This is from my senior recital in April 2005. It's one of the most difficult pieces in my repertoire at the moment. Hope you like it!
Comments/critiques always welcome!

Some of you may have heard it, but I never put it up for audition here yet, so here it is!
The first file is from my senior recital at KU. The second file is from another recital I did in St. Louis about a month later... funny story about this one... in the second main section there's the familiar FF contrary motion chromatic chords in D Major... well, I went an octave too far on this recital, and had to skip quite a bit of the piece as a result. Interesting how these things happen during performance... ;)
Anyway, both recordings are here... |
Has anyone played this one? When it starts spreading with the left hand jumping up and down on the keys, the left keeps going over the right hand, which plays the same loop again and again. Is there another way to play this? I couldn't figure out any other fingering besides using the right hand for the loop and jumping the left over the right whenever needed. This causes difficulties in some parts when the keys that are to be pressed at same time are like adjacent to each other. If anyone has played it or just has reasonable suggestions, blurt it out.
Here's the 'beginning' (the spreading I was talking about)
