If you haven’t subscribed to the SLK Music YouTube channel just yet, now’s a good time because I’m hard at work recording and uploading more, longer, and landscape-oriented (ha!) videos. Today’s upload is of Johannes Brahms’ Intermezzo in A, Op. 118 No. 2 - a favorite among pianists and classical music lovers alike. Full of feeling and with a distinctive melody that transforms throughout the piece, this is good one to close the week with:
Written by Florence Price, a groundbreaking and prolific composer who would become the first African American woman whose symphonic compositions were performed by a major orchestra, Adoration is a profoundly calming piece with a songlike quality to it. This recording is of an arrangement for solo piano from a living room practice session.
As a place to store, share, and compile my living room recordings of beloved pieces, I have launched a YouTube channel titled SLK Music! Please like, subscribe, provide feedback and requests. I look forward to sharing my music from the home and beyond!
