Hi Diane, i can think now after your suggestion of these fingerings, bar no 6 from the octave in L.H we delete the lower A
mr-sMemberi have an old cassette of Richard Clayderman,was in the 90s a well known light music pianist, and he played a music called (A white shade of pale) i like it so much, but i think no way to get the score,and in the cassette not written the name of the composer,i think this music sounds beautiful on harp, what about Monney Money song by ABBA group? do you play it on harp?
mr-sMemberHi Christian i play 6 days and one day off, i am not starter,you know i find diffeculties in easy piano arrangment than in complicated one, and i dont think that easy piano scores are better than harp arrangements,why? you think like that, if the editor was a harpist and gave the music a harpestic soul and character why not, i think will be better than piano……………now i am practicing a music for piano from tv movie (the thorn birds) theme Meggies, i find a lot of diffeculties by playing it on harp than on piano,but if there is a good arranger harpist think how it will be more comfortable on the harp i prefer the harp arrangement then……….
mr-sMemberChristian , you play the Phantom of the opera,its a harp arrangement or for piano?
mr-sMemberChristian do you agree with me that we need to keep our selves as a players interested too? can you and every body tell me if you play for a one year continously in a hotel or restaurant how many times you take a break after a one year of working? and how often do you renew your repertoire?
mr-sMemberi will be glad to hear also the experiences of the harpists who have also second harp to practice, how they can keep them interested if they play for a long time in one place and they can by the result to keep their listeners interested too. and how often do you add a new music to your daily repertiore……….??
mr-sMemberthank you christian,you know i want to keep the first sight of the hotel visitors when first listened to me, as i said many faces repeated every day,i want to keep my self fresh in their eyes.
mr-sMemberHi the Aria is written by Grandjany for the Harp and Organ, but i used to hear it accompanied by piano not organ, is there another reduction for harp and piano, or the piano play the same score of the organ????
mr-sMemberHi Mel, i am playing the russian way and following the russian method, let me tell you that in russia and so i , practice 10 times Forte, then when play in public we do the real forte, but if you practice mf or P so you cant make the F in public so let the student

November 9, 2008 at 1:10 am in reply to: Writing notes where they’re played, or where they sound??????? #86371mr-sMemberCarl i am astonished like you about a clever composers especially when they are harpists too and they do mistakes, and also som reductor you know Morceau de concert by saint sans,some time you face non logical writings no enough fingers for playing it all or a very wide chords that hands cant catch it, well saint sans is not a harpist, but what about Zabel? i asked week ago about his piece La Source, some one answered me and said its a hand breaker whyyy? Zabel is a great harp player and teacher why he did it like that without thinking of other harpists with a middle or small hand’s size??????? and the same as you reffered about some double bb or double ##
mr-sMemberno Carl i think i am going to do it in english. and maybe some of it in Arabic of course from right to left,but dont know wich harp logo or picture will use???
mr-sMemberDear Carl,sorry in my country people care about your degree,they say oh we invited a doctor of music harpist,we paid him this price etc……………………. that’s all of course beside of the beutiful music,i know what they think ,maybe in europe or Usa dont care about that.
