Three old recordings of me (rach, bach, beeth)
on: June 18, 2006, 01:59:04 AM
I recorded these one year into playing.  I had no teacher at the time, so I'm sure you can see the mistakes and bad habits, and I also had a weak technique due to lack of experience.  Either way, since I found these on my computer, I figured it would make sense to post them for critiquing.  I've gotten better though, I'll post new material as soon as I can!

Track 1 is Rach Op. 16 No. 4, Moment Musicaux in Em.  This was way too hard for me at the time, but I think I handled it decently =)

Track 2 is the A minor Partita's 1st movement.

Track 3 is mov. 2 of Pathetique.

I would like to note as well that the piano I played on was SOO hard, it was a chore just to play a chord, or let alone the runs in Track 1, so that's partly why it sounds bangy and why I make so many mistakes.
