Hive Open Mic, Week 49: Let's play piano for a change | Stephen Heller, Étude op 47 nr 5
Even though I think of myself as an organist and not as a pianist, as a youngster I started with 6 years of piano lessons. And all the exercises and scales I played then layed the foundation of my technique in playing the organ. And though I have played a lot on the piano, the last several years my poor piano did not get a lot of attention.
Listening to @mipaino's entry for the Open Mic of this week (see here), a firmly classical sonata, I thought it would be nice to try and record some classical piano playing myself for Hive's Open Mic.
So, here's the result. Obviously, I'm quite rusty in piano playing, and the piano itself is no great shape either. Nevertheless, I enjoyed playing a little something on the piano again.
And my entry is only loosely tied to this week's theme. As @mipiano encouraged me to try the piano again, I dedicate this performance, in friendship, to her.
Oh my , Heller study!! You are not going to believe, it is just impossible. I recorded today a Heller study and wanted to publish but was hesitating. It is a sign, I am going to publish it and definitely mention this coincidence!!!
So good to see you with the piano. I am used to hear the organ sound when you play, so it is a fresh sound. You are managing very well the experession phrasing of the chords and there is a nice structural coherence between the right hand and left hand.
👏👏 Well done @partitura and thank you for dedicating this entry to our hive friendship !!!! 🙏🎶🙌
That's a nice coincidence. I guess it's one of the more ambitious ones and not another one from op. 47?
I have another collection studies from Heller, those are a bit more difficult. Well, perhaps a nice challenge to take on one of them. O boy, hoe am I going to find time to play piano ánd organ? 🥴

Just published the Heller Study post :)) It is op 45, G Minor.
While you can play just with your hands (because of the knee) it is the perfect time for piano playing :)
You are always with music. Good skill the appreciated.
Thanks, was to play piano again (in god knows how many years
Excelente ejecución del piano amigo. Bendiciones!!
Gracias!
Hi @partitura
Interesting sound,I really like the ending,I perceive a touch of mystery,those pauses before concluding the music give that feeling that something else is coming. Thanks for sharing your art.
Heller wrote very nice exercises, technically demanding ánd musically challenging. I like his music a lot.
Your piano sounds resonant to me, and I think your playing is brilliant.
It's an old piano, over a 100 years old. Wood that old, gets a reverberant, singing quality. You're quite perceptive to hear that!
