| I just looked up the variations on youtube and realized that you cross your hands at the two bars just before the end of the first theme/section. (?) I had split up the fingering for the notes so I don't cross my hands (...im playing it allegretto). I didn't realize that the intention was to cross the hands so my question is, am i cheating and should i just relearn those bars? I'm under the impression that it kinda doesn't matter but i wanted some opinion on this. |

After listening to them like a million times on my nano the past 2 weeks, I've decided to begin studying this wonderful music.
My concern right now is which edition/book/etc i should buy. The pdf from piano street is nice to read while listening to the music, but not for learning - at least not for me! The sheet music archive has one, any comments on that?
any suggestions welcome. thanks a lot :) |

Hi guys. I've worked on these pieces for a few months now. I think my ornamentation is pretty clean, but the rhythm could use a bit of work.
Tell me if I'm off to a good start?

This is my first attempt at recording.
I'm a mostly self-taught pianist. I've had five years of fairly basic piano lessons and I've played by myself for five years.
I love listening to Glenn Gould so I try to sound like him. Please tell me if my attempt at imitating Gould's staccato fails terribly.
More recordings of the Goldberg to come in the future, I hope. |

Hi everybody. This is my first post to the Audition Room.
I'm 29 and a late starter. I've only been studying since last July, so don't expect to hear any overwhelming exhibition of technique. The sound quality is also poor, I apologize for that. (I'll record it again with a better equipment, soon.)
I'd pretty much appreciate to hear from you guys about this.
I purposefully decided not to re-record anything to correct mistakes (these are all first take's) because I wanted you to be able to listen to my average play (not the best I can do, possibly, but probably not the worst, also - the worst was surely last Monday, during my first real audition, what the hell was that?!...)
Thank you very much!
Cheers,
Vinícius.

| Any tips? (especially on the ornamentation etc). |

I just played a recital that consisted of the Goldberg Variations and nothing else. I felt that in preparing these for my first public performance, I shouldn't divide my attention (Or, to be more honest, I don't have the mental capacity to divide my attention)
. But now I know them and I'm comfortable with them, and I think next time I play them (6 months from now) I'd like to add something else to the program.
But it's such a problem! Do you give people more Bach? If not, what else would complement such a monumental work? And do you play the Goldberg's first or last on the program? How do you make sure the audience doesn't get worn out?
So far, the best thing I could come up with was to open with Goldbergs, then take a break, then play the Bach/Busoni Chaconne in D minor as a large encore.
Advice, please! |
