Post by: trus on February 21, 2013, 01:44:13 PM: Hi everyone,
Well, this is my first public so to say erformance, after a long 17 years break in playimg. I have resumed just 2 months ago, considering the fact I could not play a g major in december, its feb and I can just about play somethig like this.
It is not ready yet, I am just learning yet, far from performance level ha ha ha, but I thought you might direct ke if I am going wrog somewhere, as I have no tutor.
There are a few tiny mistakes... im general, I hope to hear fair critisizm,, tips and encouragments, ha ha. I dont ask much. ;) lol
Thanks for watching

I have tried several times to start this piece but I get nowhere fast. I would be thrilled to play it as well as you already do. Congratulations and keep it up!

It seemed to fall apart a bit around 3:50...but overall it is coming along nicely I think.

Thanks for your reply and nice words! I didn't realize my speed was that impressive, lol!
Anyways, re the bit at 3:50, it's' round about that bit which I don't really get. The way I kind of feel about it may not be the way the composer thought of! I have not heard that particular part played on the net, not even in the original videos, others tend to skip it. I have attached the photo of it ( I am sorry, I am so rusty that I cannot describe this part clearly by using music terminology! But I am getting there, refreshing on intervals and major scales at the moment!!!) This bit I am talkingabout starts at 4/4 ff molto mar / piu mosso and finished at the last 6/8. Let me know if you think I got it the idea wrong!

It may be that I am just unfamiliar with that section since you say it is seldom played. I was inspired enough by your post to attempt the right hand on page one again and I am finding it comes much easier to me now than on my prior attempts so I am hoping to progress to hands together soon.
