Chopin Ballade No. 2, Op 38. [VIDEO]
on: October 11, 2012, 02:01:21 PM
I just started working on this ballade 2 weeks ago. I decided to start a thread here to keep track of my progress. I've learned about 4 pages so far and decided to try and play it at speed yesterday. Its nowhere ready to be played at speed but I did it anyway to get an idea about the bigger picture sound. I've also discovered that my rate of learning has improved vastly over the past couple of years. I've probably spent an average of 30 mins every day on this piece for 2 weeks. I used to be much slower. The camera mic tends to mask some of the dynamics. Got to figure out how to connect a zoom device to the mic input of the camera..
