In this covid time I take a walk every now and then, and think about things and difficulties in life. After a walk it feels good to play Pianoteq and compose.
]]>I saw her tears in the eyes, and couldn't do anything - so I composed with Pianoteq......Bechstein Cinematic.
]]>The Six Little Preludes ( BWV 933-938) are a group of preludes written by the composer Johan Sebastian Bach for harpsichord. They are all short, pedagogical efforts written in or around the period of 1717–1720, but they were not published until 1802.This is one of a series of 18 preludes Bach sporadically produced primarily for instructive purposes.(Wikipedia)

BWV 938 with harpsichord, Blanchet
]]>It’s such a wonderful prelude (learning this now). I think it is not so little because, to me, it’s not easy, it’s challenging. Like my Bach-playing with Organteq (I think over 100 recordings now) Bach's music is always difficult.
Anyway, we don’t have a Pianoteq with Organteq pedalboard yet, so I tried with some ”drums” to classical music. And, It didn't turn out so well, as I had expected? Or did it……
I went down to the lake to feed the mallards. The music describe the cold water where mallards were swimming back and forth. They seemed dissatisfied when I fed them bread crumbs. I myself froze and thought - In any case, you mallards, don’t have Covid - and went home. Then the mallards were quiet.
I was inspired by a Finnish composer, A Sallinen. Was thinking of his music when looking at the mallards. Then this was born.
Amazing composition? Someone think so. I don't know about that
Wow, every time I visit so many new pieces - and all with such heart and lovely thoughts attached.
Just listened to "Christmas Again" on the main forum - love what you've created, lovely moments and surprises ring true.
Enjoyed also "My Wild Duck" fun around the piano - also felt your empathetic thoughts through "Gentle" and the narrative marked so well in "Christmas Prayer".
All good things to you.
Thank You for giving me Inspiration, Qexl. I appreciate your encouragement. Nice that you like my music. But I have to say, my fingers, some days they do not work, some days better. Probably beginning osteoarthritis. I know it is affecting millions of people worldwide. I play more those days they work. Just wishing that I can take part in the Contest once again, my ninth Maybe I have to compose the entry piece already in summer, and keep it waiting, if it goes worse. Anyway, I love playing. And although my time is short here on earth, it don’t bother me. I have seen my life has been, and is, meaningful to me and others, and has been rewarding. So I live every day happy and do all things I like, and can do, as long as I live, and making other peopke happy make me happy. Thank you for always being helpful and for you nice comments
Thank you,
Stig

]]>Revised with Pleyel Player 1926. (name before Waiting for Christmas....)
I thought this could be the right piano this time, when taking a little time out to reflect on my christmas childhood memories.
I listened long ago to Gonzales Gogol. Now I was inspired to make something and this is the outcome, my composition My Wild Duck. I read that gogol come from Ukrainian gogol 'wild duck'. That how I named my composition. It is just for laughs, as an amusement for guests, for fun. Maybe some of you find it amusing too
]]>When I tried this sound I immediately liked it much. It gave me gentle feelings, and after an hour this piece suddenly was born. Hope you like it
]]>Delicious chords, introspective and precious - thank you Pianoteqenthusiast!
Thanks for listening to my music and encouraging me. And I want you to know how much I appreciate it. You are a person, that always have our best interest at heart, you always want to help
