Today was Francie's piano recital, and she was very relieved to successfully play the songs she has practiced for weeks.
Just pretend that this is not a video clip, but more of a shadowy, artsy audio clip. I tried to get a clear video, but the lighting was low and our camera was not designed for anything except close-up work in a place with lighting as bright as the face of the sun.
Trust me, it really is Francie behind the piano. They'd fire me as a videographer if I didn't work for free.
(Oh, and please ignore the loud scraping of the piano bench in the beginning. Again, I am a videographer out of necessity not aptitude.)
First song: "Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)"
Second song: "Fur Elise," Beethoven
lovely!! I'll have to see if I can find my duet book at home... maybe we can play together sometime for fun
ReplyDeleteShe plays so expressively, and that is a lovely thing to hear in someone so young, and she recovers like a pro. She's a very mature player! And take it from someone who has heard 'Fur Elise' a million and one times, that was a lovely job. She must have a metronome of a mind, because she was solid as a rock on the tempo. Hooray for Francie!
ReplyDeleteWow! She is wonderful! Great job, Francie!
ReplyDeleteMark and I were both impressed! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful...as for the videography, I have a collection that is just like it!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to write another comment that starts with Wow, but...
ReplyDeleteWow! That was beautiful. I am so jealous of her devotion, talent and skill. I can tell she loves playing and put a lot of time into preparing for this recital.
Congratulations, Sally!!
She done good! You have a talented daughter there.
ReplyDeleteI don't care how many times I hear it... Fur Elise is one of my favorites. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for my kids to start playing instruments. At what age did yours start?
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the "Wow!" contingent! :)
ReplyDeleteShe's wonderful. :)
She makes me cry. I hope that if I reach a ripe, old age, my Francie will spare me an hour of beautiful piano music once in a while...I could sit and listen to her all day.
