waldstein sonata 3rd movement

[tds]

i can't complain about the piano, coz i was using the best one i could possibly find in the province. though i will upgrade the video quality later this week. it is too small a compression.

comments are welcome

it's a challenge to give a recital on an upright piano in a hall of 600 people. not to mention that piano had not been tuned in the last five years. anyone has performed under similar condition? teguh

Interesting solution to the octave glissando part, although i probably wouldnt lhave left out the last octaves in the left hand. Was it impossible to do a glissando on that piano?

No, that's a valid method- I don't think it would have to do with the piano. (although I know it is hard to do if the piano has an action at all  )  As a matter of fact, my teacher solves that glissando problem the exact same way.

I liked your playing. Though, the audio was a bit hard to hear now and then. I look forward to the upgraded video.

Not bad at all considering the condition of the piano, venue and atmosphere - all not particularly suited for a recital like this!

very nice solution for the oct part (even i do ALL strict octaves with no gliss, KOJI style), but it sure is a nice way to solve the problem when encountering a crappy piano.

I really like this video, great job.

I liked it, despite poor video quality. The only thing I can be critical about is the tempo in the Prestissimo part. It is too unstable for my taste, for example the octaves in 8ths in RH (before the triplet section) are too fast comparing to the preceding 16ths. The same applies to the very final bars. Or perhaps this accelerando was intentional and resulted from getting very excited about the energetic ending? (This happens very often in recitals, which might indicate it is not a fully concious process. I would say we never do such things, or at least not to such extent, during our practice sessions.)

Is your way of executing big chords just a part of technique or is it also intended for visual expression?

Anyway, this is a very good job after all. I saw many people having a lot of trouble with the triplet part before the Prestissimo - it must be very hard to play evenly and control sound. You made it look nice and easy.

Thanks for sharing.
