Dagdraumur by Eydís Evensen - Day 567 Progress

It has been a while since I posted - I had shoulder surgery in August that had me in a sling for a couple of weeks plus I have been preparing for Trinity Grade 2 practical exam. Today is day 567 of my adult piano journey.

This beautiful piece is by the modern classical composer Eydís Evensen. I believe dagdraumur means daydream in Icelandic.

For a change of tone I rendered this out using Pianoteq 7 (NY Steinway D - Gentle) which makes a break from the Kawai built in samples. For those who don't know, Pianoteq is a virtual piano that works by physically modelling a piano rather than using samples. This is the only thing I have played and recorded with it so far and it gives the Kawai CA 79 a very different feel ... Especially with some of the bigger grands.

Lastly and definitely not least a big thank you to Julia Kourtidis of JKM Tuition (http://www.jkmtuition.com/), my long suffering teacher, for transcribing this for me.
