Schubert Op.120 DV 664 2nd Movement

[pthebig]

Hello,
today I want to show you the Play, that I learn at the moment.
I've been playing it for 3 weeks now, so it doesn't sound as good as I want it

I know that there are many mistakes, but just listen and comment...



By the way, i have recorded it with audacity.
I've got an Technics Digital Piano, so I used Line-Out there and Line-In on the computer.

I think this goes to show, "easy" Schubert is not always "easy" to get across.  I don't know how old you are or what kind of musical background you have.  What bothers me the most is the way you play those repeated chords.  They are not staccato.  They have a slur over them indicating they're a type of non-legato.  I would say the secret to this whole movement, in fact, is the way you play these chords.  They're not static.  They should carry you to the next measure.  You play them exactly the same.  Use a touch of pedal, a slight crescendo, or diminuendo, or both.  And a bit faster.  Maybe 72=quarter note.  At any rate, get out of this cage you've put yourself in, following strictly the written note and try to make something of them.  Think of measures as your common denominator.  Not the quarter note.  Play just the melody with both hands, using your imagination, as much pedal as you wish to make it legato, and find the spirit of this little gem.
