Chopin Nocturne 32/1

[philippa]

This was recorded in November, I was preparing for an exam in March, so it's not at the standard that it is now. But still, I'd appreciate people's comments

i thought it was pretty swell, a better piano is always good..and you're the person who said my fantasie impromptu was awesome weren't you? 

[philippa]

I would have played my upright but it needed tuning

And yep! it was awesome!

Hi. It´s nice overall, I would just sugest to work more on evenness on the notes. specialy on Some of the ornaments it gets a little messed up. sometimes you rush it a bit, I would like to hear all the notes very clearly. You might work on the second part, specialy the doble notes about 1:22 and the trill on 1:16. I woul like to listen to it in a better instrument, anyway.

This is a very nice piece.  I have posted a version of it here some time ago. Didn´t got much repplies though... I like this piece a lot, but it seems most people ´round here don´t care very much about it. 

Here is the link anyway, if you want to take a look at it. And critique, if you like to!

Btw, notice how in my version, the last chord changes to a major chord instead of the minor one you did. There are diferent editions fo this music. I´m not shure which one is the most acurate, but anyway, I love the last chord as a Major chord, so I did it that way.

Thanks Yeah I love this piece. It's really beautiful, and really subtle. I've always had a problem rushing when I play, no idea why. I need to chill  I'll go check yours out now.

I ask a polish professor about this and he told me that they are both correct. He said that it was changed by chopin himself. so i think it's just up to you if you want to play it major or minor.

That's really interesting.

I'm gonna practice it both ways now
