rachmaninov prelude op 23 #2

[pianistimo]

this is for dannyelfboy.  three days of practice and it's still kinda slow.  but, i really like the piece.  this is just the 'return' section.  still working the middle. 

[imbetter]

no offense or anything but you should really perfect a piece before posting it here.

nice sight-reading

finally.  someone who understands.  i mean this was a competition of sorts.  to see who could play it without having seen it before.  i'm waiting for opus10no2's reply.  but, apparently he's off romancing.  i suppose i will be stuck with this chopin etude op 10 #4 forever.

he sent jake to plague me with a reality i already knew about.  i * at etudes.  in fact, when i went in for lessons at west chester - and the teacher gave me an etude - i blankly said 'i can't play those.'  then he said...'yes you can .  i'll show you how.'  well, the thing is he gave me some great tips and i CAN play chopin - but i'm sort of a beginner with chopin etudes - he can't exactly give me his brain.  i get so far into the piece and then some sort of neural connection breakdown happens and even if practiced a section over and over - one note does the whole thing in.  i've been recording and rerecording over and over this stupid etude and i can't get the whole thing in one shot.  it makes me want to kill myself.  unless i record it slow - which i won't do to opus 10no2's satisfaction.
