Phillip, in that video, is that an iPad you are reading the music from? How do you change the pages when you need to? Do you use a pedal with your left foot? I am thinking of biuying a new compuoiter soon, because the current one I'm using is wearing out, I think - it turns off suddenly for no reason occasionally, some keys stick, and the battery is completely dead. I am thinking of getting one of those hybrid laptops which you can use as a normal laptop, but you can also turn it into a tablet by folding the keyboard underneath. The purpose of this is to allow me to use it, in tablet mode, on the piano stand to play from, which you can't really do with a normal laptop. But I will be getting a Windows computer, because everything I do is within that universe, so I wonder whether there is a way of turning pages efficiently with Windows computers - most musicians do seem to use iPads or Macintosh computers. But for all sorts of reasons it is not practical for me to do that.

Looking at the pseudonyms used by Frederic Mullen that you list, I see I have several books of pieces by "Gustave Lind", and I think I have one or two by "Pierre Lascaut" also. He seems to have been omnipresent early in the 20th century.

Someone else who plays Frederic Mullen! I first encountered his work in the 1970s, as a result of regularly visiting various second-hand book-shops that also sold music, and I would go through all the music, sometimes taking a couple of hours if there was a lot to go through, and I would pull out anything that looked interesting, and buy it, take it home, and then sight-read through it all, which would take me several hours. I was in Melbourne, Australia, but this music found its way here, despite most of it originating in Britain, Europe, or the U.S. I don't claim I learned it all thoroughly to performing standard, though; but I used to like exploring such music, and I am good at sight-reading, so this was quite a feasible way of getting to know what the music was like. I did eventually find this book of Scènes Romantiques, but that was much later. The first Mullen book I found, back around the mid 1960s, was called "Highways and Byways"; I wonder whether you have that, Phillip. Its four movements are "The Still Woodlands", "The Little Shepherdess", "By the Lych-Gate", and "On the Broad Highway". I used to visit my grandmother every month or two and stay the night, and I would play various things on her piano, and she got to like half a dozen or so pieces, including "On the Broad Highway", so I associate that piece with her, now that she is long gone. It's quite a difficult piece, and I don't think I ever felt quite easy with a few of its more difficult moments. (The others of her favourites that I recall were "Pickin' Cotton" by Dell Wright, "The Little Negro" by Debussy, Impromptu in Gb major by Schubert, Op. 90, D. 899, no. 3, and "The Dreaming Spires" by Alan Richardson. So these all became very familiar to me over some years.) Anyway, a lot of Mullen's work is now on imslp.org, including "Highways and Byways" (but not "Scènes Romantiques").

Thanks so much for sharing..... I love hearing new repertoire 👏👏

excellent rendition of this beautiful chef d'oeuvre !

Élégante gavotte. C'est un réel plaisir de l'écouter avec ces légers échos de cornemuse. Merci Phillip.

Such jolly music. Shame youtube has changed the ui. This is so messy having the comments tucked away while you get distracted by recommended videos blaring below the current video. I changed the screen mode to hide them.

Very nicely played.

Peaceful.

Very nice!

Very charming! I passed it on!

J'adore cette pièce musicale ! au piano cela a une autre allure que celle qu'on entend d'habitude à l'accordéon. Cette danse a encore un certain succès dans le "bal musette". La java a inspiré de nombreux compositeurs, je pense au chanteur compositeur toulousain Claude Nougaro qui a eu beaucoup de succès avec "le jazz et la java".

C'est réjouissant, jubilatoire, festif. Beaucoup de succès auprès des élèves demoiselles au point de donner le nom au facteur de pianos. Il existe toujours la Salle Pleyel où des artistes donnent des concerts. De nos jours je crois que les élèves, même jeunes, préfèrent d'autres compositeurs, le goût artistique évolue avec le temps.

i like it a lot.

Very pleasant to hear rondo. 🎼 Excellent interpretation. 💯🎶🎹 Thanks for sharing, Mr. Sear! 👍 Awilda 🌞🌊🚣‍♀️🏖🌴🏡🐕

👏👏👏 ! Столько замечательных произведений я слышу благодаря Вам!! я тоже играю ,но в основном только дурачусь,играю современную поп-музыку( надо тоже переходить на классику. Вы молодец ,не останавливайтесь!

Beau coucher de soleil ! c'est une fort jolie pièce de piano. Merci Phillip

Une magnifique pièce romantique remplie de fébrilité ! presque un mouvement de symphonie.

So, Phillip…out of all these thousands of pieces( and I hope you’ve kept count) do you have a favorite? Are any especially memorable? Still waiting for the Chapuis, btw, but I can wait.

Sweet and tender melody🎼. Excellent performance.💯🎶🎹 Thanks for sharing, Mr. Sear! 👍Awilda 🌞🌊🚣‍♀️🏖🌴🏡🐕
