I've recently discovered Einaudi, and rather enjoy listening to his music, however I'd now quite like to learn some.
Can anyone direct me to any pieces around the grade 4 mark?
And also, what grade would you say 'Le Onde' falls around?

Thanks,
HC

I don't know about Le Onde, but you ought to be able to manage most of the stuff in the I Giorni book without too much trouble, I'd have thought. If Le Onde is anything like the rest of it, it will be somewhere around grade 4/5.

Lieben sie einaudi oder einvolkswagen?

Dass ist schrecklich!

Es ist sicherlich, aber die Autos sind OK

JA
(sorry, can't manage any more German than that this early in the morning! though I have eine Deutschstunde (there!) today at school )

I have an Einaudi book - can't remember the name, but it's the one with the glossy black cover! I thought that Passagio was one of the easier pieces - I found Le Onde harder (needless to say I gave up and just listened to it played properly on the CD!) I love his music though

Oh dear, I read that 3 days ago, but it's taken me till now to work it out.

Can we have a translation please??!!

Do you like/love an audi or a volkswagen?

That certainly wouldn't work in Germany - we have a slight accusative-problem here

Ich möchte ein Trabant.

das Auto, but der Trabant, Audi, Volkswagen - sorry guys

Danke. Warum ist die deutsche Sprache so schwierig?

I don't know how easy it is for you to get up to London, hc, but he's appearing at the Barbican on 24 October if you're able to get there

don't know, i think we just like to do things the complicated way don't despair, i can't keep my english sentences straightfoward and short, that always gives it away. there's hope however: i've recently been taught by an australian (who didn't know where i was from) that i have the "thickest scottish accent he's ever heard". i'm still not sure though if that should make me laugh or cry ...

i like einaudi, very relaxing, helps me to fall asleep - and i am, for once, not being ironic here ...

Same here... and even worse, I'm supposed to be a car expert

Car Expert

I feel as if I'm missing something... why is OK for some people to trash a serious thread like this one and yet when Voltron does nothing more than express his own personality or brand of humour in the cafe, he's pounced upon I'm not getting at anyone about going off-topic (obviously I do it myself, although I try not to actually trash a thread), but it just seems like double standards, particularly when some of the people posting trash in this thread have been amongst the most vociferous about Voltron. Sorry guys

Einaudi must be very, very popular...the gig is a sellout, all the tickets have gone...

Resurrected this thread to tell you all that last night, missypiano, DaisyChain and I listened to the live recording of Friday Night is Music Night : special guest Ludovico Einaudi. And I thought he did a pretty decent job of the three pieces he played. It's on listen again on the Radio 2 website.

listening to Einaudi play his own music while being only a few feets away from him was pretty amazing!

All the performers were excellent. What you don't get on the radio recording is the fact that the two xylophone players on 'The Two Imps' dressed up as imps for the occasion...

and seeing some of the musicians dancing while playing!!!! Brilliant!!!

Yes

It'll be a long, long time before I attempt to dance with a 'cello...
