Many pianists play but you can’t hear the emotion, the emotion you play with sends chills up my back. Beautiful work. bravo bravo

I'm 71 and a music lover since I remember myself. This rare combination of a beautiful piece of music and the way you play it, make me feel whole with all that I have lived till now, and builds my resilience for what lies ahead of me. Thank you so much dear Alexander.

« Passacaglia » is a musical genre practiced during the Baroque period and a dance just like the « Chaconne ». Originally imported by Spanish sailors, it became a dance prized by the nobility in Europe. At this stage of its evolution, it becomes almost indiscernible from the chaconne (nuances that have no place here) because the names seem interchangeable according to the composers. It is then a stylized piece, in three beats, with a slower rhythm, sometimes a little more solemn, and which can reach important proportions. The passacaglia, like the chaconne, is used exceptional in the suite of dances, of which it is almost always the final piece. On a musical level, around 1620, it became a piece with variations on an obstinate bass, a short harmonic pattern, of a few notes, repetitive, with a lively tempo, it is essentially music for keyboard, guitar, and sometimes used for singing. This musical form was equally intended for improvisation, the obstinate bass lending itself particularly well to it. Georg Friedrich Handel took this name and set it to music. Suite No.7 in G minor, HWV 432, in six movements: VI. Passacaille (Passacaglia). Published around 1720. *Lucien*

I've only wished for three things in my life, first to Marry the girl I love, second to play the piano like you just heard and thirdly to paint a recognisable image of anyone or anything. I achieved the first. I suppose I am lucky.

Meravigliosa e divina musica magistralmente eseguita al pianoforte.
Mi sono sentito in paradiso, il battito del cuore mi è rallentato e con gli occhi chiusi ho sentito l'anima venire purificata.
Bellissimo momento di intimità con se stessi tra il cuore e la mente.
Grazie per la tua opera. ❤

Wonderful and divine music masterfully performed on the piano. I felt like I was in heaven, my heartbeat slowed down and with my eyes closed I felt my soul being purified. Beautiful moment of intimacy with oneself between the heart and the mind. Thanks for your work. ❤
