La Campanella - 6 hands fighting on the piano!!

in Q Inspired-by-Music3 years ago (edited)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


What happens when six hands join forces to play the same piano? That is, thirty fingers, and only three heads? Well, sometimes it's a quarrel, sometimes a battle, an intertwining of hands and most often laughter to tears. Over several days. Then those hands learn to coordinate, to be together in rhythm, the heads learn to listen and sometimes even concentrate and keep quiet while playing. That's what happened here, in this video that you will see. Finally, the three of us (the girls from here and here ) decided to record a composition we had been rehearsing lately, together. I think my nieces will remember this summer as that summer when our aunt bothered us to play the piano all the time. But what should I do, when I like playing the piano with them.

So there is this famous composition that has already been mentioned several times here on the blockchain and that was eagerly awaited by one person. Admittedly, that person expected me to learn to play it myself, in the original version, written by Franz Liszt. It is a transcendental study, which only he- Liszt could have written so ingeniously, following the example of his friend, the violinist Niccolo Paganini.

A composition called, La Campanella. That is , a small bell. Oh, such a confusing name, imagine, to call such an innocent name a composition that is extremely difficult in technical terms to play. I admit, I don’t think I’ll ever dare to practice it, because I know I can’t reach that level of precision and speed needed to perform the same. Most pianists can't play it. Those who play it may be aliens or geniuses, or they may have spent a lot of time (years) practising it. Fortunately, there is one version, much simpler, for three people. Six hands. For now, this is the only version that will come out to be published by me with the performance of this composition.

I have long had a desire to play this version, more precisely since the same person already mentioned above suggested that I learn to play La Campanella. I suggested to her, that we could play it together, she - @ewkaw and the third person who was in the same story is @amico. Then the division of sections began, who will play which part, and both of them just wanted to press the pedal. :)))

All this plan was recorded forever here on Hive, but we never realized that joint plan. Although I had the opportunity to meet Amico twice in real life, in the last two months, we didn't even start practicing this composition. We didn't even remember to do that, and we would still miss the third person, Ewkaw. Fate wanted me to see these scores on the piano from my younger niece, and as there are two of them, they also needed one person to perform this composition. Of course, we immediately started practicing, and we really enjoyed in the process of learning it. That small bell composition.

So guys, Ewkaw and Amico, now you can see the parts of the composition. You can choose, and let me know which part you would like to learn to play? :D

Hey, @mipiano: what to say about this talented Piano 🎹 student, I discovered two videos ago?

🙄 Is it dangerous the kind of challenge she proposed? 😳😂

P.S. where's Bella? :)

How's the life with you guys? Back to the routine? Or still vacation mode?

Bella (when not sleeping, eating, barking or licking someone) continues to be lined up one step behind my left, of course! 😂

We are (almost) back to routine, as our daughter will only start school next Monday and is now on a mini holiday with friends.

But the van is always ready to go, to discover beauties in our neighbourhood...

And you? What are you doing? Do you have any news?

lined up one step behind my left, of course! 😂

Dear Bella 😇 such a lovely soul !!!

I started with the lessons last Monday, and R. started with school on Wednesday.

But the van is always ready to go, to discover beauties in our neighbourhood...

Spain is just around the corner 😉

Next long trip could be Portugal: Your home is pretty on the road: stay tuned! 😄

Owwww, will the third super cool mini hive meetup happen soon?. Ok, we are tuned 👏👏 😅

Hahahah, it's is way too dangerous 😁
this challenge is not for us @amico 🤣🤣

This was simply amazing! What, there was one person awaiting it eagerly? Must have been me! The only thing I can't figure out, is how you knew it, since I only read your last post, but haven't replied to it. 😜

Jokes aside, the three of you sound fantastic on the piano! And your nieces sound like they haven't just started playing either. They must be inspired by their amazing aunt, who apparently is not just a talented pianist, but also a great teacher.

