Good job again Rowan - and good song! Your description pretty much sums up what I think about nearly every time I play one of the old rolls in my collection... It's inevitable that the day is coming the old paper in the old piano rolls simply won't tolerate being played any more, and I know I'll dearly miss some being able to play some of the rolls in my collection if that day should come in my lifetime. That's a lot of the reason I started recording a lot of mine as well, so that no matter what I'd still be able to enjoy hearing them on my piano, even if it became not feasible to play one "live" any more. Keep up the good work!

This is such a technically difficult piece. It would take a lifetime to be this good. The precision in the left hand jumping such a wide range and the 4 or five finger block chords in the right. Lee sims in one of the greatest pianists along with Willie the lion Smith, fats waller and others. What makes lee sims truly great is his haunting somewhat dreamy melancholy chord progressions and harmonisation in the right hand whilst maintaining a pumping swing stride in the left whilst adding to the harmonisation in the right at the same time. His arpeggios are fast and complex. Lee sims interpretations of the music of the time were always extremely popular, particularly with piano rolls.

It's quite nice, especially the chorus. What a sweet, honest and true man, love in the air and the insanity put aside. Also, on a side note, why are they placed as dots instead of lines? (I'm not judging anything, just curious and confused)
@rowanbelt3612
@rowanbelt3612 2 месяца назад
It's a really pretty waltz. I think it was very popular as I see different versions of it often. The dots are just a difference in how it was manufactured. Those dots are punched into the paper roll. Having a little bit of paper remaining between the dots makes the paper stronger - less likely to distort or rip. However, it reduces some of the rhythmic subtlety that is possible. Some other manufacturers punched the dots overlapping so that it turned into one continuous line as you have seen.

The music is quite nice. The ending chorus was quite off, though 🤔 (reading description) Ah, that's why. Totally normal, it happens. Sometimes I think of trying to continue my pieces with a better ending, but I end up rushing and add a basic ending, like I did with most of my recent pieces. 😂🤣 Quite a dissonant chord. E, F, G, and B-flat (don't know the name of such a chord) sounds shockingly good for an ending.

Thank you for your comment. While I must admit that I stop short of a comparison with such a great composer as Bach, I am a staunch advocate of Lee Sims' music and I believe he is one of the most brilliant, if not the single most brilliant, of the arrangers in the 1920s. Many people still know George Gershwin, far fewer know Sims, and I hope to help remedy that situation. Thank you again!
