When people come over your house and see your piano and ask you to play something, that piece by Chic Corea is EXACTLY what you should play. Light, airy, kind of simple in it's way, inviting, yet astoundingly beautiful. Yet nobody but a really brilliant artist can actually do something like that. It's what makes the piano such an annoying instrument to play.

In a different vein, this was my first contact with Chick Corea and one of his better known compositions, I think I first heard it on vinyl in about 1979. Dig the funky modern technology!
What a lineup - Stan Getz representing the old guard with Corea, Stanley Clarke and Tony Williams. I know, it's mostly saxophone, but we need a bit of balance....

Link to video@Doctor-Phibes , that's great!
Love that Stan Getz Quartet video.
Every artist performed great individually and the entire band performed great as an ensemble.
The music itself, as a composition, is a masterpiece.
I suspect this will be the rare few pieces that I can listen to many times and still be awed and entertained every time for a long time. -
When I was a teen, returns to forever’s romantic warrior was the go to “get stoned” music.

Pass that doobie!
Seriously though, I have that album on vinyl and it is still spectacular after all these years.

I checked my Chick Corea transcription book and the prelude is not there.
So... just screenshot each youtube page of notes to print.
Am I the only 🤪 -
That’s the Scriabin Prelude I was referring to in my earlier post.
It has a particular attraction to me as a music miniature, not least because it evokes very pleasant personal memories of a sunny autumn afternoon walking along the Garden Ring park surrounding downtown Moscow amid the mature oak, maple and linden trees.
