Do you enjoy listening to piano music?

kokonut · 05-01-2010, 11:24 AM

Some enjoy listening to the orchestra while others it may be rock and roll music, opera, the drums, or whatever. But how many actually enjoy listening to piano music?

rockin'robin · 05-01-2010, 01:03 PM

Before becoming profound dead....I remmy listening to Liberance....thought he was awesome!...There was another piano player, I believe he was from Russia, (his name escapes me), that was very talented also....so yes, I enjoyed piano music. I enjoyed organ music also.

**sallylou** · 05-01-2010, 01:09 PM

I prefer classic rock cranked up really loud. lol

**Bottesini** · 05-01-2010, 01:16 PM

I really like the sound of bass and tympani. I only have a laptop, which means not good speakers, but I have enjoyed watching you play ragtime.

Maybe someday I will get a chance to see you do it live..

Profound dead???!

Just kidding. I know what you meant. It was Liberace, yes. He was a great pianist, very flamboyant, and a showman.

Russia? Hmm...all I can think of is Vladimir Horowitz. Horowitz but he died in 1989. Is this the guy?

How about Billy Joel's "Piano Man"..?

dogmom · 05-01-2010, 03:46 PM

sally, I may be with you <like some very late 70's, and much 80's classic rock - Whitesnake, Dio, Rush, Bon Jovi>

also like some metal, some contemporary rock, some folk and indie

but my hubby does enjoy some formal classical music and piano/keyboard, as well as same rock as I mentioned

**sallylou** · 05-01-2010, 04:09 PM

dogmom, we need to have a party! lol

truth be told i enjoy Frederick Choplin's or the quirky piano melodys done by Art Tatum which is a kind of some vintage jazz, jazz or what they call it before the 'standerdised' jazz', Swing' its great.
I also like Dinu Lipatti's keyboard skills playing Choplin's music, or Wilhelm Backhaus's performance of Choplin. As you would see, I'm a fan of Choplin, complex and that difficult-to-play structure of the music is just incredible when played by these Piano masters. The mind get relaxed into the dreamy state yet it really helps my brain to function so well to recall...
Other piano performers I like too is, Diana Krall, from Canada, a self-styled jazz pianist who sings interesting, sometimes strangely poetic songs, there has been a few of spin off of such female performers breaking in the male dominated Jazz world.

Sometimes, I'd have Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's classical music also floods out for the sunday afternoon in the sun with warm breeze whisking gently through my opened ranchslider (yes i dont have french door - not the fashionable or wealthy) and the music i get in my home is LIFELIKE because its a home made audiophile grade valves set up with something like $5,000 worth of cables alone....that should be enough of a hint..

but i luvvvvv (on a good day when tinnitus is low) Choplin played by Arturo Benedetti Micheangeli, its begulling good, sometimes even Miles Davis, or Duke Ellington.. all this is on CDs -proper Redbook , not digitally re-mastered rubbish, all genuine my stereo demands it, its not a forgiving unit but hell, the music, the music absorbs you right into its magic...

Grummer · 05-02-2010, 04:21 AM

I usually like music to be accompanied with some of the very best Sauvignon blanc wine made in New Zealand, with the that incredible focused structure and crispness like Saint Clair or that weird, confused but fruity bottles by Fiasco...

hohDougRN · 05-02-2010, 07:17 AM

Whats a piano?

Who is Mozart?

Tousi · 05-02-2010, 10:16 AM

There was a time when I listened to George Winston all the time for it's soothiness, non-lyrical work.

deathstalker · 05-05-2010, 11:27 PM

I prefer instrumental, because as I'm HoH, I can't understand the words, so instrumental is just a music played by instruments

Grummer · 05-07-2010, 06:39 AM

i know, so was i LOL, hence the let-me-google-that-for-you suggestion lmao
anyways Cheers

yah i do like those great piano masters especially on these stereos, its So life-like, for about 6 months when I first moved to my house, I played choplin or various performers, for six month i havent met my nieghbours properly and one said he thought i had a piano!!, no kidding! its a valve stereo with a step attentutors (volume control, the range from quiet to LOUD is quite narrow...) so indeed he was compelled to think it was a real piano, not only this the valves were designed in 1931, 1956, 1958, 1962, 1952....so its not hard to guess...
oh btw, its not rough either just so smooth like a grand piano, and the vocals (male or female) is just there like a holagrams infused with spirits from the inbetween worlds... unreal !!
if you ever in NZ, id be happy let you hear it..

bella8x · 05-07-2010, 07:11 AM

ya, i like listening piano music especially when i feel tired. its melody is so gently.

Babyblue · 05-07-2010, 07:19 AM

Listen to it daily. Especially at work during the children nap time. Mostly Beethoven or Mozart. I find it soothing.

**Rio** · 05-07-2010, 10:58 AM

I am a sucker for classical music, my favorite is Mozart.

Grummer · 05-07-2010, 03:33 PM

mozart and beethoven is all very well, i suspected it was made more famous through Charlie Brown comic strips. Why don't you give Choplin a try its very complext but ironically its very relaxing...

brubeckbach · 09-09-2010, 01:23 PM

I listen to ANY type of piano music! If it's a piano I'm there listening. I'm a classical pianist so naturally I prefer classical! I also really like piano concertos! I also have a passion for Dave Brubeck... he's my hero! No better jazz pianist!

**KristinaB** · 09-09-2010, 06:45 PM

I like to play Beethoven's music on the piano, but really liked listening to Chopin and Mozart as well as Beethoven. I also liked listening to Christian Praise & Worship songs. Since I can't hear now, I go for memories of music. Don't know any of the new stuff since 2000. Most of my memories are from 70's-90's classical, pop and soft rock.
