Rachmaninoff Etude, Liszt Ballade, and Scriabin Prelude

[cherub_rocker1979]

Hey guys.  I've been taking lessons for 9 years.  I've uploaded the following pieces:

Rachmaninoff - Etude Tableau Op.39 No.5
Liszt - Ballade No.2 (Excerpt)
Scriabin - Prelude Op.11 No.6

I really want to know what you guys think!

Rachmaninoff - Etude Tableau Op.39 No.5

Let me start here. As I've said elsewhere, I don't get to TEACH people who play such pieces. So it's a real pleasure for me to come here and see people working hard, and this (in my opinion) is a VERY difficult composition.

You have some wrong notes, but I'd wager you know that and that they are not misreadings but just "things that went bump in the night" as you recorded.

In my opinion you have the piece in your fingers in a way that will enable you to play this with mastery in the future. At the moment, I think the sheer challenge of getting all the notes has you a bit tight, and believe me, I can understand this, since I've been struggling with the same issues. I'm working on this myself right now.

Would you like me to mention things that I heard that might be true mistakes, rhythm or notes?

Are you referring to the Rachmaninoff Etude-Tableau?

Are you referring to the Rachmaninoff Etude-Tableau?

Yes. The Etude Tableau Op.39 No.5. I quoted that above my comments. It's one of my favorite Rachmaninov compositions.
