Chopin, coming from the past
full of eyes bathed in rain,
and sun.
Can you too keep your crosses straight to the sky like us?
maybe neither there...
there was a performance of a piece of music played in The Kingdom
that has never been heard beyond that room...
I have started this post with some photos taken in the city of Kraków in 2023. Indeed, the little concert I played in the Kingdom has never been shared with anyone (at least not by me), just that photo of me playing the piano appeared here. I thought it was not good enough, like not perfect; but what silly thoughts are those!?! Why would we expect ourselves to perform perfectly when it comes to live performances? Our whole life is not perfect. And things that happened in the past are how they are. We have to let things off, perfect or imperfect ones.
This video? Belongs in the latter group. The reason why I didn't publish it at first was that my playing had some mistakes or missed notes; I was ashamed of them. Later, when I listened to it again, I thought it was not that bad (like I could survive if others heard it 😆) and that maybe I would publish it one day, even though it is just one piece and not whole, the beginning of it is missing. And then - I forgot about it, until now when I found it.
I remember asking @hallmann whether there were chairs without arms (as I saw some photos with an armchair in front of the piano). I felt sorry that I wrote him the message late in the evening, but it was not a problem, as he was awake until 5 a.m., which is when he responded that there were other chairs I could use for playing the piano. I needed some additional cushions, though. 😆
The only thing that was perfect in this recording... was the audience. 😇 Hivers at HiveBeeCon!
I am grateful to all those who were there listening to this Waltz in E minor by Chopin, among other pieces. And I am also grateful in advance to those who will maybe happen to listen to this video. 🎶
¡Quedé flipando tía! Tenía mucho que no te escuchaba y vaya que la espera valió la pena. Todo se ve muy bonito y ni hablar del público. De seguro esto es un recuerdo que no olvidaras jamás. Te envío un fuerte abrazo 🤗
Hola @edwardstobia, jeje, me has hecho reír, gracias 😁
Mi blog ha cambiado un poco, ya no publico tanto contenido sobre música como antes (como hace algunos años) - esa es una de las razones por las que no me pueden escuchar muchas veces 😅
Sí, los encuentros en persona con otros usuarios de Hive no se olvidan, siempre es una experiencia agradable! Gracias por escucharme y por tu comentario, saludos igualmente y todo lo mejor para tu mamá, ¡¡ánimo !! 🙏
Dziękuję @ewkaw 🤗 🎶
Exceptionally beautiful, I love your agility in your fingers 😍 I don't know much about music, so whether you missed the notes or not is beyond me, I just heard a beautiful melody ❤️
Thanks for sharing it!
Muchas gracias 😇 I know that Buhito will fly over the piano keys with his wings with the same agility soon! 🎹🎶
That is so cool! If I knew how to play, I would do that too if allowed hahah. You did great. :D
Haha, if allowed 😂 Thank you very much @hiddenblade, I was hiding this video almost two years lol, now it arrived at Hive 😱😂
A lovely throwback post. You were worrying way too much, probably only a professional one classical music lover would be able to detect you errors. The rest of us are immersed in a beautiful live performance
Yes, you remember well that I was worried and nervous, as I wanted it to be a pleasant experience for my audience, Hive family 😇 I felt a huge responsibility :D
Spectacular... when I got to the end there was this wonderful video and now not only those hivers listened to you but all of us, me of course several times!!! What a beautiful memory! Thank you!🤗
Thank you @avdesing for listening, it was not a very relaxing piece hahaha, but an energetic one haha, we could not paint rock while listening to I think 😅
Gracias, de nuevo 🍀
Well .... could you paint me a stone with a lot of energy e.g. fire or lightning!!!! You always give me ideas!
Fire or lighting - I will be waiting for that rock in the community ;)
I said rocks???? hahahahaha good night!!!!
Like I always told my daughter, most people won't even realize you made a mistake, because their musical ability isn't up to yours. Anyway, most people want you to do well, so they also typically don't listen for mistakes. By the way, I enjoyed listening to it and my musical ability isn't good enough to hear any of those mistakes.
