Getting back to my roots
The clarinet was my instrument of choice as a kid. As an adult? I lost the music somewhere along the way.
I’ve been on a classical music kick of late. The little kid in me wanting to get back in touch with my roots. I managed to reconnect with some of the “oldies but goodies” like Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, and in the process came across a melody that I had not heard before. A melody that sincerely moved me as the artist’s love of the piano and the composer’s work can be felt within every note.
The gift of something special
Jeremiah Jones, technologist by trade but classical pianist at heart, created a rendition of Robert Schumann’s Child Falling Asleep that brought me to tears.
With his innovative take on this sweet (and at times melancholy) melody, his rich crescendos/decrescendos executed at the perfect moment . . . Jones’ style is a graceful celebration of the transient struggles experienced by a child falling asleep.
Sharing the love with the masses
” . . . I have a strong passion for classical piano music and founded the Lisztonian website with the goal of sharing that passion with the public.”
As means of sharing his love of and skill with classical piano pieces, Jones also posts free mp3s on his web site lisztonian.com, and releases podcasts via iTunes. If I were you, I’d download a favorite mp3 or subscribe to his podcasts as soon as possible!
Thank you, Mr. Jones. Your gift is greatly valued.
