And the music was like a poem without words

[spirithorse21]

Quite by accident I came across one of the most beautiful piano pieces I've ever heard. It is a secret pleasure of mine, the piano. I am only a mediocre player, but I thoroughly enjoy listening to it. As I thought the piece was so beautiful, I wanted to share.

The piece is called The Heart Asks Pleasure First and comes from the motion picture The Piano. I found it as background music to a dressage slide show. As I enjoyed the beautiful horses more than the scenes from the movie, I will share that video instead. But the music is credited incorrectly. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I love piano too. I played for many years, what my heart felt and I heard, as after 9 years of lessons, marching band and concert band, I still can not read music- I play by ear. That is one of the most important things to me about going home for Thanksgiving is that I get to play my mothers piano and I do for days! Its so horrible when I first start playing again, my fingers clumsily hit the keys and it makes me want to cry. But when I stop thinking about it, close my eyes and let my fingers take over its like my soul expresses itself in rare form. Thank You for sharing this, we need to go find a good, maybe graduate piano concert or something at IU campus.

I throughly enjoyed the montage to this piano peace. I found myself closing my eyes and drinking in the music to the core of my soul. Thank you! This was truly an enjoyable experience.

Gorgeous piece of music! I have heard it many times and have seen the film, but I could never remember the name of the piece - so thanks for finding it! I too play the piano, and love listening to piano music.
