My very first concert
on: May 02, 2012, 08:35:22 AM
Hi everyone!

It had to happen one day ^^
I played as the first part at my teacher's concert (he was playing with a tenor singing Opera pieces). It was the first time I played in public but it was a wonderful experience :) Even if I was quite affraid to play in front of 80 people!

Her are the videos, hope you'll like it :)

very good playing, I would prefer a little slower for the moonlight, remeber there is no winds when when wrote this ;D.
I like dthe Shuman better, because he wrote in the key I liked.

Next time please use a tripod to do the recording and it only cost you 30$. At this stage, I get some motion sickness.I think some one is holding the camera and half drunked. Who was it....

lol!
(I mean it, I really laughed!)
It was my teacher holding the camera. I'll tell him not to drink to much beer before his concerts ^^
Thanks for your comment :) I used to play the sonata more slowly but then I listened to Kempff's interpretation and I found it better when played a bit faster :)

Congratulations on a fine debut.  :D

I also prefer the moonlight just a little (but not too much) slower. If you are going to play at that speed, I think you need to up the dynamic contrasts a little as well.  A matter of personal taste, though.

Thank you :)
Actually, I usually don't play it that fast but I was quite stressed out by the public thing ^^