That's what I also say to my students, that the audience will not realise the mistakes and they should just keep on if errors appear in a performance. You know, sometimes we are our worst enemies, we block ourselves because of the fear or self-expectations, and some weird thoughts... but every performance is different, last week we had one with the choir - I was so calm that I didn't even hear my heartbeats hahaha. And everything came out perfectly 😇
Thank you very much for listening and enjoying this Chopin Waltz, @greensandpinks 🙏
Friend, how are you? I hope very well. You know that I was delighted with all the melody you presented and let me tell you that you are an excellent pianist, I loved it.
Greetings
Hello @morepina, I think I am fine, thank you, and I hope you are too ;) Thank you for listening! 😉🎶
Hi @mipiano, it seems to me that in every life there will always be some notes missing and others left over. I hope my life will sound as good as your interpretation. Thank you for not keeping this performance any longer, thank you for sharing it.
A big hug.
Hello @enraizar, good evening... You are so right, there are always some missing notes in our lives, but all is good if we can add interesting rhythm to it and a wide, rich melody, supported by chords that sound in harmony. I think we should tune our life-melody to our own musicality, and I am sure you have that skill too ;)
I hope you had a good day and tomorrow will be even better. I wish we could also come to Z... tomorrow is another busy day for me. Have fun and a great time, sending my greetings to everyone there!!
Good morning, @mipiano. I'm already on my way to Z, I'll tell you that I enjoyed reading, at this moment, your good nights.... Today I will spend the day with two of the suns I have met at Hive.
I would have liked to see you today too, 😊 hope you have a great day.
A hug.
Well I don't know much about piano, but I listened to it perfectly, hahaha a beautiful melody, and beautiful photos, that's life, you enjoy it as it comes and that's it, greetings.
Hello @ikigaidesign, I am glad you lied the piece, it is a cool one that I liked to play ;)
Someday you have to do it again :)
Would do it with pleasure 😊
Cierto que nada es perfecto y el arte es una inspiración para vivir!
When I read Chopin I said, sure there will be a video of her playing it and so it was.... I'm glad to hear you play after a long time without seeing such a great piano playing from you, that piece is really something, I understand that there could be something strange for you, but the magic of the interpreter and you know this very well, is to continue with the show as if nothing had happened 🔥🔥🔥... You did great, what a luxury to have been there with the other Hivers listening to you 🙌😀💛.... I send you a big hug my friend and I agree with you, sometimes not everything should go as it is, the spontaneous is also valid and also brings smiles hehe 🙏❤️.... You Classically Rockkkk!!!! 👍😎🔥📸🎹❤️
Cuando leí Chopin dije, seguro va a haber un video de ella tocando y así fue.. Me alegra escucharte tocar luego de un buen tiempo sin ver una tocada tan genial tuya en el piano, esa pieza se las trae, entiendo que pudo haber algo extraño para ti, pero la magia del intérprete y esto lo sabes muy bien, es seguir con el show como si nada hubiera pasado 🔥🔥🔥... Lo hiciste grandioso, qué lujo haber estado ahí con los demás Hivers escuchándote 🙌😀💛... Te mando un fuerte abrazo amiga mía y estoy muy de acuerdo contigo a veces no todo debe salir como es, lo espontáneo también es válido e igualmente saca sonrisas jeje 🙏❤️... You Classically Rockkkk!!! 👍😎🔥📸🎹❤️
A pesar de ser un lego en materia musical, escucharte me ha resultado de lo más emocionante. Gracias por mostrar tu virtuosismo.
Waoooo que bella interpretación!!!🥰 Por suerte la conexión a esta hora de la madrugada fue perfecta y pude disfrutar el video completo. Es un lujo comenzar el día así, gracias por compartir ese momento. Un abrazo 🤗
I think you shared it at the best time to make that great memory shine for eternity! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now the audience has grown up and we are still perfect despite our imperfections because that's how it is... you know. Hahaha... how beautiful, my Universe, to be able to access this memory. Thank you again.
