Hiya Natalie! Its jaime's mate here!

Anyway I was told by my piano teacher that 'Le Onde' was about grade 5 standard

Hope that helps!!!

Charl

Natalie

They are playing an Einaudi piece on Classic FM tonight at 7:08 pm ! It's called "The Earth"

And they are playing Questa Notte at 2:30 PM today but maybe the time you read this it will too late!

I hate the way they sensor the most innocent (well sort of!) of things!
I love Einaudi too!!! especially Le Onde and Nefeli

Hi Natalie

Sorry you missed them.

Try tomorrow (Sat)

They are playing LE ONDE on Classic FM at 1:41 PM

and La Linea Scura at 10:22 AM and Passagio at 11:10 AM

heeheehee hahahaha!!! i missed it again!!!

anyway it doesnt matter coz ive got the sheet music and a cd with it on so i can listen to it anytime!!lol

second thoughts try warning me a week in advance!!lol

then maybe i might remember!!

Oh fine

I did not realise you had the CD but I should have guessed you would!!

Personally I think Einaudi is overrated. Although not quite as depressingly monotonous as Nyman, his music all blends into one after just about 20 minutes of listening.

bought the Eden Roc book yesterday with Nefeli in it-im in love with that too!!

oooh- eden roc! that's the book I have! i love it so much!

ah good!! im not the only one!

does anyone know the grade level for Nefeli?

I don't know the grade for Nefeli but for all Einaudi fans his website is: http://www.ludovicoeinaudi.com/ but i guess most of you knew that anyway.

Been to one of his concerts and he was fantastic!
I think I Giorni is his best CD.

ping-lee

Nefeli is probably grade 5ish, not sure though! it's quite easy but it sounds so pretty!

yes i knew his website!lol

yes Nefeli is easy but oooh i just looove it!! its competing strongly with Le Onde for my number 1 spot!!!

Just bought a book to see what I've been missinmg out on.
Some interesting sounds there
Trouble is I think I now need an Italian dictionary to understand all the directions
And anybody know what 1 C. 3 C. etc means?
Don't think I've ever seen that before.,.....

What a dummy!!!!
Don't worry, I just got it

Una Corda, Dua Corda.

(Left pedal instructions)

I think.

ooh what book did you get!?!!?!?!

I got 'The best of'.
Seemed best value for money as it is expensive.

yes it is quite expensive. what are your favourite pieces?!

I only got it yesteday but Have had a play with Limbo, Questa Notte is nice, Nefeli and Fuori dal mondo is interesting too.

My lesson was this morning so I couldn't take too much time out for extra stuff

well im only really playing Le Onde and Nefeli loads coz im in looove with them!! but ive tried quite a few others. i also like Ombre and Password

eh, password? i don't know whether there's a tune called password. maybe you mean passagio. that's the one i like!

there is def a tune called Password, its in my Eden Roc book!

There is a password! i love it!

sorry!

I am soooooo pleased to learn that someone other that me thinks Einaudi is overrated. I just switch off when I hear his music. I have really tried to like and understand it ........ but I can't find anything in it to understand! OK, so occassionally the timing is interesting - but then what? What baffles me is why Classic FM built him up when there are so many classical pianists who are more deserving (in my opinion).

As for Nyman - 'nuf said I watched the DVD of The Piano last night and really I ended up thinking the whole production team as well as the musical director was barking!!!!!!!!!!! What a yawn!!! The cast certainly deserved their Oscars for staying with the film. In my opinion of course.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Nat - don't cry. I'm sorry if I offended you. But................if I mentioned some of the pianists I "lurve" and would travel to the end of the earth to listen to - you'd probably say YUK

i was only joking!!lol

Please do name them Gemini

YAY!!! another fan!! we should start our own little fan club!!

yessss! there must be a ludovico einaudi fan club!
does anyone else want to join!

hgirl and Naomi will im sure!!

Maggie-please tell me you have played Le Onde?!!

Yeah yeah I have played it !! - it's very relaxing!

I can really see why you like him so much. I think I liked Le Onde and Passagio best - but that could change, as I've not done much more than sight-read through as yet. I wonder if I should have got "the Best of ..."
as Le Onde doesn't include Nefelia ..... I guess if I get really hooked I'll get that as well lol !

As it was I spent nearly £70 in the music shop .... eeeek

Maggie

well done Maggie!lol

its great isnt it!!Nefeli is in the Eden Roc book so ull have to buy it!!

Nat


ps- £70 is quite normal for me to spend!!lol
