Grieg Op. 47 Elegie
on: September 02, 2005, 12:24:15 PM
Hey folks,
I'm quite new here(well, actually i am new). So let's introduce myself. I'm Milan Verheij and i live in Culemborg(that's in the netherlands) and i very much like too play the piano (like duh..).
Well, that was my introducing(yep, short). Let's get to business.
I just made my first real record of Grieg's elegie (op47) which i am just playing for five day's. I hope you enjoy it. I think i have to play the bass a bit less loud. What do you guys think?
P.S. Unfortunalty you hear my harddrive on the recording

I liked it much. Nice dynamics. I would like to learn it but I will nead more than 4 days...
Is there some specific difficulty in this piece?

I didn't really find it difficult too learn, but i'm still not happy enough with how i play it now.
I will post a new version of it tomorrow i think.
There's are some $faults in it
(the piece that's in my first post).

I like your playing, well phrased and balanced.
I do have some technical quibbles, though:
0:14 - The last note for the left hand in measure 7 is an E
sharp
, and similarly in other places where this melody occurs.
0:15-0:18 [measure 8] - Too much ritardando IMO, but that may really be a matter of taste.
0:40 and similar places - the rythm is blurred. e.g. in 0:48 you steal a whole eighth from the count - it sound like a 3/8 bar with its first beat on the right hand E. I think the rest given in the score should be heard somewhat (though may be blurred with pedal
1:02 - that's an A#, not a G#. An A# also stands out much better from the preceding arpeggio.
3:19-3:24 (5-4 measures from the end) - the chord on the fourth measure from the end is not held long enough: in the rythm of the preceding measure it sounds like a quarter-note instead of a half note.
The notes in the second beat in the left hand in the first few bars and similar places sometimes sound a tiny bit too loud for me, but that may be the recording or the piano.

On the contrary, I think the upper register is too loud. At almost every place the accompanying voices dominate, and the melody is lost.
Enjoy the melody.

I wasn't referring to the balance between the melody and the accompaniment, but to the relation of different notes within the melody.
Anyway, I don't feel the melody is lost, but I agree that a softer accompaniment would be better.
