Beethoven Op27 Presto Agitato
on: January 31, 2012, 08:27:28 AM
Hi everone,

I've started playing the piano again, I was busy with study.

This piece is still very much work in progress, but I'll be performing it this October fingerz crossed.

Well, maybe by October.  You do know it's still too slow.  You could perform it at this speed, but the excitement is missing.  It's monotone with little variety in tone color.  For example, the ascending arpeggios are piano with a subito forte on the chords.  You play it all forte mezzo forte.  These colors should be instilled now, at a slower tempo, and then speed up.  You've got the time to do it.  But you have to really start over again at a slow speed and create all those different sonorous levels.

Birba is spot on with his feedback.   

  I think you do have the technique to play this well and more quickly by October -good luck with it.

That is a wonderful piano you are playing there btw!

You seem to have the notes mastered very well, only a couple of small flubs. However there is a lack of rhythm which makes everything disjointed. Sometimes your hands are playing at different speeds which contributes to notes sounding wrong since they are not sounding at the right time. There also is a lack of dynamics but I would expect that for a work in progress. You'll have this performable by October no problem.

Well thank you for listening.

Yes it will take a life time to do it some justice, but for October I'd like not to be Boooed of stage.

Ciao. :)

considering a work in progress, I think you will play this very good. in some places you already done it,  better then me.  So by October, I believe you can make it. good luck!
