🎵 Notes from the February 19, 2022 meetup—IRL!

We had an opportunity for an in-real-life (IRL) and masked 😷 meeting today at the Ottawa Pianos store. Pianists enjoyed a mix of music from Bach to the contemporary era, including a composer apparently not played before at any session in our group's history: Philip Glass.

Here's what was played: 

  • Gregory: Introduction and Fugato, by Cuthbert Harris
  • Hedda: Misty, by Erroll Garner
  • Jeff: Prelude Op. 7 #3 and Op. 11 #10, by A. Scriabin
  • Erin: Sinfonia #2, by J. S. Bach
  • David: Milonga Del Angel, by Astor Piazzolla; here is a video of David playing this piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPAXKHACJHw
  • Allona: Adieu to the Piano, attr. to L. V. Beethoven
  • J.P: Bunte Blätter #1, by R. Schumann
  • Gregory: Op. 53 #3, by F. Mendelssohn
  • Hedda: Georgia on my mind, by Hoagy Carmichael
  • Jeff: Etude tableau Op. 33 #5, by S. Rachmaninoff
  • Erin: Invention #4, by J. S. Bach
  • David: Oblivion, by Astor Piazzolla; here is a video of David playing this piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMxALM0NnSQ
