Topic: Danny Boy / Londonderry Air (Pianoteq 8)

Londonderry Air - Inspired by Keith Jarrett - Kawai Warm
When playing this wonderful melody I was inspired to play slow . 
(Keith Jarrett - Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) (Tokyo - 2002) on Youtube).

There is just something emotional in the melody, something that draws the emotion out of me. Like ”feeling with brain but thinking with heart” My playing might be an uplifting moment for you (or not). 
Even if the arr and playing is simple, I like the emotions in there, with Kawai Warm. Simple is sometimes beautiful I think.

This is SUCH a wonderful song for slower and simpler to allow for rich harmonies and movement. Nicely done! Key changes here are nice, and I think that many of your harmonies just invite one to sink into them and enjoy all the wonderful complexities of the instrument and the emotional intent.

Cheers,
