The craziest thing about this transcription is that Alexis Weissenberg - when recording this arrangement - went by the pseudonym "Mr. Nobody". He didn't want people to know it was him! Thankfully Hamelin painstakingly transcribed Weissenberg's recording BY EAR and then popularized it for a new audience. I'm happy to see this video getting so many views! This work deserves more attention - it's on Hamelin's "In a State of Jazz" album, alongside other great Jazzy works.

Many years ago, maybe 30 years ago, I heard Hamelin give a recital in the Wigmore Hall, the program was all obscure virtuoso music, Godowsky and stuff like that, and it he was playing from sheets of music as it was being recorded for a CD. At one point as he was playing, the sheet in front of him fell off the piano and floated gracefully to the floor. Of course he knew the music and he just carried on as if nothing had happened.

One of the most underrated aspects of piano playing: "expressivity". This man embodies it. Someone might be impressed by his superb technique and fluency with this instrument. But the way he conveys so much emotion with tempo, touch, volume control... This is something you cannot teach. And at the same time this is the greatest thing in music.

The official edition of this work based on the original arrangement by Weissenberg and Hamelin's transcription was published by the Japanese publisher Muse Press in 2018 as "6 arrangements of songs by Charles Trenet". There is also an edition by Shota Ezaki dated 2014 circulating online. Both are more accurate than this transcription.

Thank God this man didn't waste his career trying to play standard repertoire. When you are so incredibly gifted at your instrument I consider it the duty of every performer to NOT play what everyone else is playing and instead play what others don't dare to touch because it is so difficult or because they don't think it is worth the time it takes to learn the piece. He unearthes so many gems and then when he does go to the familiar repertoire it's equally amazing. His Haydn for example is exemplary.

But, wow Hamelin has very clean notes and a tight sense of rhythm, that is lacking in most modern musicians. From someone who NEVER compliments musicians. Nice work, beautiful fingering and a lovely touch on the keys. You should be very proud of both this recording and your skills.
