    First time I've listened to this song while I was flying to Africa. That trip has changed my life forever.

      Also a good grasp on dynamics! I would love to hear/watch him take a shot at Maki Namekawa's interpretation of "The Poet Acts" also from Phillip Glass.

    I loved your interpretation... playing the song sounding like an echo, like you're dancing inside a pot made of glass, or house made of glass, or a world made of glass... You got the idea of the song in a parcitularly beautiful expression. My sincere congratulations.

      @@AJ-ep9is You can alter the dynamics of each hand. For example: play crescendos and decrescendos with the LH to bring out its rhythm and so add interest.

      @CookieMonsterVids12 Před 6 lety +5

      It's a difficult piece to grade - technically (note wise), it's easy - grade 2-3 ABRSM. However, playing that 3:2 polyrhythm consistently for the whole 6 minute piece is harder than it looks for sure, and especially taxing on the hands!
