cool! I play the cello too... but I dont think I can take leasons anymore cause my cello teacher got elected in our provincial election here in BC (not all over BC he just won where we live).So I think he'll be a tad busy now. but I still play in my fiddle group every friday.

I'd post a clip of me playing piano if I was able to get a decent recording.

I've tried recording and it sounds like a keyboard.

I'm presently learning an Invention by J.S. Bach... his use of contrapuntal compositions makes the piece rather challenging to get a handle of, although it makes for an equally enjoyable performance when played properly. Not that I can even play the whole piece of anything.

My flute teacher has transcribed some of Bach's Inventions for flute, so I've learned a couple. They are so wonderful to play; Bach was a genius composer.

Bach is my favorite composer.

I love Bach's Inventions.

Which ones did you play on flute?

Dr. Watson · Post by **Dr. Watson** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 6:00 pm

Numbers 3, 8, 13, and 14

They sounded very nice as a flute duet.

EDIT: Disregard the Bible reference.

I've just started working on a Beethoven piece... can't recall the name at the moment.

You do realize you can write it as Numbers 3, 8, 13, and 14? Without the Bible reference.

I'd love to hear it.

I've played Numbers 8, 13, and 14 on the piano!

Excuse me, Doc, but wasn't that a trio???? You, me, and sis?

Well, I suppose we did only 2 parts, I played harmony and Watson and sis melody.

We need to practice those again...

Calm yourself, my dear chap. There's no need to be alarmed.

Thank goodness. Because I'd also be interested in hearing it sometime.

I just started taking piano lessons about 2 weeks ago.

Trent DeWhite · Post by **Trent DeWhite** » Sun Jun 05, 2005 2:00 pm

That's awesome, J-man!

What are you presently working on? Pieces? Technique? Theory?

Dr. Watson · Post by **Dr. Watson** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 5:06 pm

OK, the invention will have to wait for another day, but here's something for everyone to listen to in the meantime.

Don Oiche Ud I Mbeithil

No, that's not Elvish, it's Gaelic. The title means "This Night in Bethlehem." It may be seasonally misplaced, but it is a beautiful song notheless. My dad heard it and said it sounded like it came from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.

I learned it from this CD, and love playing it.

Cheerio
