  • This is a nice little piece written in the style of Impressionism by William Gillock entitled Fountain in the Rain.
    This was done with my new recording setup, using a Zoom H2 microphone over my piano instead of the microphone that's built into my camera. It took me about a million takes to get a decent recording, so here it is! It's not perfect, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

    I played this as a child and have not heard it in over 50 years. Thank you so much for taking me back.

    I played this at one of my last piano recitals as a teenager and still have the sheet music of it. I can't believe I actually found a recording of it! Thanks so much for this.

    I think this is exactly how Gillock meant for this piece to be played! Beautiful!

    Wonderful! Love it. So much nicer than many who play it too fast.

      Faster is sometimes better, sometimes worse… but almost always overrated.
      This performance was very beautiful at this tempo!

    Bravo Sir,
    A great performance of one of my favorite pieces to play. Excellent light touch and a lovely interpretation. I take dramatic pauses much like you did, feels right

      Thank you! Yeah, I feel this piece needs some good rubato and things to keep the feeling right. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

  • @theultimatearizona
    @theultimatearizona Před rokem +1

    I’m learning this song right now and it’s really fun but pretty hard and new to me since it really jumps around the keyboard a lot! This is a really fun piece though and I hope that I’ll be able to at least play it with confidence, even if it’s not as good as how this guy played it! Also really good job to whoever played it, the speed was just right and the way he played it really made the song come to life!

    That is really, really beautiful -- partly thanks to the nice trebly piano, which may be from its age.

    @maaanny16 Před 11 lety +1

    Very very nice! You played with great feeling too. I only played one piece from this guy, the Moonlight Mood one and I think it's from the same collection that you're playing. I should run to the music store and buy the whole set. There's neat pieces in there like this one.

  • @Payto1x
    @Payto1x Před 5 lety +1

    The inspiration of impressionism, as you mentioned, but especially that of Ravel's Jeux D'eau, is very obvious.

  • @mattovarius
    @mattovarius  Před 11 lety +5

    Thank you very much! I would love to make a tutorial. Is there anything specific you'd like me to cover in it? It may take me a bit as sometimes it's difficult for me to find time to record, but I'll get started on it.

    • @mattovarius
      @mattovarius  Před 10 lety +2

      Thank you! I have actually thought of doing a tutorial for this piece as well, as someone requested it. I just haven't gotten around to it as I've been so busy, but maybe in the future!

    Tak podle čeho se mám řídit , když originál byl vydaný za života skladatele...
    Ten píše přece poznámky úplně přesně.
