Debussy - Arabesque No.1

[jz_rach2]

this was recorded way back about 1.5 years ago when i was preparing for my gr10 exam; i'm posting it up just to see how the audition room works (i'm fairly new a member here)
Debussy is one of my favourite composers.
feel free to comment please
thanks

Good, but there were a few notes that were held too long, and you occasionally made notes loud/fast/quiet/slow when they weren't supposed to be.

It might just be my player, but there is also some detaching of a few notes.

Otherwise. Good job.

This piece makes me want to cry.

Very good! I liked your tempo, rubato, phrasing and tone in general. My only complaint is that the chords in the middle section may be just a little too loud and out of proportion with the rest of the piece, considering the mood of the music. (this is Debussy after all). In general, when playing it myself, I adopt a slightly slower tempo and a fuzzier sound - but that said, your approach is equally valid. I enjoyed this recording!

[grazioso]

yeh, its good playing and very accurate. Try and see the piece as a whole and not just individual sections now for more cohesion.
twos against threes were very good!

[gruffalo]

the distinctive descending melody could be a bit more floatier. lovely play though. i enjoyed it very much.

I really enjoyed it.  It motivated me to download the sheet music and start playing it.  So far I got the first page down... meaning can read the notes.  I have to add the fingerings in myself as the edition I got from sheetmusicarchive.com doesn't have fingerings in it at all.  Thanks for sharing the performance and motivating me to pick up this piece!
