What Song is this?

PianoManChuck · Post by **PianoManChuck** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 4:09 am

I did a short 20-second test of the German Grand piano, playing what I thought demonstrated the tonality of the German Grand setting pretty well:

Problem is, I have no idea what the name of this song is, or who wrote it. I'm fairly certain its from some classical piece.

Could anyone help me out with the name & author? Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to be Tchaikovsky...

It's a Barry manilow tune

Chopin Prelude in C Minor.

Manilow used it as the intro to "Could it Be Magic."

(Sorry that I know the second piece of trivia!)

Wow - so Manilow really DID use this piece for an intro

Thanks for the title & author. I'll change the description of the Youtube listing to reflect that.

I remember learning this a long time ago. It's one of Chopin's requiems.

Don't know that tune (never was a Manilow fan)... so probably won't be doing a demo of it. How about you??

I don't know. I am not close enough to Vegas to catch that Manilow vibe.

Be careful.

It's the intro for Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic" which is itself based on Chopin's Prelude in C Minor.

Don't be sorry! Manilow is amazing! This is the one classical piece I love playing - it sounds fantastic, easy to play, and seems to resonate with a lot of people.

BTW, I just got my Kronos 61 - #1433

With the snug fitting data wheel and everything!
