unfinished study of Fryderyk Chopin by Hadi Karimi...
This is an excerpt of an original composition that is called "One Moment of Truth". ❤️ The full video is on my youtube channel (ManuellArts) ; I also post song covers and original songs ☺️
I would really like to know what you think; what it made you feel or think of. I hope it'll bring you some peace of mind ❤️
Olga Plats: Art of the Potpourri
I am not the greatest fan of the pastiche recording: the Greatest Hits of Paganini, My Favorite Debussy, and the like. But everything old is new again, and I’ve found one I enjoy from I player I’ve never heard of before.
The album is not new, 2007, and neither is the player: Olga Plats. But I’ve never heard of her before, not that that means anything. Born in 1938 in Portugal, her career seems dominated by both teaching and chamber music performance. Then out comes this album of individual, small works, many of them well-known to the general ear. A Gavotte here, a Sarabande there, a Liszt Réve, a Shostakovich Prelude, a Brahms variation, a mote of Mompou, and what is becoming a perennial favorite if you go by the number of players who program it these days: the Berio Wasserklavier. Anyway, you get the idea. Or do you? Do I? I don’t think so! But I like it anyway! (She even includes a bit of Chick Corea... c’mon now.)
The answer may lie in an accompanying book. Actually, I cannot tell if the book came first and then the music, or the music followed by the book, or both together, or some other chrono-combo. They share a title. The book is a series of interviews or conversations with one Sérgio Azevedo (a composer, obviously, who is represented on this disc with a two-piano tango and waltz). I have not read the book but welcome anyone who has done so to enlighten me.
The album, with a completely different cover and design from the book (and a most delightful album cover it is; I cannot find a worthy resolution to include, otherwise I’d publish it above), is available wherever fine music is streamed. Its distinction is, perhaps, modest. (Although the voice inclusion under/over the Schumann Kinderszenen and a few other works I find most fetching.) Still I recommend it wholeheartedly, especially for these summer afternoons in our strange, changing world: cool and warm all at once.
Yum.

Someone tell me I'm not the only one who finds this clip so amusing... "and then give up ✨all hope✨ here"
Movies that will make you fall in love with classical music
1. Amadeus
"This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.”
I can't put into words how amazing this movie is. If you haven't watched it already go and see it. It will teach you more about the transcendental power of music in than almost everything.
2. All the mornings of the world
“So, you’ve discovered that music is not for kings,” Sainte-Colombe says. “Yes,” Marais responds, “I discovered that it’s for God.”
This french film tells us about the healing power of music and it's ability to speak where words fail : "When I first saw Tous les matins du monde in a theater, I remember looking around me when the movie ended, and seeing the entire audience in tears. I have no idea if any of what happened in Tous les matins du monde is true, but on the subject of music, its truth is unshakable."
3. The Pianist
A heartbreaking and highly regarded Film about the jewish Pianists Władysław Szpilman's real life and suffering during the 2nd World war.
4. A late quartet
"Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable."
A movie about the difficulties a musical ensemble faces as their Violinist is diagnosed with Parkinson: a sickness that slowly takes away his motion control.
5. Impromptu
A young Hugh Grant plays great composer and Pianist Chopin: the Film focuses on the love story between young Frederic and George Sand.
6. Immortal Beloved
"It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer. The listener has no choice. It is like hypnotism"
This movie is too beautiful to put into words. Please watch it and i promise you will be moved to tears: it tells the tragic life story of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven and his failed attempts to find true love and meaning
7. The Soloist
This movie is based on the true story of a Journalist helping a sick musician to find his place in the music world again: The plot is based on the story of Nathaniel Ayers, a musician who developed schizophrenia and became homeless.
Classical Composer's and their last words
Mozart: "The taste of death is upon my lips...I feel something, that is not of this earth"
Bach: "Don't cry for me, for I go where music is born"
Beethoven: "Pity, pity, too late!"
Mahler: "Mozart! Mozart!"
Chopin: "Now is my final agony. No more." (while listening to Mozart's Requiem)
Bartok: "The sad thing is that I leave with so much to say"
Berg: "But I have so little time"
Fanfic idea !!! 🌹
Yennaia ofc.
The novices at Aretuza often gossip about the 'ghost' that haunts the halls with melodies.A piano had recently been placed at the school.🎹(decoration purposes)It was never used, according to Tissaia.She never really believed the rumors;never heard the songs for herself during the course of the nights until this particular night.So naturally she investigates this so called 'ghost'.
Only to find the last person she'd ever expect to see behind an instrument of such tranquility:Yennefer of Vengerberg.

Yes yes,pianos were only invented in the 1300's but who cares;in my mind it was introduced in the mid 1200's.It can in yours too.
NB!! you dont need to create a story exactly like this one, change it up however you want to.
