Free Distortion – PianoTweet no. 25 (Replay)

by

This recording was made with a very free mind.
I actually felt so free that
the audio signal of the piano was recorded a little too loud.

It’s a nice analogy with real life.
With a free mind someone might cause distortion.
But “watt” is distortion? (Ah, I see a distorted word over there…!)
Distortion (also) means a deformation of a pattern.

Sometimes it’s really healthy to get rid of a pattern.
A pattern can feel like a prison.
Me, like a Prisoner in disguise. Oh no…!
So go and distort – if you wanna feel free!

This distorted piece was written
with the beauty of the harmonic patterns of B minor.

Just as simple as the key of this piece is, C Major.
No flats, nor sharps.
Just the basic one, the first one, the strongest.

During my stay in Italy I performed this piece in many variations.
As a “pianobar” piano player.
Especially in a grand hotel,
where I played during sunday morning’s breakfast.
Big deal.

I wish any follower of this great and continuing project
to enjoy a good day, even a better day!

Getting up early and starting your day with a PianoTweet:
there’s nothing like that…

The Best Ever – PianoTweet no.16 (Replay)

Today the past sounds again, but now literally.
I recorded the original of this piece in the late 80’s.
Duration 7 mins 17 secs.

The reason for choosing this title is simple:
it was the best and the most beautiful grand piano I ever played on.
A real Bösendorfer Concert Grand! Length: 2.90 m.
At the bass side extra keys were situated:
black painted and extended to an extra low C key.
Maybe the best description for the instrument is:
“majestic”.

I composed this music for a theatral production.
During the last minutes of this performance
the spectators were watching one of the actresses,
playing she was dying
at the end of the performance.

Like future tells us:
The real best has yet to come.

Can you Forgive? – PianoTweet no.20 (Replay)

by

Do you hear the Question?
Do you feel the Despair?
How I’m insisting?
To get rid of my feelings of guilt?
Take a moment, ask… and ask again.

I discovered that
I sometimes really do need
someone’s will to forgive me,
before I can go on with my life.
Isn’t that claiming another person?
A shift of responsibility?

The key of today’s PianoTweet is F minor,
which is parallel to A flat major.

It’s so near to each other:
One way <–> Forgive me

Forgive me this moment,
letting me and my mind associate this way.
I feel free.
Free of feelings of guilt.

Perspectives – PianoTweet no.19 (Replay)

One of my favorite issues and insights.
Look at a subject.
The viewing angle is decisive.
Change it, and the subject will change along with it.
Like a color, changing in sunshine and changing in darkness.

The main, equal notes above a basic “murmuring”,
that’s my way to interpret “Perspectives” today.
In D major.
Probably tomorrow I would play it
from another perspective,
in a different way.

Enjoy your day, starting with this piece from @PianoTweets!
