Lalita Cantellyou - Thailand
Lalita introduces the pieces herself on each video.
Lalita's Blog
My Name is Lalita and I was born and live in Thailand. I
am at the moment 11 years of age and was introduced to piano music when
I was 4 years old when Santa left me a small keyboard in my Xmas
stocking. Later I got a larger keyboard and still later I got the
electric piano that I have now for Xmas from my Dad. Since then it has
become my close friend and I spend a lot of my time playing with it. Of
course I have given it a name - Piano - (very unique isn't it) - who
has a nameless friend after all?
Anyhow, I am trying to improve
my performance all the time and hope one day to be able to play very
well. Posting and watching clips on YouTube is helping me with that and
I am now enjoying very much making new friends with the same interests
as I have.
Country: Thailand
Interests and Hobbies: I love
natural things and animals and I have a hamster that I have named (of
course) Godziller, I like reading most of all (apart from my piano) and
have lots of books; Nature and all of the amazing things that are and
have been in the world are my favourite subjects, Going to the Zoo is a
mixture of enjoyment and distress for me because though I love to see
all the animals it pains me to see them locked up in cages and I
sometimes see the sorrow in their eyes and it makes me sad.
Films
and Shows: I have many movies on VCD and DVD - nature, action,
concerts, super heroes (Superman, Spiderman, Batman among them)...
What's life without a few Super Heroes after all ... and I like to
watch them on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon. I never
watch them during the week because I don't have time after homework and
piano practice. I hate TV and never ever watch it. In fact my family
doesn't have a TV connection of any kind.
Music: Classical music is
my favourite I think... I'm not a Rock and Roll, Jazz or Country and
Western girl... But I love Barry Manilow, The Bee Gees, Moody Blues,
Englebert and also Pavarotti, Demis Roussos and Julio Iglesias, and
have quite a few of their concerts on DVD.
Books: Certainly NOT mathematics or Physics or Chemistry that's for sure.
This is a very lively little piece titled The Private Detective that I like a lot. I don't know where it originated but if anyone can enlighten me on that I would appreciate the information. Anyhow I hope you enjoy it.
Hello again everyone,
This piece, as far as I know, was
composed by Paul de Senneville and later made famous by Richard
Clayderman. Now, because we can't do a very good job of pronouncing the
French language we call it 'The Charging Goblins'.
Marriage D'Amour (Paul de Senneville).

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (1st mvt)
Mozart's Sonata K545 Mvt 1, Mvt 2 & Mvt 3.
Please
see the final segment of mvt 3 in the video responses. This had to be
cut along with other trimmings because of the 10 minute limit per
upload.
In this submission I am interpreting this fantastic
suite, Sonata 1 K545 by Mozart, in perhaps a lot different manner than
he originally intended, but I have a feeling that he would not be too
hard on me for doing that, under the circumstances. I hope you agree.
Though
I am not familiar with the original theme, I have interpreted it to
suit a little message I want it to portray with it, as, the present and
the future state of our planet.
Movement 1, might represent the
turmoil; the hurricane of confusion and distress, being suffered by
millions in war zones; the bombs and rockets exploding, and the
terrified people running from the mayhem and violence, clutching their
babies and loved ones, trying, without hope, to escape to find peace
and stability.
Movement 2, in contrast, might represent the life
that most of the rest of us live, with calm and plenty; children making
and sharing music, playing in the garden or the park with their pets
and parents, or just having fun with their friends.
Movement 3
might represent all of us children, regardless of where or who we are,
growing to adulthood and running all over the place trying desperately
to clean up the mess that all of the fools; the insane and greedy, past
and present dictators and presidents; the warmongers and fanatics have
spent so much time and money and effort bestowing upon us as their
legacy.
Well, however you might like to interpret them, I hope you enjoy my effort.

Additional info.
Because
this piece is being interpreted as it is, it might be worth explaining
that I have emphasised the heavier cords in the first movement to
represent the bombs and rockets of war; the rapid sequences to
represent the associated fear and frantic attempts to escape; the
slower and more subdued sections to represent the short periods of calm
between attacks.
With the second movement I tried to capture a calm and pristine environment, but think I still played it a little too fast.
With
the third movement I tried to portray a kind of panic, where people (of
the future - the present children, like me) are running all over the
place trying to stop the creeping destruction of global warming and
environmental decay, while at the same time trying to rebuild the
devastated areas and clean up the enormous mess that will be left for
us to contend with.
When I discussed this all with my Dad
initially he suggested I write a short composition, detailing as best I
could how what is happening in our world today is effecting me. I did
and then he helped me to prepare it in a condensed script that could
accompany the music that I had chosen for my message. I practiced the
three movements trying hard to include the emotions involved, and
though perhaps not perfect (a few slips here and there too) I feel that
I managed to get it mostly as I wanted it.
All rather a novel
approach to Mozart's fabulous suite I agree, but it seemed to fit my
main concerns and I feel sure that the Spirit of Mozart - if it is
looking down on me - will not be offended.. I hope so..
