Jazz has always and anyway offered me insights and reflections. Alongside art music, I consider it of great utility also for the classical performer.
I am sharing two videos with you. Peterson with that dense and round sound and incredibly compact chords, and the other side... the great Evans with his melancholic searching...
What great artists..
Truth about the syncopated trend? Jazz was actually invented by Bach... I have always heard everyone reciting this maxim..
How wonderful! I find jazz music fascinating, especially melancholy genres like this one by Evans, which is so close to my character. My only regret is not being able to play it.... a pity.
Bach and jazz? A perfect combination. Look at Jacques Loussier.
Great piece. It's a pity that one senses a bit of a, shall we say... "discrepancy" between the spirit of the Italian concerto and the improvisation on the harmonies... but it is quite normal. After all, it is a pretext to develop a theme...
Thank you very much, I didn't know it.

Don't mention it, it's nice to share with others; this way we enrich each other.

Why do you say you aren't capable?
I would love to so much, but having started playing the piano very late, I have to settle for pieces that are not too demanding and possibly with a score in front of my eyes, and I won't even tell you the effort required before managing to play a piece decently... but in the end, it's okay this way.
Hats off then. For those who start studying late, everything becomes more complicated. However, you have demonstrated great depth of interpretation and precision. Look, aside from my pedantic reflections as an old curmudgeon, No. 20 was truly well-constructed..
Perhaps if you feel a limitation, focus also on technique. Simone and Paolo will surely have advice for you that is suitable for your needs.
I look forward to more pieces.

Those two gave me loads of advice, Nancy also went to great lengths, as did other friends from the forum whom I won't name now.
