Chopin: Polonaise-Fantaisie in A Flat, Op. 61

So the ending isn't quite perfect but I think the rest of it came out okay  :-\  Another month or two and it'll probably be fine  8)

...that's an understatement. This really is like doing F1 in a Corolla! The resonance, the tone quality, the dynamic possibilities etc. etc. are just impossible to do this piece any justice.

i love this piece, too.  good job on the crappy piano!  (sorry if that sounded bad).  i have a casio px-310 and i love it - even if it's not perfect.  it keeps me practicing when everyone wants quiet. 

seriously, i want WATN to play that piece!  it's such an interesting and wonderfully fantasmic thing.  you give it a lot of energy.  i'd like to hear the contrast in dynamics on a real piano - but i get the gist here.  cool. 

on the rhythmic parts - also - on a real piano you can hear the endings.  that's the only problem with these silly digitals.

agreed, though being in an apartment I'm pretty much stuck with this :-/  And honestly the acoustic pianos I have access to in practice rooms sound so bad they're probably not much better, lol

yes the piano, but you can hear through it. the peice is mesmerizing. and i think that you have captured some "organic" quality of the music---don't know how to put it---the development------very natural and whole----beautiful---much potential---  :)
