I deleted my previous text because I did a second take of the tune.

It's recorded better!

So who wants to play a duet with me?

Here's a short clip of me playing the 13th etude for pedaling from David Friedman's method book. Feedback welcome.

Some notes about the notes: At the very beginning, the piece starts with b9 interval played in the right hand and improvised stuff in the left. This to me creates a cold, alone, metalac feeling of depth under water. At 0:43 I rub and randomly "twinkle" the upper register with the top mallet. This is white water sound that was inspired by a young student who did that when he was just messing around on the instrument.

Friedman etude no.7

"Crystal Silence" composed by Chick Corea. A classic from Chick and Gary Burton from their great ECM album recorded in 1972. The recording has stood the test of time and still sounds fresh today. I hadn't played this in quite awhile. It was one of the first songs that I learned in lessons with Gary starting in '73.
