Chopin Prelude no. 4 and 20

on: December 09, 2011, 10:25:24 AM

Goodmorning everyone,

I just recorded these two beautiful little pieces. The pieces were played on a Bechstein grand. I hope you like it. Criticism is always welcome!

Kind regards, Steven

I can see that you are adding expressions. I can't help you much for prelude no6 but 20 I can. Must start very loudly for the first 2 bars then crescendo until the middle of bar 4 where you die down a bit. In the calm section you did well. I start piano and decrescendo to PPP. IN bar 8 Maybe come back Forte then in b9 play from P to even PPPP if your piano allows. Bar 12 very loudly. In the 4th chord of bar 3 you played a wrong note. Iin the right hand instead of playing an E you played an e flat.
For prelude in B minor maybe you can swell the arpeggios i.e crescendo. Generally good however.
