me backache so by lowering my piano stool height and sitting with a straight back, this particular problem went away. I hope this answers your question, Nick

@ Interesting. As a teacher and fellow musician. I was taught the opposite. It just reminds me of glen gould

@@MarkWeathers-vr6mr Hi Mark. I think it's all about what works for us as individuals. Some famous pianists favoured the lower seated position; Horowitz was perhaps the most famous of them all, but likewise Ashkenazy sat very high. It's a purely individual thing.

Thankyou

Hi George. I've had my microphones for at least 20 years. sE Electronics sE2200a (I use 2 going across each other for the best recording), I also upload the audio to my Cubase 13pro which allows a more polished recording. I hope this helps, Nick

Thanks George. Love your TH-cam channel; Autumn leaves with singer is wonderfully atmospheric. I'll leave a comment on there shortly, but bravo :)

Hello and thank you for writing. I replied previously, but because I included a link where to buy the music, it was obviously rejected by TH-cam. Instead of a link. I can tell you who arranged it: Melodie de Gluck by Giovanni Sgambati for piano solo. I hope this helps :)

Thank you for taking the time to write, always much appreciated

Thank you for taking the time to write, always appreciated.

Hello Nicolas, thank you for taking the time to write. Sorry the opening note was too loud, it is a great piece to learn though.

@@nicktaylorpiano Don't be sorry, this was not a complaint but a thing to point out :-) Other basses are too loud I think so in the rest of the piece.

Hello Alfie, it's very good to hear from you again and thankyou for the lovely comment. How are your compositions doing? You were hard at work composing some great songs last time I was teaching, I'm hoping you've expanded your list of compositions and will continue to create new music, you have a natural feel for composition. How's the rest of the group doing? Do send them my best regards, Mr T

hey sir, thankfully my compositions are going very well, I’ve got the ten odd songs under my belt as we speak, although my hope are high for a few I think only half of them will make the cut. I’m currently trying to get in contact with a few people who could get my music recorded and hear Is there another way that I’m able to contact you? as I don’t think a TH-cam comment section is a very suitable and professional way talk to an old friend, haha. Sincerely Alfie

@@alfster2548 Hi Alfie. It's wonderful to hear that your composition portfolio is gaining in strength. As a teacher I'm not allowed to give out my personal contact information, but I am more than happy to keep in touch with you on here. It's always lovely to know what talented musicians are doing and I will certainly be following your progress with great interest. I'm looking forward to your 1st published song. :)

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. Greetings from the UK :)

Hello Emanuel and thank you for taking the time to write, I have my reasons for sitting this way. It's much more informative to ask why, this way we gain an enlightenment instead of a closed statement for future reference :)

Thank you :)

Thank you, just subscribed. Keep uploading and enjoy!

I like listening your Piano while i'm reading. It helps me to clear up my mind and it makes me feel so peaceful

Thank you for the comment, I'm pleased the music works in that way for you.

Hello Wieland, this is how I see this Prelude, which at this moment in time works for me (I may feel differently tomorrow and play it in a different way), however always happy to listen to other interpretations. Which of the great interpretations on TH-cam would you like me to listen to? if you send a link I'll have a listen :)

Hello, Nick I propose: Gilels plays Rachmaninov: Prelude op. 23 no 10. There is also a video where Rachmaninov himself plays this prelude. @@nicktaylorpiano

Thanks for that, 2 wonderful performances on YT which shine even through the poor audio quality. I used to listen to a lot of Gilels, a wonderful and musical ianist as was Rachmaninoff. :)
