'Jimmy' Biegel was a Lieutenant in the NYPD 1938-1973. He said to me when I was 8 years old, "I'll give you $50 if you learn the Chopin Polonaise!"

The longer I live with this piece, it becomes less and less an etude, or study for the Right Hand, and more about the beautiful writing in the Left Hand. I used to play it much faster, but so much music and beauty is lost at such fast speeds. The tonality of E flat Minor already gives us an idea of the mood. It can certainly be played faster, but the spacing between the notes in the Left Hand are so exotic and beautiful, and can get lost in speed.Rachmaninoffs Prelude in E flat MinorJeffrey Biegel2023-12-12 | Rachmaninoff's Prelude in E flat Minor December 12, 2023 Still working on making this a musical 'Prelude' and not an etude.Biegel Plays Rachmaninoffs Prelude in E flat MinorJeffrey Biegel2023-12-05 | a warm up todayJeffrey Biegel at Centenary College - American Piano!Jeffrey Biegel2023-11-20 | ...Peter Boyers Rhapsody Paducah Symphony Promo WPSD NBCJeffrey Biegel2023-11-10 | WPSD NBC News Live Promo for the Kentucky Premiere of Peter Boyer's "Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue" with the Paducah Symphony Orchestra, Raffaele Ponti, Music Director. David Rowton, host.Biegel plays Chopin Etude Opus 10 no. 4Jeffrey Biegel2023-11-07 | Our instruments are not as light action keyboards as Chopin had. There is much music lost in the speed, and many notes go by so fast, the listener doesn't have a second to take it all in. This etude is, for me, a study in perpetual motion, but room to make music too. Yes, I can play it faster, which exists in a past YouTube video, but I think it works well slightly slower as well. Nobody should feel the need to play it so fast to make it sound goodRachmaninoffs Prelude in E flat MinorJeffrey Biegel2023-10-17 | When life throws challenges, we reflect through our fingers and through music. A prelude is not an etude. There is so much music and feeling within the invisible. As the pianist/teacher Adele Marcus often said, "One must very carefully study the visible to understand the invisible".Manhattan SerenadeJeffrey Biegel2023-08-13 | I learned this in my very young days learning how to play the piano. But, the full credit for this piece goes to my sister, Pam, whose playing of this still lives within me. I was seven years old, she, fourteen, playing this with a full heart and sensitive touch on the keys. This is a special memory, this 'Manhattan Serenade'.Prelude in E-flat Minor by RachmaninoffJeffrey Biegel2023-07-29 | After playing the new concertos, decided to play through this gorgeous Prelude by Rachmaninoff in an impromptu way. It is not an etude, or study in double notes, but titled 'Prelude', a short musical composition, a novelty in and of itself. I hear it much differently now than in my younger years. Good listeners enjoy it.Jeffrey Biegel - Reflection of Justice RBG and Equality MLKJeffrey Biegel2023-03-23 | Movements two and three of "Three Reflections for Piano and Orchestra" Music by Jeffrey Biegel Orchestrations by Harrison Sheckler (Movement two begins slightly late)

I used to play it faster and more youthful. Now, I am enjoying the view with its poignancy, haunting inner voices and mood.

He brings a beautiful, heartfelt poetic lyricism to the Earl Wild arrangement of George Gershwin's " The Man I Love". When he first came for a lesson, he played this. We worked on making it sound like a song, breathing within the phrases, and enjoying those notes where one holds their breath. My friend, David Foster, calls those 'the money notes!' He's right! But they are the moments that distinguish one artist from another.
