This is a piece most of you will be familiar with in some form or other, it's one of only two things I play every time I'm within earshot of a piano. Thought I'd make a demo whilst I was here with the very piano on which it were wrote.
Have a listen, say what you think, any ideas for bits or pieces, how things should be?
There's a new percussion idea I had for the first section but I've largely forgotten it; something involving bass drum and claps. Jeremy and I worked on the end bit, after the collapse, and managed to make it sound like a proper section rather than a transition or a build up to something. To note about that last section is that the piano chords change on the second beat, that beat pause after the collapse is the first beat of the bar, tricky but essential.
Merry Christmas all, and I'm having a look at flights to get the for the 30th, and who knows, maybe even the big NY.
