RE: Oh My Love, piano cover for Hive Open Mic week 99

Hey there @ovey10

The hands just follow what the music wants to say and how the heart dictates. Well, and many years of playing made me have that style. Is it good or not, I dont know. I suppose natural for me, and I am glad you liked it too.

So, what a reception here in this scene, huh, is it always like this among the musical family of Hive Open Mic? Haha, jokes aside, I really appreciate your words and the time you dedicated to listening to my participation and writing this comment of encouragement. Thank you!!

To be frank with you, the last time I saw someone played the piano with such hand movement was last 4years during a Christmas classical music concert, I was opportune to sit close to him(the pianist) with my trumpet.
I noticed alot of stuffs while he was playing, his tune was extremely great and he had this same hand movement too thou it wasn't really obvious like how I watched you play, he played differently at some point actually.
I am not really a pianist, I don't really know if that was a piano skill in approaching some certain genres of music but if it is, then I can say apart from Him (the concert pianist) it's you so far I've witnessed this hand movement on the piano. But if it isn't a skill for the piano then this is a perfect creativity because it gives a directional movement to as how the song was sang, and it looks professional, yeah. Novice pianist could find this a bit challenging specially splitting the chords while approaching different notes harmoniously has you did above playing very gently and calmly..
Once again it's my pleasure listening to you creatively and professionally playing the piano my teacher 🥰💞🥰🎷🎷💜💜🎸🎻🎻🙌🙏

Absolutely makes sense the other pianist had similar hand movements. Not all classical pianists have the same style, we are different but I suppose there are some types of us. I feel this is the way for me. My very very good friend who is a concert pianist has totally different hand movements. And that is a great thing, that we are so different and we can bring our style. And yes, I think it has to do with classical music and all the detailed approach we have to our performances. :))
