Ballade in G minor Op 23 - Chopin
on: December 10, 2009, 09:15:16 PM
Hellu! Ive had an on and off relationship with this ballade, and i figured id share it with the community here :) I know it isnt perfect but its so fun to play this piece so its a real challenge to sit down and practise those insecure bars.

Feel free to comment!


Oh and in the end i didnt know what to do with my hands, so the result is me looking like an dumbass. So if you dont like the playing just skip to the last seconds, its fun to watch ;)

Actually, I really liked it. You've done a credible job on this piece. Not perfect, but good enough for my liking.

This is one of my favorite Chopin pieces. I've wanted to start tackling this piece for awhile now and you've inspired me to give it a go.

Thanks for posting this.

Good job!  I 'played' this 2 years ago, and I remember a few parts other than the Coda that gave me loads of trouble.  You played them all really well  8)

I want to come back and actually learn it properly, because I definitely did not spend enough time perfecting it.
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

Really nice, Adapa!  You play the ballade with character.  Keep on with piano. :)
