i never heard before this Eronel, but it's such a gem. It has that perfect balance of a catchy melody and those classic, quirky harmonic shifts that make this music so addictive to listen to.
Thank for sharing this.

Ha! The title - Eronel is Lenore spelled backward!!
Nice playing as always. Thank you budo.The piece is not as groundbreaking as some of his work you have played , but a great composition nonetheless.
Nice soft slow ending.I read somewhere that the pice is known for being a "hard to play" earworm, often featuring Monk’s signature dissonant, percussive piano style.
I can't comment on that, but how does it feel to play compared to previous Monk pieces?Thank you budo for sharing.
I gave a comment on Ev'rything I Love (Cole Porter) too.Best wishes,

thank you so much Stig. indeed this ballad sounds a lot more traditional than some of his other things, but there are still some wacky aspects that make it his signature style. i think it's a testament to how subtle he can be. there are not many composers who can take a fairly traditional song form and do something completely new like he can.
i think it was easier to play for me than some things, mainly because people aren't as familiar with this one so i didn't have to worry about living up to some classic interpretation. it took some of the pressure off
