      (1) Nocturne in C-sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 1

            --- Chris Rice, piano

 

                   EXCERPT # 1:

 

                     LARGE ----- requires a fast internet connection, or it may take a long time to download

                                                     this version!

                     MEDIUM --- smaller size allows excellent visual quality, and download time is shorter

                                                     than "large"

                     SMALL -----  sort of a "last resort" <grin> ... the audio is identical to that which you'd

                                                    hear with "large" or "medium," but the video is very compressed (so

                                                    downloading doesn't take as long) ... so the visual quality isn't as

                                                    good, but it will at least give you a glimpse!

 

                     NOTE:  if you don't have it already, you'll need to download a copy of QuickTime(tm)

                                           in order to watch and listen ... you can download it (free) here:
