じ～ん（涙）

　あ～あ～、もう死んでもいい～！

　日本語で書くと大袈裟（笑）

　生徒さんのピアノに感動しました。あんなに美しく弾いてくれたら、もう死んでもいい～って思っちゃう（笑）

　実際には、死んでる暇はなくて、まだレッスン残ってます。

　今日は、来週の試験の伴奏の合わせとかで、お昼を食べそこなったので、今頃りんごかじってます。

　ええと、誰か、あの曲、弾いてる人いないかな。George NevadaのStarry Dome.　George Nevadaって、綺麗だけど、短い曲をたくさん書いた人って言うイメージがあるんだけど。

George Nevada: 'Starry Dome' for piano

This is taken from 'Piano Meditation - Music for the New Age'. George Nevada (1939-2014) appears to be a pen name for Manfred Schmitz, the prolific East German composer of teaching pieces in jazz and popular styles. I am a long-standing admirer of his work and you can find many other pieces by him on this channel, under both names. This is set for ABRSM grade 5 (2021-22). There is a particularly striking pedal effect (audible between 0:46 to 0:56 then immediately repeated and appearing again later in the piece), where you are required to hold the pedal down for several bars to create a 'halo' of sound. Do listen out for it. Apologies for the slightly blurred picture: the lens of the camera was fogged. But somehow that suits the piece!
