Edvard Grieg - Arietta (from Lyric Pieces)

[quasimodo]

A simple score which is a hell to make something sweet of...

I think if I were to play this for my piano teacher he might say to make the left hand somewhat quieter--otherwise really nice---I love Grieg

Yeah I know... Actually the big trick is that the arpeggios are shared in both hands, basically two notes LH and two RH, hence my trouble about voicing. My only consolation is that some pro-pianists also seem to struggle in differentiating the melody from the "accompaniment". Yet I'll spend a lifetime trying to perfect the matter.
Thanks for reacting!

I liked it.

I actually play this little piece.

I find your rendition to fast. Try slowing down and getting more feel into it. That should help get the voicing.

How do you pedal the 1st 8 measures.  My scores indicate pedal goes down on the 1st beat of measure 1 but never indicates it going up.  Measure 9 begins a new pedal down marking.

If I hold the pedal for all 8 measures it begins to sound muddy.

It's nice, but too sharp..

It has to feel warmer than this. Try to soften it up and slow it down a bit. However, don't lose the clarity in your touche.

Watch that pedal tho
