Bartók: First Term at the Piano, Sz. 53, No. 15 Bedtime (Folksong)

 

Czerny: Hundert Übungsstücke, Op. 139, No. 21 Allegro

 

This is the last of the Czerny 100 I did because the next one (No. 22) proved too difficult for me.

Beethoven: Ecossaise in E flat major, WoO 86

The Band's "Up on Cripple Creek"

The Ed Sullivan Show's YouTube channel recently uploaded a video of the Band performing "Up on Cripple Creek" (dated 2 November 1969), and since there's a fairly clear albeit brief shot of Garth Hudson's Clavinet, I thought I would post it here.

The instrument is clearly an early model, either a Clavinet I or a Clavinet II.  Normally, the name would be displayed on the panel beneath the keys (as seen with the Clavinet I here), but this has been removed, apparently for tuning purposes.  According to this site, however, Hudson had a Clavinet II.  As far as I can tell, the only difference between the Clavinet I and the Clavinet II is that the Clavinet I had built-in speakers but the Clavinet II didn't.
