Hi,
Would you please offer constructive criticism on my performance of this Chopin polonaise?


I was 14 years old at the time.
Thanks !!!  ;)

A lot of this is very beautifully and sensitively played, especially in the tender melodic parts! In other parts you seem to feel a bit stiff and uncomfortable, especially in the introducing forte passage, and always when it returns. All in all that's my general impression: you are making very beautiful music when it gets melodic and soft, but in the marcato parts it seems a bit unfree, like you are just concentrating on doing nothing (especially rhythmically) wrong. Don't worry about this, it's all correct! :)
 I think it's good for you to play a lot of repertoire and perform it, and gather experience, and get more self-confident :)
