Title: Fantasie Op. 1 (3 Pieces for Piano Solo) No. 2 in g: Allegro molto appassionato
Post by: cardinals on December 19, 2008, 08:04:06 PM

Could you listen to this and give me some comments? I've just finished up to the return of the A theme for the second one (it is still work in progress)...but after the fast section I will add some slow Eb part to complete the whole music...

Please note that the playing is not so perfect...actually the original score is with more dynamic contrast and rubato, and the phrasing needs to be more natural with more even tempo and fingerings...I think I will have to ask one of my friends here to perform it in case this fantasie is going to be played for the recital...

Thanks and have a merry Christmas... :D

What can I say? It is from another time and I really do like it a lot. It's very passionate and reminds me of Schumann. I'm wondering if, depending on what the final movement sounds like, maybe the order could be swapped...think this piece first or last, and the first piece you uploaded in the middle. What do you think?

Anyway, good work. You're writing a very enjoyable set, worthy of a good performance.

p.s. I have a hard time believing you wouldn't be capable of putting on a good performance of these yourself, as you do play quite well, but I understand it can be a good exercise for a pianist-composer to find another performer for a piece they've written. That can also be educational!
