Playing piano

[JF]

before playing guitar, I was playing piano. I learned it during 4 years, and then played it in a band, but it was 30 years ago.

when my eldest daughter started to play piano 4 years ago, I came back to the instrument and started to play again, but not really seriously, just improvising and playing songs melodies with basic chords.

this year I proposed her to play a 4 hands piece, and her teacher gave us the "dolly" lullaby by Faur

Woooohoooo -  good for you both! Just goes to prove that if you've got it you never lose it!!

Well done....

Yeah, great stuff!  Not an expert by any means but one piece of playing on the piano I really enjoyed was on the theme to the film Billion Dollar Brain by Richard Rodney Bennett.  The opening titles (by Maurice Binder of 007 fame) are great too:



Sorry, yt preview not working.

thanks for comments, I forgot to mention :
 on "Dolly" I play the "seconda" part while my daughter plays the "prima" part
and the "seconda" is more difficult
