Improved Chopin Ballade 3, plus Ballade 2 (no extra cost!)

on: March 02, 2010, 02:17:11 AM

Rather faster and better performance of Ballade 3. Some work to be done with Ballade 2 particularly around the trills, but it is much closer to "usual" performance speed. Again...terrible recording equipment.

EDIT:

Wait a second, that style of playing the Ballades sounds awfully familiar...
