See if you can find a copy of Honky Tonk Train Blues recorded by
Meade Lux
Lewis in 1937.

Why?, I don't like blues, it makes me sad.

Not all blues are sad! Nobody could describe "Honky Tonk Train Blues" as
sad. Believe me ... it isn't sad!

I thought that you knew something about music!!! I guess that I was wrong.

Bach's Air on the G String is one of my favorite pieces...I don't,however,
have appreciation for it with a boogie baseline beat....It's the same with
others who have tried to improve on what's already perfect....why? Why take
something that's beautiful and turn it into something else? Instead, write
your own rather than changing what someone else has created....BTW, if you
like that piece, you would probably really like barber's Adagio for
Strings,....

I think Bach, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Liszt, Van
Cliburn,
Beethoven, just to name a few, would find this whole thread very
amusing...

Here Katy, just for you!

Not very good, but Bach provided the inspiration for much modern music.

The 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert by Meade Lux Lewis is his best, he was
just warming up in 37. Lewis played a clairnet not the paino btw.

I can get you a Victor 78 recording for 125 USD or you can download it
at a Napster type site.

And your full of **** Donal!

Josef Hofmann was the greatest paino player of all times.

Joe

Kiss UP !

Bach's Air on the G String is one of my favorite pieces...

I had an arrangement of it played at my mother's funeral. Also Samuel
Barber, Rachmaninoff, and Albinoni.

Max

The Albinoni Adagio is also beautiful...

That's a very interesting comment. I wasn't aware that I had put a boogie
beat on the bass. In fact, I've used the metronome to try to make sure that
I play it correctly. I've really worked hard to get the bass correct.


Does it really seem to have a boogie beat the whole way through?



It's the same with

take
something that's beautiful and turn it into something else?

I wasn't trying to improve on it. I really thought that I was playing it
"note for note".

I thought that my demonstration would show that Bach was the father of
modern blues. Bach was one of the first composers to make use of the
"chordal progression" which is the foundation upon which blues, jazz, and
rock is based.


Also, I've recently been learning a Bach piece that seems to be the
inspiration for one of Pink Floyd's songs.


Instead, write
your own rather than changing what someone else has created....

Honestly, I didn't think that I had changed it. I played it to the best of
my ability.


BTW, if you

I do............
