What a unique and wonderful way to celebrate Victober! I love piano music and this is a beautiful performance. Thank you for introducing us to Darryl.🍂👏🏻🎼
That was fantastic- such talent. And well done Kate for yet again coming up with new and interesting Victober content despite having so much going on in your personal life. Truly appreciate your effort xx
I am blown away listening to this as I enjoy my Saturday morning coffee. Daryl is so amazingly talented. Thank you for researching this piece. I'm exhausted just watching you play it to perfection 😊
That was so amazing!!! First of all, what fantastic idea, Kate! And then, great detective work, Darryl, followed by beautiful playing!! It felt like a mini concerto!!!❤
Wow!!! What a wonderful treat!!! ❤ Thank you so much!!! My researcher's heart enjoyed the explanation of Dr Friesen's hunt for the piece with such vague information, almost the same amount that his magnificent playing of it 🙌 And listening to such a virtuous interpretation of the genius of a compositor from a while ago is like magic. When he played that last note I was at my apartment in Santiago Chile applauding with tears in my eyes ❤ Thank you Kate and Dr Friesen!! 🙏
What a treat! Thank you Kate! And a round of applause and special thanks to your friend Darryl. Wonderful to hear this virtuoso piece brought to life again from the past. Fantastic!
OMG!! That was absolutely AMAZING! I loved all the variations on the theme (is that where that expression comes from!). And variation 6! I had no idea that was coming. This was fabulous and such a beautiful performance. Thank you so much for putting this piece out into the world. And WOW MOLLY!!
That was an absolute delight to listen to, what a treat! Thank you both, Kate and Darryl. ❤ (By all means feel free to make this the beginning of a series. 😉 hehe)
What an inspired video thanks very much! I suspect the Scottish Air was adapted by Kalkbrenner, Interestingly as an English child we used to sing 'When Molly was a baby, a baby a baby, when Molly was a baby a baby was she, she went this away and that away and this way and that away, when Molly was baby a baby was she.' to what Dr Darryl Friesen called 'Did you ever see a Lassie.' which is perhaps why Elizabeth Gaskell had chosen the tune.
@@katehowereads I should have explained that a little better it was an action song, so Molly being a baby I would have done a rocking baby movement, Molly was a sweetheart, a swinging skirts movement, back to Molly being a mother, rocking movement. I wonder if perhaps as a children's song it, it was one Gaskell knew. She'd have been three generations before me, Manchester's about a two hour drive from here.
@@clarepotter7584 Oh how cool! I think it seems likely that she would have. They were much better about handing down songs orally then before electronic recordings of music.
Oh my! How incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much, Darryl, for all your research and preparation so you might present this lovely piece to us. I am thankful for the love of literature and music you and Kate share (and share with us). ❤❤❤
By coincidence I am listening to Wives and Daughters on audiobook right now. I am about 7 hours in and totally hooked. I haven't got to the soiree mentioned yet. I'm looking forward to it! Lovely painting behind you.
What a wonderful piece and what a brilliant performer! I’m amazed that a young girl would be expected to play such a piece. This idea of approaching a book from a different angle is pure genius, thank you!
This was beautiful! Thank you for this! Are you reading The Coral Island on your own? I just wanted to give you a heads up that I wouldn’t consider it appropriate for a read aloud. I enjoyed it but there are some very dark parts. Sending you prayers and warm thoughts!
This was beautiful. Thank you for researching this and sharing.

Holy crap. Molly Gibson was a beast on the keys 🎹!!

So wonderful Darryl, you are a Victober treasure!
What a beautiful piece, and what a masterful performance 👏 Thank you, Kate and Darryl.
What an amazing video idea! I have multiple degrees in music and have never heard of this composer. Lovely piece!
Absolutely amazing! What a treat! Thank you Kate and Darryl!!
A standing ovation for this performance by Darryl 👏👏👏 Thank you so much for sharing!
Incredible! 👏😱 Looks like Molly beats Jane Fairfax when it comes to piano accomplishments! 😆

Wonderful. Thank you Darryl and Kate.
I love this!!🎉🎉🎉❤

Wonderful performance! Apparently Kalkbrenner was much admired as a virtuoso in his day by the likes of Chopin who moved in the same Parisian circles.
