Muzio Clementi - (6 Sonatine for piano)Op.36-1 1st Mov

[gfz87]

Hi everybody, my name is Gian Franco, I am from Argentina. I started to play the piano in december last year, and my teacher said to me that I have to play this piece in the next audition (they`re more like recitals) on Saturday. All the students play some work, and this is done every two months. I know it is a very basic piece, but I´m doing most of all Hanon to learn independence and strenght for each finger. Im also perfecting the Prelude "Raindrop" from Chopin, but I´m not conviced at the time, so I will post it soon. Well, I ask for your opinion, so there it is. Thanks and bye

PS: I own a Yamaha Clavinova CLP-170, so I recorded it with the aux outputs. Still, I think it sounds real. Bye

PS2: Just noted that in the second repetition of the second part, I play 2 notes together instead of one. Im really sorry for this...

Hi Gian Franco,

Very good job for a few months playing piano. You play it in a good tempo and very few missnotes. The best critisism should come from your teacher, not from me, anyway...

In bar 6 you do a very strange silent - same as in repetition.
In bar 3, repetition, you played LH a C on second beat.
You play slowler when it's piano, and fater when it's f. Try to keep the same tempo.
In general I felt lack of musicality, and even from this simple piece, you should bring up much more musicality. Bars 20-23 is a good example of that. I just hear a repetitive G, but you should make me hear the melody in LH

Overall you did a good job! just a little effort more and you will have very good performance.

Hi riga, yes, in bar 6 I do that strange silent, which Im trying to correct. My teacher told me the same thing. I guess i pictured in my head the song in a way that it wasnt ok. I also heared one more time, and you are right, i play forte faster than piano, so I will look it better next time. What i dont understand, it is
"In bar 3, repetition, you played LH a C on second beat."
I think that there is a C there. I dont have the score right now, but I will see it. Well i gotta go. Thanks for your comments, and I expect more. Maybe I will post a new recording covering all these mistakes. Bye

Well, I agree with Riga. Good job that you're already at this level of playing (!).. but the piece isn't yet 'complete'. You're hesitating sometimes (you can't keep up the tempo sometimes) and it doesn't sound very musical. Add some crescendo/decrescendo, for example at places where you play 'scales' and indeed at the place that riga directed to (20-23). I would say, practise it slowly with as much (as in a bit 'too much') expression as you can think of.. and in even tempo... Good luck! You can do it

Hi again. Well, today I've played this piece in public. I think I corrected fine the errors mentioned by riga, i've deleted that strange silence, played at a constant tempo, even with in pianos and fortes. I also corrected those bars 20-23, playing stronger the LH. The only thing I sow that I did bad, was a few missnotes, and a killing silence moment, which I did couse that was my first time on public, so I was very nervius. It happend on bars 25 aprox. so what I did was starting all over the second part. But after all I still get a lot of aplauses at the end . Here I send a partial recording of me at live. Hope you like it

PD: hola a toda la comunidad habla hispana!!! creia q era el unico...

Very nice, and good technically, VERY good for a few months.  The "strange silence" happens a lot - just keep playing those two bars over and over until you stop hesitating.

What it needs and is lacking is dynamics.  Pay attention to those pianos and fortes.  The make a big difference in any piece and in this one more than most.  If I could make one suggestion: I get the feeling that you are learning the notes first and adding in the dynamics later.  Learn the dynamics when you learn the piece and put them in right from the beginning.

Well, you are right about that. But I dont think that is a bad thing, I mean, if you have zero first time reading, I think you just can't add the dynamics while you're practicing the piece for the first time... Btw are you talking about my first posted song or the last at live? Couse I think that in the last one I defeated that mistake of the strange silence. Thanks for your coments, still expecting some about the last one. Thanks and bye.
