Liszt Video

[cz4p32]

Well besides the few glaring "stupid" finger slip mistakes I think this is a much better performance of Liszts beautiful piece, Ave Maria - The Bells of Rome.

Please, comments, critisism, praise, etc...

I think the most obvious thing to focus on would be to separate the accompaniement from the melody. You often play the accompaniment louder then the melody, wich is pointless. Try to think of the notes as layers, with the melody as the most important factor, the bass voice as the second, and the middle accompanying voices as simple filling. Sort of in the background. Also, you tend to blend the harmonies a bit to much with the pedal, change it more often. Try to experiment with half-pedal, sometimes it really makes a difference.

Otherwise, i like your sence of timing, although dynamically you tend to get a bit carried away. I hear you want to create great crescendos, but if you start the crescendo at forte, then there isnt much to go at.

I think you could make a very nice recording, with a little bit of work

Good luck!
