Chopin: Ballade no 3, A flat-major op. 47
on: November 10, 2012, 07:21:35 PM
Hi again.

Here´s the 3rd ballade. Recorded in the same hall at my school, and with the same equipment as the other ballades.
Personally I like the recordings of the 2nd and 3rd the most. Probably because those were the ones I recorded first in those evenings I did record. I hope you enjoy them anyhow! :)

Very intelligent playing. I only listened to the first 20 seconds before i had to leave, but i can tell you now that there isn't much to say. Of course I'm sure you'd rather have a different piano haha, but there is a nice clear tone that reminds me of zimerman. On the other hand I hate that guy, so you might not take it as a compliment.
Oh right play play the slower parts faster and the faster parts slower.
And the beginning measure should give the idea of a opening flower, if you've ever seen those nature videos with sped up time
