I'm a piano God (well.... not yet):
[b]FIRST ATTEMPT[/b] in Feb 2008 (see other attempts below) http://youtube.com/watch?v=gI6LafOP6uI
(mainly just sound, digital picture of my violin stand, painted cello, and end of my piano).
Seriously, I'm just kidding about the piano God thing. It's more like G-aweful.
Well, I wanted to celebrate by recording this, I just learned all the notes (well at least I can read them off the page now) of the Chopin 10/1 Etude.
It got very G-aweful towards the end - sorry, I learned it from beginning to end.
I do need comments because I intend to improve !
[b]UPDATE (MARCH 1, 2008) ATTEMPT #2[/b] I included a video that now shows my hands (I suspended the camera on my violin music stand). And now I can play it a bit faster and the end isn't as messed up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afj2HdZ1f0s (this is try #2 of Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 1 recorded 10pm March 1, 2008). Comments? [b]UPDATE (MARCH 8, 2008) ATTEMPT #3[/b] Now this is a little faster and I put the camera further back. It is still suspended on the music stand.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=34IBH6htnT0 (this is try #3 of Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 1 recorded midnight March 7, 2008). Getting faster...
[b]UPDATE (March 9, 2008) Full speed with wrong notes here and there[/b]

Here is a fairly cool interpretation.What are your thoughts.

And attached is one of the better takes...
This is something I learned and played a few years ago. I started practising this again a few days ago and recorded it last night, supposedly for a competition audition cd. In any case, it didn't turn out good >< [and obviously I didn't put it in the cd]
...is it lack of practise? Or am I doing something wrong? I did no less than 5 takes and my RH wrist was busted. HELP! |
| I ask myself this because I try to figure out which is the minimal handspan that is necessary. I try to keep my hand as closed as possible. Have your say :) |
| ok. i thought i had three - but everytime i went to record - i messed up on page 3. |
| this is a tied note, right? tied to the next measure (measure 34?) just making sure. it seemed like 'the odd one out.' |
op 10 no 1
I'm playing this, Ondine and a Beethoven sonata on an audition on Friday. I'm also sending these recordings for various summer courses. Comments are appreciated.
BTW, the battery on my MP3-player was almost at zero and I could only do one take, so I ended up playing very fast to make sure that I got the whole piece recorded ;D I usually play it more accurately... |
Generally, I can read music, but I'm a little confused by a couple of things in two Chopin scores I've been playing around with. First, in the Op. 10 No. 1 Etude in C, the very first measure contains a left-hand octave in C held for eight beats; however, the first note in the right hand is the 1/16 note played on the same note after a 1/16 rest. How do you play that C in the RH if you're already holding it in the LH? Is it simply written so that your hand starts out playing the full C arpeggio? Is it not actually audible in the RH? I don't get it.
My next question concerns the Op. 64 No. 2 Waltz in C# minor. In measure three in the RH, there are two accidentals on the F, first a natural followed immediately by a sharp. What does this mean, and which of the two takes precedence here? In the previous measure, F has a double-sharp. Is the natural there simply to cancel out the double sharp and make sure I don't interpret it as a triple-sharp? That seems unnecessary as an accidental only is in effect for a single measure.
TIA. |
