Thank you!

Thank you!

Ah interesting to hear - thank you so much!

Thank you kindly - it's mainly the opening few minutes in particular where I have a few quite substantial messy places as a result of me being rather stiff. It really made me appreciate just how much harpsichord is not piano! - I found it much more intimidating because it's so easy to play wrong notes because of how light the action is and there's no touch sensitivity with the keys, which did tend to make me quite tense overall in my approach because of the worry of playing wrong notes...

On a separate note the harpsichord is incredibly prominent in this recording so my errors are all the more glaring...

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much! I agree - definitely not at the moment but I must confess that I feel weird about the potential of AI one day being able to create genuinely great musical works, but hopefully we can be rest assured that the public will not prefer listening to music created by AI over their fellow humans...

@@jamesmayhew2538 Art has to be relatable, without life experience and feelings you can only replicate the material forms, A.I. jumbles everything it knows into a blender and regurgitates copies of "nothing" and that's not relatable in any sense, it lacks personal specificity. A good outcome would be to force people to go back to the concerts with real artists performing instead of only recorded music, I doubt but wishful thinking doesn't hurt.

@@Jazzmaster58 sorry for the long-awaited reply - yes I agree - who knows though, perhaps at some point it may develop to the point where we can't distinguish between AI and human-produced music... For classical music that might take longer but with the progress for example in AI art I see no reason why it won't happen... Regarding people going to see real artists actually I think people won't stop doing that anyway because we've had recorded music for quite a long time now and nothing compares to the energy of being in the room with a musician in person.

Thanks for your feedback - yeah I’m aware things were a little uneven - partly because my hands were rather cold from waiting in the cold cathedral until the two people before me in that concert had played! But yes partly lack of the apposite practice… Thank you! Yes the cathedral was open to visitors but I was so focused on playing I didn’t notice them lol And yes I like to think that it is a bit better now so hopefully I will perform it again soon

Yes it really is a fantastically crafted piece - thanks!

Grazie mille!

Thanks!

Thanks! Not quite sure myself - it was a lot of work I can tell you…

Thank you so much! Glad to hear - it’s a piece I’ve had on the go for a long time so I think I’ve become quite personal with it Obviously still a way to go…

Cheers! Ah nice - I should listen to his recording again soon

Yeah right

Agreed!

They're decent for sure

Thank you so much! It certainly was rather a lot of work, I can tell you that... Stay tuned over the next 6 months or so - I'll likely perform it again and upload that video.

​@@jamesmayhew2538 Wow I'm looking forward to watching it soo much! Btw, do you have a plan to perform other movements of Concerto for solo piano?

@@Pianistic_Jade apologies for the delay - thanks - yeah for sure I do! Can't put a finger on when but I would love to perform the complete concerto hopefully within the next couple of years.

Thanks! Yeah I couldn’t have imagined actually performing this upon first discovering it just a few years later

Thanks Daveed! 😂
