[VIDEO] Bach P&F d min BK II, and Chopin Etude Op. 25 No. 8

recording session November 12, 2011

Bach (first and only take)



Chopin (take 2)


the sound is compressed in these videos, but I think it is better when you select "480p" as your resolution.

 :)  You make playing the piano look easy.   I liked your interpretations very much - quite gentle in the Chopin.

these too are old pieces, I started the the Chopin this summer. I had to work very hard to make it sound sotto voce. it is easy just to rip through it FF, but to play it quietly, that, is the real difficulty.

I was criticized for my fast tempo in the Bach Prelude, but I still think that my choice of tempo works best for the music. This is why I still play it at this speed.
