HI

 I recorded this a few months back, apart from the obvious errors its not too bad, but needs some help from you guys. So please help.

some of the notes in the beginning triplets are hidden, and it's perhaps too much rubato,  it's classical, not romantic (I do the same thing *slaps hand*)
I'm being rally harsh, but are the triplets at times a little uneven and maybe a bit on the loud side when the melody should be soaring above the rest of the notes.
Good crescendo in the ascending/descending broken chords (bar 32-40), and nice heavy ponderous feel right after that when the melody moves to the bass clef. I personally find that at bar 67 unsing una corda and no sostenutu gives a really nice morendo feel to teh piece. bar 18 and bars like it make sure that in the D to C chord the D is really brought out (some of these things could because of the recording so sorry if it is ) I think of anything else to say other than good performance, moonlight is a tough piece, simply because it's so famous and everyone likes it a certain way, don't you think?  I personally get dinged when I play moonlight which sucks because it's such an incredible piece!
Thanks for posting it!

  No i dont think you are being harsh, i really cant play evenly, clearly or fast anymore .

  BTW what does morendo mean ?

[henrah]

According to Dictionary.com, a Morendo is 'A gradual decrescendo (diminuendo I think they mean) at the end of a strain or cadence.

Very nice playing zheer, even if it is uneven. It sounded really nice! There are times where there's a sudden diminuendo then crescendo, which I'm sure wasn't meant for (probably a slip by not playing hard enough and notes playing only just, I do it quite a bit) but it still worked! Although, what are those clunks? Are they the sustain pedal moving? Either way, it still sounded great!

morendo, from italian, means "dying"

[alwaystheangel]

thanks piano121, school, couldn't reply until now, yeah, morendo means dying away.  A very strong decrescendo and a ritardando.
Great playing!
Love that piece!
