My Music Monday - Moon River - I love a Piano Solo



I played the tuba in a school band for a couple of years, not very well, I have visual spatial issues that make reading music a challenge, and the music teacher had no idea how to teach around that.  One of the few modern classics we played was Moon River.

  3. Love it!
    It's such a beautiful melody. Instantly recognizable. I just watched Breakfast at Tiffany's because I found it on HBO. Love that movie.

    XOXO

  5. That song always sounds so melancholy to me, especially with just piano. But still, really beautiful!

    Nicely played and with some passion. I didn't know the song came from a movie sound track.

  8. When I played piano I remember playing this.
    It's a crowd pleaser.
