[sunshine_keys]

Partly playing with the sheets and partly follow the performance of yumira from YouTube.I think that it would be a bit too boring of simply following the sheet.

Maybe my hands are too stiff :0)
I'm always practicing and try to perform like that

If you want it to sound like his performance then it's gonna need some work. imo. for one, I noticed that your grace notes at 22 secs were way to slow..they need to be much faster. and then starting at 32.. that does not belong there. at all. that's not until later. I don't know if you want it to sound just like his or not. but those are just a few things. and I did notice that it seems like you were playing the beginning a little fast. I would slow it down a little and play it with more...emotion.

Really thanks for your comments. I ain't having lots of chance to practice on a piano :0) I only got an aged keyboard at home. Anyway no excuses for me.

[sunshine_keys]

you're welcome..I hope I didn't sound to harsh. lol Overall I thought it sounded good I might post a vid of my performance if I can get a good one

I like your fresh and uncomplicated approach and I like how much feeling you put into your playing . I have sneaked a bit into your other videos, and I think firstly, yes you seem a bit stiff in your hands, secondly I'd recommend to put more attention to the rhythm, and last but not least, try to learn to handle different voices and layers, as well fingering-wise, but first of all conceptually, in the sense of getting able to discern what is "soprano" "alto" "tenor" and "bass" in a piece like the Pathetique 2nd mvt. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for you comments and I am working hard on it! Should I keep trying new pieces or master the current pieces first?

I think that the answer might be in between your two options. If you haven't already got a teacher you'll need one, because many of the basic skills and knowledge can't be taught over the internet. You have good fingers and you express a lot of musicality in your playing, but I notice a lack of basic rhythmical, technical and aural training, which, of course, is learnable

I admire your creative approach in blending the sheet music and Yiruma concert version. The speed was appropriate and sounded really under control under your fingers so well done. There is something I'm not sure about but want to point out. Towards the middle there were groups of ntoes that sounded 'louder' than notes before and after. But IMO that is something you don't really need to worry about because I'm sure no one will notice and you did a great job anyway.

Thanks for your comments! Maybe I just wanted to make more contrast when I'm playing :0) For sure I'll remark it for improvements.

Waiting for more comments!
