Gran bella raccolta, i brani sono tutti dei capolavori che regalano infinite emozioni. ❤ Mi piacerebbe essere in quel salotto ad assistere al concerto, il pianista mi sembra Schubert... ho ingrandito l' immagine, dagli occhiali parrebbe lui. ❤🎹🌹🎼

*Se disfruta tanto está música Gracias Halidonmusic* 💖

[donatellaallegra]

Fantastico, come sempre fantastico, ma questo si adatta perfettamente al mio presente "momento" di umore 😊❤Sei meraviglioso, grazie mille per aver realizzato video così preziosi, con musica che è veramente un'arte divina, e Beethoven è anche una grande prova che ha ricevuto musica, come ha detto, nonostante il suo handicap, dal Centro del Cosmo, o, se si ama dire il contrario - l'ha ricevuta da Dio e l'ha versata in note. 🎶🎶☀️❤️💖💝

[CatherineSwasey]

I believe in god and his power and glory that this music makes me relaxed and is just amazing and with beautiful pieces
