I have to share with you that your work inspired my 4 year old to want to take up piano. He can't stop watching your videos. He begs me - "mommy please show me that guy that plays the piano so good!" :) thanks for igniting that passion in him!
I do not understand dislikes on this piece of music. One comes here because of taste in this kind of music, not by accident, and this is a great piece of music.
To me, this song is named "The Letter" because it's meant to describe the emotions of reading through a letter from a loved one. Especially, it makes me think of a mother reading a letter from her son who's away at war. Maybe I'm crazy, anyone else agree?
6 Monate später --- David - ich höre auch dieses Stück immer noch jeden Abend und ich liebe es! Bitte sei unser Gast hier in Deutschland und lass uns Deine wunderbare Musik mit Deinem wunderbaren Klavierspiel "live" erleben! DANKE für all`Deine schönen Klänge.
You are a phenomenal pianist. everytime I hear you play, I feel as though my spirit is in a world I have never been in before, and that world is very beautiful and it takes my breath away. Never feel discouraged. You have a teenager who never ceases listening to your magical pieces.
🙂This is absolutely my favorite piano piece of all time! I am in my seventies. I began piano lessons with my grandmother at five. Then went on to learn from Margurite Lister, affiliated with Sherwood School of Music...and then took a few lessons from a Bill Cowdery in Ohio. However, this man blows me away. I have purchased most of his books....I always dreamed of knowing Chopin. Well, I feel this man is the equivalent or even surpasses him. I love his music... And am learning some of his pieces that I love so much. Some will take a while. Ha!
So far, I have purchased two of this awesome composer's works. I intend to download, at least, one other book. This particular piece The Letter moves me to tears. It is so beautiful!!! I have had classical works move me to tears, especially Prokofiev, and Rachmaninoff, but this is the only piano piece that has stirred such strong emotion in me. This man is phenomenal!! So is his masterpieces. I have played the piano off and on, all my life. Some years were interrupted by life events....My son, Loves the Bell Carol, and wanted me to learn it. I did. And I am thankful that he brought my attention to this phenomenal man's works!!! This is, I have to say, my absolute favorite, so far...
Dear David, I thought I was living in Heaven before I heard your music..since I already live in Paradise here in Hawaii..... I was wrong. This is SO beautiful that I am crying with Joy as I write, listen and absorb the kind of sounds my Soul has longed to hear, play..and radiate. now Thanks to the Miracle of discovering your songs..I am truly in the Zone. THE LETTER and Incantation are at the top of my list. All the others are right underneath them!! Kudos and Aloha.
As a teenager and in my twenties (70’s and 80’s) I just loved writing letters and of course receiving them. Occasionally I would use an old Remington or an Olivetti typewriter but I really preferred handwriting them. The high I would get when posting the letters to my sweetheart or receiving his replies was priceless. The Letter, in both its versions, describes that emotion to a T. A magnificent masterpiece. You are pure genius David.
David, muito boa noite. Tua musicalidade é emocionante. O piano fala direto com as emoções!! Você é simplesmente fantástico. Espero um dia poder assisti-lo ao vivo. Forte abraço, e obrigado por existir!!! Saiba que você faz muita gente feliz com sua técnica musical que funciona como um remédio para alma!!
This piece is like finding gold.... in the sea..... this piece itself is shining gold to me. There is nothing in this world, more pleasing than a letter. Which do you think... is writing it or receiving it better? I have letters from the dead and those moved away.... your piece reminds me of how I'll see them again one day.... it brings peace and your composition is a treasure it stays in my mind... and holds me together.
This and Carol Of Bells was the perfect way to start our Christmas, Thank You for taking us to a much better place in our celebration of Christ and all that he did for us. Merry Christmas David to you and your family!
We al know his a special player. His music give me a very good feeling inside. What ever, when a listening to his must style, al the bad things gone away out of my minded. Whit the effects on the back ground. Amazing to listening to it. I love his music and love het style white beat. Success from Belgium.
I have just been converted over to a piano listening dude! Truly amazing, I wish I had run into this a long time ago. This music would have been so helpful during all my tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. My hat is off to you Sir. Thank You!
David, what an exceptional talent you have! You out do yourself every time! Love this piece and all that you have published on youtube. A true delight to listen to!
Ok, I admit it...I can't go a single day without my David Hicken fix! Currently, The Letter has pulled into 1st place, but that's only because I'm intrigued by the orchestration. The oboe, and percussion in particular. I am so overwhelmed by your talent, David it makes me want to weep. Please continue to post your videos.
this, camille, incantation and the letter. OMG. everyday listening to it. going to work, at work, going back home from work. People need to know about you. period.
I just bought and downloaded some of your compositions yesterday for my pupils, cause they love your music. They are going to enjoy their piano lessons and their practicing at home thanks to you ! :)
David, this is such a beautiful masterpiece! I've just recently been introduced to your music and am absolutely smitten. This brings me back to my first love, classical music. You Sir, have inspired me to continue in the pursuit. Thank you! I look forward to hearing more of your phenomenal pieces.
Your work is incredible, sir, and an inspiration to me as your style reminds me of my own--only 4,000 times more skilled. I enjoy so many of your pieces but this is your best work as it marries your rhythmic-driven style with such an incredible and memorable set of melodies. Favorite part: 3:25 - 3:38 Thank you for all you do

The beauty, balanced with the richness of each and every note, give this song a truly vibrant, romantic, and deeply emotional feel. Well done.
I'm in need of your prayers and support. Please keep me in your thoughts as I navigate my health journey.
