Chopin first scherzo
on: August 10, 2006, 10:43:26 PM
This is a live rec I made back in May.. It's quite sloppily played, I didn't really have the chance to warm up that much and the (quite crappy) piano was sorta heavy. But oh well, thought this might be interesting to put up anyway. I played it much better on my exam about 2 months later, but this piece is still too hard for me anyway, enjoy ;).

Hey this is pretty good! You posted a small sample of the scherzo once didn't you? (might've been on SDC), I remember thinking that it was pretty wikid. How long did it take you to get it together?  I started this piece once, but abandoned it shortly after.

Thanks, yeah I posted that on dasdc once, when I was still in the long process of learning. It took me about 4 heavy months to get this recital-ready, but I learned it again 2 times for a contest, and for my exam. I actually kept working on this for a whole school year and it still was far from anything that can be called perfect at the end at my exam. This piece is just really, really hard. I was thinking of re-recording, but I was just sick of practicing it :). Glad you like.

lol the legendary "sloppy rec".

:P

Not bad though. 8)
[lau] 10:01 pm: like in 10/4 i think those little slurs everywhere are pointless for the music, but I understand if it was for improving technique

     I'm not close to as good as you, so I can't really judge you, but I do know that the piece sounded excellent. If you had a better recorder it would sound almost like something I buy off of Itunes!  :-* Good work!!!

it is kinda sloppy but then it's a total pregnant dog to nail every time- god knows i've played it much worse, also i really like the interpretation, good job.

Haha thanks all. This piece is a total "pregnant dog" indeed  ;D. I'll relearn it someday.. Maybe in a couple of years I'll actually be able to play it  :P
