  • Piano version of the Carousel Waltz from the Richard Rodgers / Oscar Hammerstein II musical "Carousel." I have wanted to play this piece for many years, and absolutely adore the music of Richard Rodgers.

    Am I LOSING IT. OR DOES THAT PIANO SOUND HARSH ,DISCORDANT, & OUT OF TUNE, THE PLAYING IS ABSOLUTELY FIRST CLASS& DESERVES A FIRST CLASS PIANO.

      And yet, there's an added thematic authenticity to its being played on a vintage sounding piano.

    Splendid ... feels like we're on a circa 1900 carousel ! We are THERE.

    Fantastic playing. I love this waltz and as one of my favorites. It takes a lot time and determination to master it and you have. Hats off to you.

    I used to play this on the piano when I was in HS in 1963

    I have never heard this played on a piano exclusively! The arrangement is brilliant! I think it so closely mimics the orchestral sound of the original. I was a professional pianist and I would have loved to play this piece in my younger days when I had a piano.

    The intro of Tunnel of Love , from Dire Straits' Wembley show uses part of this beautiful song on saxophones. Such a wonderful music to hear !

    Brava!! This is the first time I heard “The Carousal Waltz” as a piano solo and it was a thrill to listen and watch you enthusiastically play. This is one of my favorite Richard Rodgers piece. Did Rodgers create the music on piano first and compose this piece with orchestra in mind? Every time I see a live or film version of this fabulous musical, I am always bewitched with the overture of the “The Carousal Waltz”, as it indeed thrills my heart! Thank you for this beautiful piano performance!

    Staccato? NO!! It's a waltz and I just loved your interpretation of it as a waltz as it is supposed to be. All the others are a little too fluid and hear them all the time. I liked your attack on the piano and would also be great for a ballet studio for timing etc. It's a beautiful piece and you came across nicely. Do it again!!!

    Excellent job at playing this difficult piece! Do you know whether this is the original piano score as Dick composed it (i.e., as he gave it to to Don Walker to orchestrate); or a transcribed arrangement made from the orchestral score by an anonymous arranger?

    • @captdavec590
      @captdavec590 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I have the same question. Where is the original score as Dick wrote it?

      Purchase the full vocal score from Hal Leonard - I modified the reduction a bit to make it sound the way I wanted and to match orchestral recordings a little better.

    Terrific job on this! It's a magnificent piece. I bought what I thought was a pretty good transcription but I don't think I like it. Are you willing to either part with or sell the arrangement that you used?

  • @kurtihrig6564
    @kurtihrig6564 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    a little too staccato for me--not enough fluidity

  • @rojavida
    @rojavida 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Amazing arrangement and great attempt but seemed a little pedestrian at times. I’m sure it’s difficult to play faster in this arrangement, but then that’s what piano repertoire is all about. Good job though,

  • @TheEnigmaroad
    @TheEnigmaroad 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi , very nice , but I agree with Kurt, pleeease, play and film it again with the camera over your shoulder so we only see your hands and the piano , slow it down just a tad, more fluidity, your almost there.

    Sounds more like a pub pianist and harsh heavy playing
