Dusting off the Cobwebs.......

Wow! It's been a long time since I looked around in here.....we need a serious facelift for the new piano year, don't we?

Just for fun, I went looking for some more Modest Mussorgsky music on YouTube.....since Halloween is this Friday, you might enjoy listening to A Night on Bald Mountain. This is in the original Fantasia, and it was very spooky to me as a kid, so some of you may prefer to NOT watch the Disney version below, and just listen to the music.

Other spooky classical music to listen to:
Toccata and Fugue in Dm by J.S. Bach
In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg
Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Johannes Brahms

On the opposite spectrum of music moods, I also posted Mussorgsky's Ballet of the Chickens in their Shells. A nice performance by the Bekova sisters. Enjoyable!

So I'll be updating this with our new teams of Kabalevsky and Dvorak, as well as whatever occurs to me to make this more user friendly.

Be sure to leave a comment in the comments section if you watch one or more of the videos, so I can give credit to your team.
