Hi, my name is Cloedice. I'm 13 and I'll have a piano exam (ABRSM) next month.
Please give me some advice for this two pieces:

-Scarlattti: Sonata Kp 9 in D minor
-Chopin: Moderato
Music is the expression of the movement of the waters, the play of curves described by changing breezes. ~Claude Debussy<br /><br />Music is the silence between the notes. ~Claude Debussy

They both sound good to me. The recording quality unfortunately makes it difficult to judge nuances, but overall I like your performances. I hope you do well on your exam! I'm taking Grade 8 in November, and I haven't even finished learning my pieces yet...  :-[
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

Bright, lively playing on the Scarlatti, Cloedice.  You might watch the dynamics.  Good job! :)
