i found a video: my 1st recital (2003) - hahaha!

[crazy for ivan moravec]

hi guys! i just came across a video in my archive which i almost forgot about. since i started playing the piano at 14 years old, this was my first experience of a solo recital ever, year 2003 (20 years old then), very memorable. so i decided to put it in youtube, just bits and pieces. i call this my "wild year" because all i ever did was unleash the fire, haha, and never attempted to control myself when playing. this included the shosta 2nd concerto which i posted earlier. in this video you might see those "flying hands" which could have caused most of the missed notes, hehehe. in my 2nd and 3rd recitals for the bachelors, i think i greatly minimized those useless movements... THANKS TO PIANOSTREET.COM friends!

comment and suggestions are most welcome!

serious me- bach partita in am

cute and fun- filipino folk song arranged for piano in tarantella style

technique falterng, hehe- moszkowski etude in Ab

still faltering technique- liszt la leggierrezza

probable cause of my tendonitis a month after that performance: "no pain no gain work out" hahaha- rach etude in D

playful- haydn

from my 2nd recital (the program of which included the suggestion diabolique i posted before)
ultra modern, i so hated learning this. 30% BS, haha- altered images (2005)

I've only listented to 2 of them so far.  The Bach is quite lovely, I hear you putting a lot of attention to shape your phrasings.  Quite enjoyable.



Altered Images is wikidly awsome!!!!!!!!!!!    I'd like to hear you play this when you are more enthuasitic about this music.  Can you give more info about the composer?  My suggestion about this one is to try to find and bring out hidden motifs, maybe make some scale passages a bit less formulaic, and when you need flat-non-emotional rhythm to really feel the groove.  Also there seems to be a lot of crash bang chords here, in this idom of music don't be afraid to literally hammer the piano. 

Would you mind posting the score?

about the score, ill try to find a scanner with one of my friends and scan it. but ill be out of town for a week, so i might not be able to do it now. but put in mind that approximately 20-30% of what i played was BS. hehehe. i rushed it for a national competition, it was the compulsory work.

Are you sure you were 20 years old then??
You seem much younger. 16 or something.

But anyway it was great for your first recital. I wish my first recital was like that

[crazy for ivan moravec]

how i wish i was only 16 and played that way. sigh! such youthful exhuberance...

but yeah, i was already 20 at that time.

i really liked that filipino song.  you have a lot of personality.  how did it go with the temple university application?

[crazy for ivan moravec]

Great job "crazy for ivan moravec"!

You're obviously quite skilled and talented pianist - looking forward to see and hear more performance in the future.

I really enjoyed your playing. You seemed so relaxed, and happy when you play.
