"Arabesque" Number 1 - Debussy - Feel free to critique

on: May 22, 2012, 08:22:06 PM

Feel free to give an honest critique, don't hold back, you won't hurt my feelings I just want to improve and honest feedback will let me know what I am doing right and wrong.

Thanks!

Well, I am just an amateur, but my honest critique is that I really enjoyed the performance.

I liked your fast tempo, and you brought out the melody pretty well. At times I thought there might be a bit too much pedal, but that's really a minor thing. Also some passages could deserve more dynamics.

Thanks for sharing this!
