Mozart: Sonata in F, K. 332: Allegro
on: July 31, 2006, 02:33:24 AM
I recorded this over the weekend, at home, and since I only have a cheap headset mic and my living room isn't really acoustically suited to be a recording studio, it sounded a bit seedy.  I added some reverb to make it a bit smoother and easier listening. 

Boston GP 156 piano. 

Thoughts, comments welcome.  Hope you enjoy.

I enjoyed a lot your recording. Iīve been working on a mozart sonata, and recently recorded it, and I know how dificult it is to get the dinamics and stuff to appear in a cheap mic set. You delivered it beautifully, I like your articulation, Dinamics are nice to. basicaly itīs working all right. The only think I would sugest is in some places whre you can hear to much the acompaniement, to  make it a little more soft, if you like it.  But you shouldnīt listen to me, because its probably because of the mics. You are playing it very well. thanks for sharing!

Nice work! ;)

Very nice!! This is one of my favourites - especially the third movement.

It could go a little bit faster and with a little less pedal though perhaps that is a matter of taste.

Hi le poete,  (love the nome de plume  ;))

I enjoyed your rendition very much.  I posted my own, as I had a recording (very rare for me to have made one!) just for fun.  I like what you did with the piece.  In answer to your trill question, I think I really decided based on what "felt" OK to me.  I am forgetting exactly how you did the ones you mention (I should listen again)--but I have heard them done starting on the auxiliary note or not--and it sounds fine either way to my ear. 

Keep up the nice work!
Teresa

I suppose it is taste; I feel that if it is played too fast, the "woodwind" section at the beginning will be rushed and not allowed to breathe.  I'm guessing I was playing between 110 and 120 bpm = quarter note, which seems to qualify for allegro, but yes, it could go faster without pushing it.

"Le poete mourant" is the name of a piece by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, which translates out to "the dying poet."  It's one of his better-known pieces, although I prefer L'Union.
