Disklavier

Talking to friends.

Dear Friends,
I have the habit to write letters in the middle of
the night when everything is quiet in the house and
when I do not get disturbed by telephonecalls.
A disadvantage is that I am sometimes too
sleepy. 
In my last latter I wrote that Tjako van Schie
played  and composed his satanic verses
"develishly" well. This has to be of course 
"devilishly" well. And Totentanz translated
from German means Dance of the "dead", and
not Dance of the "death"
In this famous composition of Liszt "death" is
not dancing but dead people are, and that is
even much more horrifying.
By the way you don't need the talent of a Liszt
or a Tjako van Schie to send some music.
I know that most of you are playing disks.  
Ofcourse this is why you bought a "disk"klavier
or a "disk" piano.
But there must also be among you some
guys or gals who are using their own fingers
not only to put disks in a slot but also to
play the keys of your instrument.
Who is as talented as Tjako? Not me and
most probably not you either. But please,
if you play a little bit, be not ashamed of
it. We cannot all be Tjakos. Let us here
something of your own playing, share it with
us. Beethoven's "F\ufffdr Elise" is not too 
difficult to play. And not all of Chopin's
Waltzes are hard. Even Liszt composed
some Consolations for strugglers he
had sorry for. And then there is the
computer that can help you with correc-
ting mistakes. This is why our good 
friend Daniel Klebanov maintains a web
site. Please let us hear something of
your playing. Daniel's website is too
silent. Every piece is welcome.
