My First Audition Post-Scriabin Etude No12 Op.8

[c0nfused]

Hi everybody,

I recently got a copy of the recording of a small concert I participated in last year, and since it was the first time to have myself recorded live, I thought to post something here. The sound is not really good, the piano was not good(...) and I am not sure if I was any good either. But, you know, it's my first recording, I am happy about it...

Anyway, any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

I think you were really, really good! A very passionate interpretation, and you shape the lines beautifully. I especially like your wide range of dynamics and how you build it up and take it down. Given the recording quality I cannot give more specific comments, so I'll simply leave it with the praise! 

Edit: Well, I have one specific suggestion -- write your blog in English...

I agree with the above poster, I really like it also. Dynamics are great, emotional and extremely well executed. It is all the more inspiring, as this is a piece I would like to play someday, and may be starting soon.
Keep up the good work!

Hi confused,

You delivered a fine performance!  Bravo!  You played with excellent clarity, attention to dynamics, and captured the emotional essence of the piece very well. 

The piano, though, sounded one step away from piano heaven.  Hopefully you'll encounter a far nicer instrument next time. 

Keep up the good work!

A big thanks to all of you for you good comments.

The piano was indeed a problem, and the recording was not good, but I am glad that you liked some aspects of my playing. You know, I can't do much better than that at the moment, and this etude was really difficult for me, and I spent A LOT of hours studying it, so it's nice to hear that your effort produced some good results.

Anyway, any more specific comments about anything good or bad that you have listened (or have tried to listen...) would be appreciated

Thanks again.

It is all the more inspiring, as this is a piece I would like to play someday, and may be starting soon.
Keep up the good work!

It's a great piece that you really enjoy playing. You are going to love the left hand
