Chopin, coming from the past
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=mipiano/gsfwsfqv
People are constantly coming and walking away from the courtyard of this sealed face,
full of eyes bathed in rain,
and sun.
Do you know where we are?
Just a few steps further, the domes challenge me!
Can you too keep your crosses straight to the sky like us?
A conversation frozen in time that has never happened beyond that bench,
maybe neither there...
...yet, in Krak贸w, where the weather plays its tricks and heavy sculptures rest on benches,
there was a performance of a piece of music played in The Kingdom
that has never been heard beyond that room...
I have started this post with some photos taken in the city of Krak贸w in 2023. Indeed, the little concert I played in the Kingdom has never been shared with anyone (at least not by me), just that photo of me playing the piano appeared here. I thought it was not good enough, like not perfect; but what silly thoughts are those!?! Why would we expect ourselves to perform perfectly when it comes to live performances? Our whole life is not perfect. And things that happened in the past are how they are. We have to let things off, perfect or imperfect ones.
This video? Belongs in the latter group. The reason why I didn't publish it at first was that my playing had some mistakes or missed notes; I was ashamed of them. Later, when I listened to it again, I thought it was not that bad (like I could survive if others heard it 馃槅) and that maybe I would publish it one day, even though it is just one piece and not whole, the beginning of it is missing. And then - I forgot about it, until now when I found it.
I remember asking @hallmann whether there were chairs without arms (as I saw some photos with an armchair in front of the piano). I felt sorry that I wrote him the message late in the evening, but it was not a problem, as he was awake until 5 a.m., which is when he responded that there were other chairs I could use for playing the piano. I needed some additional cushions, though. 馃槅
The only thing that was perfect in this recording... was the audience. 馃槆 Hivers at HiveBeeCon!
I am grateful to all those who were there listening to this Waltz in E minor by Chopin, among other pieces. And I am also grateful in advance to those who will maybe happen to listen to this video. 馃幎
