Godefroid - Etude de concert

Dearest Listener,
How delighted I am to upload a new video for your enjoyment. This composition was composed by Felix Godefroid; a Belgian harpist and composer. This piece is originally written for the harp; however, I do not know how to play the harp, so I decided to create my own arrangement for the piece. I studied the original score, and did my best to make sense of the music and see how it would translate to being played on the piano. There are some things that the piano cannot do such as playing harmonics which is a feature that is unique to the harp; that being said, this rendition will not be able to recreate a performance similar to a harp but rather a new performance.
I first discovered this piece in the fall of 2016 and heard it for the first time on TH-cam by a performance given by the Israeli harpist Noa Gabay • Etude De Concert by F.... listening to her play left an indelible impression on me that had me coming back time and time again re-experiencing the feelings that this music elicits from my heart. In the winter of 2021, the idea came to me that I should try and figure out how to play this piece on the piano(since I can’t play the harp). I began this project in 2022 with many inconsistencies; it was not until the fall of 2023 that I stayed consistent with actualizing this project to its completion. As of now it is late spring, the last day of May 2024. Here is the final presentation of this musical adventure into the world of harp music. I have grown so much and feel enriched through this artistic endeavor. It is my wish that this music touches your heart in a beautiful and meaningful way that I myself was touched by it years ago when I first heard it.
Thank you for taking the time to listen, be well in all of your ways and I look forward to sharing another recording in the future.
With the deepest of sentiments,
Adonis
