[prongated]

Live recording from the same January recital. I promise, this is the very last of my audition room spamm...posting! At least for now...

When you play like this, you can upload as much as you want. I really like your tempo. Some missed notes, but nothing one notice if you don't play the piano.

Some minor things, like a bit too short notes for my taste, but that doesn't really matter.

Though, the ending was a bit too much, imo. Too.. hammering, kind of, or too much noise.

But other than that - really well played

Wow, I really enjoyed your performance !!
 Although I can't say I have the most expert opinion.... I do agree with pianisten about the ending, and the missed notes, but they really weren't very distracting.
Anyways... Great job!! I'd love to hear more of your playing !

I really like the playfulness of your interpretation.

i love the tempo you took, you can hear every single note and it rings like a bell. to me, it was all very wonderful though at points i would have liked it maybe a little bit faster (i know it says allegretto and it's probably just what i'm used to hearing)

Hi prongated,

Bravo!  This is a very impressive performance.  I totally enjoyed listening.  You made the piece sparkle.

Thanks mate! I'll look into those short notes again - probably need a touch more short pedal! And the ending...wow, either the recording level was set up too high, or I didn't realise that's how much I pounded the piano! I did have fun doing it though, that's for sure...

Anyways... Great job!! I'd love to hear more of your playing !

Cheers! Well, there're a few more that I recently uploaded here

Thanks! Yeah, I rather like this tempo...it's more fun and not-so-stressful to play at this speed and it does mean the "piu animato" ending doesn't have to be so frantic!

Thanks for listening! Glad you enjoyed it!

O.o interesting...I think I did hear Yundi Li's studio recording on Youtube once, but aside from the fact it was a sort of music video and there is no wrong note, I frankly don't remember anything else!

In any case, I am a full-time music student (and well, of course I'm hoping I'm a talent in disguise! Who doesn't? Haha!) and I did work on this quite extensively in the summer, also with help from some really good piano teachers. In a way, after all that, it's slightly embarassing the way it turned out!

But, glad you liked it

Hey there! I was hoping to bump into someone playing la campanella and tada, here I'm

So yeah anyway, I really liked the way you interpreted the first and second major variation of the song, like what some mentioned above, its really playful and I like how crisp and clear the ringing is

maybe you could add more dynamic variations and anticipation towards the end of the piece? especially when you approach the last few pages. I was hoping that it would end with a more POW feeling at the end, cause I really really love how you begin the piece.

But nevertheless, you are doing a great job! and yeah it reminds me I've to work harder on this piece now. haha all the best and yeap!

hello!

I must have listened to the La Campanella hundreds of times
for over 3 decades now and you play it so well!!  In fact, I feel
there is this gentle quality in the way you interpret it which
reminds me of the version of  Valentina Igoshina .... even your
finale has that gentleness.  BRAVO!!!!