The only thing I can't figure out, is how you knew it, since I only read your last post, but haven't replied to it. 😜

Hahaha, must be that I felt that more people are waiting for this piece :D
The girls are great and hardworking indeed, they would anyway do well, with or without me. I just gave them maybe the first push when they were small, the first taste how it is to love to play the piano... they did it well to continue with music :)

Have they already created an HIVE blog?
If not, why?

No, they haven't and I think they will not in near future. Actually I explained them a little bit around the platform, but they were not so interested at the moment. It is not convenient to push something if they don't feel that need. But for sure, they would have nice content :)

Percepisco chiaramente la vostra gioia e sono felice con voi per le vostre risate a crepapelle... Complimenti per la meravigliosa performance!

!PIZZA 🍕 !BEER 🍻
and a huge hug! 🤗

Grazie, è stata davvero una gioia, abbiamo riso tanto. Grazie per avermi ascoltato, spero che tu abbia il coraggio di suonare il piano in questi giorni lol. Un abbraccio!
p.s. I hope it sounds ok in Italian, hahaha 🤣😜

Più che il coraggio, mi dà proprio gioia suonare il piano: ne approfitto, fintanto che non sono in giro con la casa mobile... 😜

Buon proseguimento a te e ai tuoi cari!

!PIZZA 🍕 !BEER 🍻
e un caro abbraccio! 🤗

Yeah, now with the camper the world is waiting for you ;)))) you need a mobile piano too ;P Just kidding, enjoy your travels 😇

I just purchased this keyboard: who knows, maybe it works! 😜

Hey @mipiano, here is a little bit of BEER from @amico for you. Enjoy it!

WEEHOO! This is an absolute creative piece of performance! LOVE IT! hahahahahaha your family must LOVE you instead of hate you. This is truly fun! And I can imagine, it was even (much) more fun for you girls in practice rounds than it was for me (us) to enjoy the outcome.

ps This time it wasn't me! ;)

I hope so, that they have that feeling towards me, though not very sure 🤣

I am glad you liked it and found a dose of fun 😇

ps Good :)

absolutely a lot of fun.... sometimes the hands got so close in the middle of the piano keyboard, that it was a little bit of a 'fight' for your middle niece to play hahahaha

Oh, it was a bit of fight indeed when we practiced. You know, she (the middle in this video) is perfect in her "killing look" when there is something that she doesn't like or something is said that bothers her. No joke with that 🤣
The hands had to learn move fast and leave space for the other pair of hands.

It's different than playing alone. So much fun, for sure! 🙂

p.s. edited because of a typo.

💃🎶🕺

OMG you did it!! :D :D So cool!
And of course you are missing the pedal girl ;)

I still cant believe how one person can play this thing.

@tipu curate 3

Surprise :)) Yes, we did it! And it was cool indeed the process of preparation itself. When we recorded it, we were : And that was it? We are not going to repeat it, it is done? Hahaha. Practicing this small bell became our daily need.

Yes, we miss the pedal girl, so it would be 6 hands one foot version :D

I still cant believe how one person can play this thing.

Almost me neither, but the legend says, there are some of those, small percentage though, who can. Me not in that group.

Thank you so much for the support, now I don't have other option but to officially say:

#PedalPartReserved for you ;)

woooow this is so fun! Me ecantó @mipiano. Qué divertido es compartir la música, y más siedo con tus seres queridos. Bueno, en esta ocasión comparten hasta el mismo piano, la misma pieza, el mismo espacio 😂 y una excelente coordinación entre las tres cabezas y los 30 dedos jaja 👏

Pues, sí, era divertido y nos ha traído momentos muy buenos y con mucha risa (bueno , a veces era: quita tu mano; ponte más para allá; no, ponte tú; aquí no vas bien; quién no va bien? jajajaja 😅

El piano es uno de mis pianos viejos que tenía mientras estudiaba, la deje a esta sobrina mayor. A la otra sobrina, la deje el otro que tenía siendo yo niña. :)
