I am so enjoying hearing you play today. Each one is gem and a treasure and the music of Grieg is a perfect match for the Finnish landscape.
Lovely playing!

Thank you Gérard much for kind comment and for listening to my music. I appreciate it.
And I’m so glad I became a member of Gaston School when the five members of the Gaston School Management Committee decided to admit me definitively. I hope you are satisfied with the result. I’m playing/composing more and more because of the encouragement at School

Interesting speaker. I am looking for it but it’s hard to find in my city. Have to look in other cities. Have to listen to it. Thanks for telling.

And what a nice picture you have on desktop in your laptop !! Where is the winter that beautiful ?

Bonjour Stig,

Nice little piece, yes, and good choice of organ combinations !

About headphones, my hearing aids don't like them !
So I listen with my Bose Soundlink Mini. Despite its small size, the sound is amazing and the basses are well rendered.

Once Upon a Time (No 1 from”Lyric Pieces” Op 71) Edvard Grieg

I think this is a wonderful little lyric piano piece by E Grieg (died 4.9 1907).
As usual I experimented with different sound combinations/stops and found some ”new” sounds that I think fit this piece of music. Glad I found an organ transcription.

As a little idea, you can try playing with a sound one octave higher than the notes indicate.
The melody, mostly, is in that way, with Quintaton 16 played one octave higher than the notes indicate.

Lyric piece:
A short instrumental compisition that is typically very expressive and melodic and often represents personal feelings and moods.

Lyric pieces is a collection of 66 short pieces by Edvard Grieg. They were published in 10 volumes. Once Upon a Time is from book X, Op 71.

I enjoy very much listening to this piece over and over again.
The pictures are from my country, Finland, photographed in early February outside my City's archipelago. The winter is sometimes cold but the nature is beautiful.
The bridge in 2 pictures, in the background, is Finland's longest.

I hope you enjoy this music.

Edit: I try to play a bit faster, a bit slower, very expressive, to get the mood and feelings……

Edit 2. I still insist on saying that my music often sounds better with headphones as I always have to use them when recording
