Ravel - Concerto for the left hand
on: July 04, 2012, 02:52:14 AM
Played this for a competition today - as you´ll notice, the pianist playing the orchestra part skips a few places. The sound isn´t that great, sorry about that.

Why are you such a good pianist?  Everything you post is of something crazy difficult.

I'm so jealous lol.   :-[

Might be worth mentioning I first started looking at this piece maybe five years ago. I´ve never worked on it for longer periods of time, but a month of preparing seemed enough to at least get most things right this time.

haha, not sure about that but thanks. feedback anyone? listening back I felt that the march should´ve been slower, it felt somewhat rushed. And I noticed I was actually pushing the tempo in a couple of almost unplayable passages that I had been trying to get up to tempo without much luck for a long time :P
