Piano Street Magazine:
The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Beethoven: Pathetique first mov.
on: September 19, 2011, 08:20:39 PM
Hello. Another Work very much in progress. I haven't played this for very long, and I've played many other pieces, so there are some parts which obviously aren't done yet, and some parts where I just screw up for no reason.

(And I'm asking nicely, I actually don't want a special person to comment, and she knows who she is)

Any other, you're very much welcome to say whatever you want :)

And oh, I didn't have time to record the other pieces on that piano, cause I got kicked out (yeah, that's how it works..), and the other piano missed some strings, sooo...

very nice - you got the piece under your fingers, it only requires some polishing. I'm actually also working on this piece. Which part did you find the most difficult in the first movement (if any) ? Also may I ask how long you've been playing piano?

 peace

I've played classical piano for... maybe 6 years? Since I was 16, and now I'm 22, so yeah, 6 years. Before that I'd played, for 2 years, some random stuff, which wasn't really technically or musicaly demanding. Ofc, this is far from the most difficult piece I've played...

The place I found most difficult was probably the first hand crossing part. I had some problems hitting that low B-flat...

New recordning will probably come the following week. Maybe then also the next movements.
