Recording session: July 17, 2009

[aewanko]

NOTES:
I did not use the pedal because the damn cord split in half.
Apologies for the awkward playing. I'm very nervous when I make recordings.

All Bach program:

O Mensch, bewein dein sunde gross, BWV 622 (Arranged by Max Reger)
Prelude and Fugue in B-flat minor, from the Well Tempered Clavier (Book I)
Aria, from the Goldberg Variations, BWV 988
Air, from the Orchestral Suite, BWV 1068 (Arranged by Alexander Siloti)

Have you listened to Glenn Gould's recordings of the Goldberg Variations.  They are very helpful.

Curious about the Reger, will have a listen tomorrow when i'm at home!

While there was nothing disastrous, the pieces could certainly use work. I would recommend choosing two you really enjoy and focus mainly on those then later move on to the other two. Make sure you are really comfortable with the notes (you kind of hesitate sometimes). I trick to not get nervous while recording is to just leave it on and play the piece as many times as you want, then piece the parts you want together (I'm assuming you have an editing program, but if you don't, Audacity is a great free one). Don't be nervous! You're only playing for yourself

I think that if you put a lot of work into it, they could really turn out to be something.
