I really appreciate this sharing of years of experience and that it lays out the reality that practice - effective practice - over a long period of time is the key. No shirt cuts, but a reasonable path to success.
The challenge of this delightful piece is to keep a steady tempo throughout. Like Bach’s music, it looks deceptively easy but to keep the tempo steady, the notes clean, and still have good musicality requires real skill. I’m determined to learn it!!
I was surprised to see, how easy , your website is, for people (ilke me), with little experience about buying online .
Navigated and found the music sheet easily and the purchase completed smoothly in a few steps
As for the music piece, seems so easy when played by David but it is too hard for me. Of course I knew that before buying it, but i decided to do so, because i like the way, David plays the piano, and wanted to support him
I love the way this is written I am able to work on playing it
Love it!!
100 pages giving very valuable advice how to proceed in sightreading.
This instruction book is extremely helpful for all ambitious pianists who would like to improve their skills and work through new pieces faster.
This offers musicians a book that helps improve their playing techniques. The theory is excellent and has already provided me with new ways to improve my technique.
Sight reading is a real challenge for me as a beginner at piano, particularly with regard to reading ahead. So The Art of Piano Sight Reading was exactly the resource I needed at exactly the right time in my piano journey. Everything I need to understand about sight reading is clearly explained with lots of encouragement to keep going even when it, at first, appears beyond me. Thanks David
Love this piece so much! ... and it's also achievable for "normal people" like me. Give it a try - it's really worth it!
"Gabriel" is a piece that approaches you instantly... And it's not difficult to play!
When I discovered that David was accepting commissioned work, I didn’t hesitate for a moment. I immediately placed an order, asking him to compose a piece in memory of my Mom, who passed away a few years ago. I felt it would not only be a beautiful tribute to her but also a meaningful way for friends and family to celebrate and remember her.
As soon as the order was placed, David reached out to me, asking for as much information about my Mom as I was comfortable sharing. He also posed thoughtful questions about the kind of composition I envisioned—such as the key, style preferences, and more. However, I gave him complete creative freedom, believing that a true musician should let their heart guide the process.
I don’t regret this purchase and am eagerly looking forward to receiving the composition. Naturally, I can’t wait to start learning it so I can play it myself. Although David mentioned it would take two to four weeks, I assured him not to worry about deadlines. Knowing his incredible talent, I have no doubt it will be a masterpiece, just like all of his work.
My favorite variation, from one of my favorite pieces. I'm really enjoying playing it. Thanks so much!
Hi
I love this song .. the melody just flows (like all your stuff) .. I learning this as a break from incantation (my favourite all time piano piece)
love your music love your conservatory with the glass and view … much appreciated
Getting the music sheet for this beautiful piece was really a piece of cake and affordable. 👍
A true German experience: right first time, high quality and very efficient… 😉
What else would you like…? 🙏🏼
Thanks a lot!
I chose your piece because I found it fun to learn + because I enjoy polyrhythms
Liking the piece I’m working on helps keep me motivated to keep practicing. And a modern classic like this blends technique and heart at exactly the right place for my musical taste.
初めて、デビット・ヒッケン様の音楽に触れたのは、先月YouTubeにてオルガン音楽を探している時、偶然表示され、その音楽が『インカンテーション』でした。
気が付いた時にはクリックしてまして、
その旋律が私にとって、とても斬新で新鮮に感じました。
何度も聞いているうち、ぜひCDを購入したいと思いたち、ウエブサイトへたどり着きました。オルガン曲集がある事を知り、今回の購入に至りました。インカンテーションの楽譜も興味があったので合わせて購入しましたが、殆どの音符が8分音符と16分音符で成り立っているのにとても驚きました。
他の曲では『償い』と『赦免』が私の好みでしたが、このアルバムは私にとって忘れられないオルガン音楽集となりました。
とても長い文章になってしまいましたが、
自動翻訳なので、理解に苦しい部分があればお許しください。
また、次回改めて、別のアルバムをも購入したいと考えています。
ありがとうございました。
I liked the melody when I watched a video and the purchase/download was completed within seconds. Learning to play the organ music from the beginning was enjoyable. It keeps your hands and feet moving.
Everything is amazing. I'm amazed that you can compose such a song. I play it on the piano every day. I also follow you on Instagram. Japan Miyuki Kobata
Will take some work to play well. Is beautiful if you can pull it off.
I discovered Lakshmi while listening to an online relaxing piano radio station and immediately fell in love with it. Then I found a YT video of David playing the piece and started to learn it that way (without sheet music). I could grasp around 90% of the notes, since some camera angles were not showing David's hands :)
6 or so months later I purchased the sheet music and filled in the gaps with my piano teacher. I adore this piece and am playing it at least 1x week to my wife and to my mom, they both say that it is calming and joyful.
THANK YOU DAVID ❤️
