Topic: "Winter Wind" Steinway D
Here's another fairly simple piece which will be part of the piano method book I'm working on:

Beautiful music, Nathan, and wonderful video presentation.
I also write for the educational market and recently have been placing things on TV
through Scorekeepers Music.
Keep up the good work!

Re: "Winter Wind" Steinway D
Thanks George, I appreciate it. I'll have to look into Scorekeepers, appears to be a great resource.
I have a friend who wrote a few books published by Alfred, she was also a clinician for them for years -- perhaps the two of you might know each other.
Thanks again,

Re: "Winter Wind" Steinway D
Brilliant performance. Great video. I wish I had that piano method book 60 yeras ago. For some reason I think of Vivaldi Four seasons, Winter, when listening 20 sec in beginning. It’s of course slower, a piano version I heard.
I am just an amateur, composing occasionally small pieces, for fun, and for taking part in Modartt video contest. Thank you for posting this. You are doing a great job.
Good luck!

Re: "Winter Wind" Steinway D
Many thanks.
Vivaldi is one of those well know, yet highly underrated composers. Far ahead of his time. He often had prelude like passages in his music -- fantastic harmonic progressions with driving rhythms. Great stuff. And yes he's a big influence on me.
All the best,

Re: "Winter Wind" Steinway D
I agree that Vivaldi is often seriously underrated, and inexplicably so. Johann Sebastian Bach, no less, studied Vivaldi's concertos and made arrangements of some of them (BWV 1065, for instance, is an arrangement of Vivaldi's op. 3 no. 10). They were to have a significant influence on his own concertos, and his instrumental style in general.
For me, hearing the Four Seasons (when I was about 6 or 7) was one of the things that made me want to be a musician!

Re: "Winter Wind" Steinway D
It won't be officially available until the book is complete, however I'm giving several pieces away to piano teachers as a way to promote it. Here's a link to the sheetmusic where it will be for a couple weeks, no charge:

Glad you like it!

Yes, it's a bit complicated... I'm shopping around for a better host.
Hope you enjoy the music.
