Fibich-Poem: well sort of...

[sklebil]

Hi, I hope it is not illegal on this forum to post a rather apalling performance . I found this piece (Fibich's Poem) a few days ago in my "old material from my childhood" that I keep for occassional sight-reading sessions. I really like this piece, but I realized I've never actually heard it being performed, and couldn't find an
mp3 on the web. So I wonder - do I play it approximately the way that it is supposed to sound? Am I tooooo slow and funeral-like? OK I know about the obvious bugs which are partially due to the lack of my abilities (main reason in fact  ) and partially due to the fact that I didn't really *practice* this particular piece but rather just played it a few times, and also due to the fact that I was recording myself (everybody knows that, right) , but roughly this would be my idea how to perform this piece. Any suggestions or constructive criticism? Or can someone play this piece for me?  The reason I dare to post it here is that I don't have a teacher but would like to improve my performance. If you are easily shocked, don't listen to it .

It seems a nice piece although i must admit i'm not overly familiar with it.

Given the short time-scale of learning it i think you play it well with some good phrasing and musical playing throughout.

Sometimes the odd note stuck out as being a bit loud in the melody but this is probably due to the recording or lack of familiarity with the piece. i think the tempo works well!

Become slighlty more familiar and it will be a lovely performance!!!
