Relook over the music at 1:06 - 1:10 (and 4:42 - 4:45) and 1:45

You should look at getting your piano tuned in the near future.

I think the main problems are in the pedaling.  At times, everything seems to be blended together and different harmonies are mixed up.  Now, this may or may not be your fault depending on the piano and how the pedal works.  Just because the sheetmusic says "Ped", it doesnt mean hold it to the floor and not release until to see the *.  It simply means you should use it intelligently.

You should work at making the decrescendo more gradual- I thought you were playing much too loudly up until the last 5 or so seconds.

How long have you been playing?
It's not too bad, but the piano is really out of tune  

[bachmaninov]

BAH! As a judge myself... ive heard this piece so much... I can tell you exactly what you need to work on! Overall VERY GOOD!

-The middle section really needs to BREATH more... You must really exadurate the dynamics in this area so that it doesn't get too dull... Stress the fact that this is chopin your playing, and a very "romantic" piece... Add Rubato and things that would really make it colourful! Also in the middle section it is important to keep the left hand as quiet as you can.. and really let the melody flow... it sounds very pleasant if done this way!

-You have really got to get off that pedal and show off the intense articulation that is required for this piece... especially in the beginning!

-Finally make sure you don't rush in some areas... Think before you change the tempo from the Fast and Slow sections, and phrase endings...

Overall very good! Keep it up!

Well done and congratulations on your hard work.  

[goalevan]

well done

[goansongo]

A great accomplishment!  Even though many people do attempt to try this piece, very few actually play it that well.  You're almost there though.  Just like the early post, you should look over the notes you're playing starting at 01:06.  I like the way you've stretched out the notes beginning at the 00:22 and 4:02.  I don't know if your piano is out of tune or you're just playing the wrong notes, but look over 4:42 too.  It sounds like you need to play a few notes higher.  
Hmm.. lighten up on the pedal just a bit so you can hear the notes clearer.  And one last thing, if you speed it up just a little bit more, it'll sound really nice.

I think it is very good ^_^ good job!!
Some point, you have to release the pedal a bit because it sounds too messy and the melody won't be clear.

He plays it incorrectly too.

i dont fink my piano is out of tune its me.

I happen to know the problem is not with you.  Get your piano tuned.  What happens is, you get used to playing on a Honky Tonk, and you will not be able to tell it is out of tune.  Tune it every year!!  

[chanamet]

if you speed it up just a little bit more, it'll sound really nice.

Are you serious, GoAnSoNGo? I think he played at a very good speed. However I think he need to take care the left hand a bit. Practice left hand with out pedal and no or slightly rubato. He might need to bring it out to get an effect of 4 against 3. Then try to shape the left hand like you wheeling back and forth.

But first of all, his piano need to be tuned as soon as possible.

[goansongo]

Yes, I know.  He plays it really well.  But I was only suggesting that if he speeds up his right hand just a little bit more, in certain parts like from 00:09 to 00:11 and 00:15 to 00:16.  The right hand just lags bit a little bit.  If you can play that beginning part of the melody a little faster, it would flow really nicely.  I'm not saying speed up like crazy, but just a bit.  And 1:02 - 1:03 just needs to be smoothed out a little too.  But overall, it was an excellent recording.  Especially since you've only been playing for a year!  GEez!!!  I may sound a bit too hypocritical, but it's because I've been listening to your recording A LOT.  I really like it.  I like these kinds of "amateur" recordings in general.  Anyone else have any?  

[ChopinLoverInPA]

wow, you've only been playing a year?? You make me want to quit playing   :-/

Seriously, your piano could use a tuning, but otherwise well done!

[mh88]

if you want to hear a great recording of this piece...check on Yundi Li, yes there's been much talk about him and some is well, overrated....but he's awesome at this one

i watched the Tzvi Erez video and I have to say that although it's impressive to see someone play it...I found it rather boring and dull...he didn't seem to really be into the music or what was going on, instead it seemed like he was just sitting and playing at tempo with no emotion, but still....the guy can play

[Tash]

well it's bloody good considering you've been playing for only a year (i'm playing it too and you're probably better than me and i've been playing like 11 year!though fantasie's only been played for less than a year now but still omg!)
i would think that the last page should be softer, cos it's pp, like still bring out the LH melody but make it quieter so there's some nice contrast to what you've just played
