I watched the video of the Carmen variations. That was some very sexy playing. Good work.

[TheJemboy]

many thanks !!

[Nana_Ama]

lovely

[donjuan]

I tried to watch your video of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6, but it cut out during the octaves part - the media player couldnt continue to play the file and it crashed.  I was really getting into it too.. although, the camera angle and sound quality arent very good.  Was it really echoing that badly?

thanks but i'm very bad in english sorry i'dont understand your question...
kinda bpms ?? 

[Goldberg]

TheJemboy: he's talking about "beats per minute"--he wants to know how fast you play those nice legato scales on the guitar, in terms of metronome markings.

Anyway, I must say I liked your stuff. You are quite good on both the instruments, but it seems like (to me) that maybe you've been playing guitar a little longer. It's not that your piano playing lacks anything especially, but those guitar videos were pretty awesome, particularly for a non-guitarist like myself.

Also, that Godowsky etude really is a b*tch, and even though you did a good overall job on it, it would definitely be worth it to go back in there and work more heavily on individual trouble sections to avoid any breaks in continuity.

You did a great job on the Hungarian Rhapsody, though, and my favourite piano video was of that Volodos/Glinka piece.

[goalevan]

very well done, I enjoyed the videos. let us know if you post any more : P

[super_ardua]

How difficult is the Chopin-Godwsky Etude....I might try it (I once tried the op.10 no.3 LH).

The recordings are very good.

[TheJemboy]

Thanks for all,

For Guitar Légato stuff,I play 130 with  6notes/beat.

I thinks that i post more,but now i work for record me Total Original study from chopin op.10,op.25, it's long to practice,and record there is 24 study !!! but i thinks that for christmas the 24study will be on my site.
I think that i can in next movie perhaps the Volodos turkish march transcriptions or another horowitz i don't know for the moment...

Best regards for all

Very nice work Alexandre. Impressive. How long have you been playing?

[faulty_damper]

Hi Alexandre,
I noticed that you have a tan line that starts at your wrist; your hands are pale by comparison.  That can only mean a couple of things:

1) you wear short sleeve shirts while wearing gloves
2) you keep your hands in your pockets while wearing short sleeve shirts
3) you are a cyclist!

Do you ride a Look?

LOL


But i don't have A Tan line that starts,i'm not a cyclist but i enjoy swimming pool...
But i think that the Hungary N°2 is more difficult for me that the N°6,because the 6 it's just octaves part that be difficult but i remenber before play the  6 in the church i practice 2Hours of Octave/day in fast tempo for have The resistance and i play hungary after...
The 2 is hard to play,the end is too fast and we've got more resistance but cziffra can play the 2 why not me... ? LOL....
I think that my first part of record's hungary 2 is not bad but i'm not satisfied of the part N2...
I record another version pehaps in the future...
But i've next record hungary N°13,Chopin's Scherzo N°4 & Boléro and and and ....
Volodos turkish march on vidéo LOL for the fun ...

I can't get any of the videos to download.

I can't get any of the videos to download.

(right click and save target as...)

[Goldberg]

What I've been doing (because I'm running out of space on my hard drive) is just copying the shortcut and then pasting it in WMP by going to file/copy URL (or something like that...)--that always works, and you don't really have to download it.

Anyway, Jemboy, keep up the great work! I look forward to the other recordings.

[glBelgedin]

Jemboy,

You wouldn't be interested in purchasing this CD, would you? https://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005AG74/qid=1098520393/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_2_7/171-9503334-7810620

Sorry but i don't like Brigitte Engerer and I've Horowitz and Rouvier for moussorgsky

[glBelgedin]

Hehe, I had to try =) Do either Horowitz or Rouvier play "Une nuit sur le mont Chauve"?  I'm trying to get a recording of that for piano.

By the way, I apologize for hijacking your thread, when I noticed you were french I had to ask

[chopiabin]

What program do you use to open the files? I saved the links, but Windows mediaplayer won't play them.

[glBelgedin]

I used WinAmp

[Magnus]

I got it to work. I had to try some times 

[andru]

...by the way: Does anybody have the Glinka Variations in pdf or something like this???
...this piece has enchanted me 

As a little present to all I'm offering a site with many horowitz scores (8 different versions of the carmen variations and many more)

https://horowitzscores.tripod.com/

@ jemboy: I'm not sure which version you play, but I'm sure it's not on this site (I couldn't find the end of your version in one of this scores). Maybe you can tell me which one do you play???

Greez, Andru

[mosis]

Your octave technique is very impressive. How did you go about learning and how long did it take you to master those very fast octaves?

[Ludvig_Van_Me]

Great work Jemboy, very impressive


I am looking for videos of people playing in similer video style as Jemboys, I am looking for people playing some Beethoven's sonata pieces such as 'Pathetique' 'Apassionata' 'Hammerklavier' and 'Waldstein'


Any help will be most appreaciated.


Thx

Hi,

For the End of "Carmen" i've play a meddley of 1978 version and 1967 version,but the last octave i've been change for fun...

Hi,

I don't Know,For me octave is not dificult to play fast,but for example it's for me more difficult to play mozart sonata that Liszt "Mazeppa"...
But Liszt play 2hours of Octave/Day i thinks that if you play scale,arpégio,or Hanon Exercize (why not)all with Octave you've a big octave's technique but the piano's technique is not the most difficult for me  i thinks that musicality is most difficult...

Don't forget,for Listen Mp3 "right click,save targert as"
I hope that you will have a few minutes to sign my "livre d'or" (Guest book) in order to encourage me, few people don't  take time to do it and that returns to me often sad.
I would keep you informed of the news

I havent seen them yet - im at work!
but what did you use to record your files so you could upload to your website?

[SteinwayTony]

You play with a lot of tension in your wrists and arms!  Are you currently studying with a teacher?  He/she has a responsbility to point this out to you.

Also, I'm not sure if you notice, but your videos, at least the Godowsky as it was the only one I watched, was not spliced very discreetly at all.

Your playing is excellent, though!

(Vous pouvez répondre en français, si vous voulez, et je vous comprendrai.)

[DarkWind]

You play with a lot of tension in your wrists and arms!

I was just about to mention this! Also, free up your shoulders, it seems like you barely used them at all. Otherwise, fantastic performances! Incredible Carmen Variations!

Thanks...it's not easy to play in a very BAD PIANO lol...

[Hmoll]

Thank you for posting your site.
Don't take this the wrong way because I mean this as honest and constructive criticism.
You have pretty good facility, but  the performances are overall uninteresting, and not very musical. You seem to be struggling a lot technically, and have a lot of tension.  You say this is because of the piano.
To put your best foot forward, you might consider posting some pieces that are more within your technical abilities. That way you would be able to play more musically, and the performances would be more polished. After all, you want to show yourself in the best light possible, don't you?

[lenny]

he is simply playing music too advanced to perform well at this stage

more speed and dexterity is required

[chromatickler]

more speed and dexterity is required

HARSH!

[lenny]

he has the speed and dexterity to play the notes(albeit barely)

but to play these works really well, you need more technique then that - to be in complete control and to sound articulated

however, its probably only a matter of time if he keeps practicing, he may get a volodos-level technique

[SteinwayTony]

I'm still waiting for the elusive Lenny Debut Album.

[lenny]

what does that have to do with anything?

[willcowskitz]

he has the speed and dexterity to play the notes(albeit barely)

This is bullcrap. If he's got something for granted, its dexterity. Using it optimally is another thing, but even so it seems like technicality isn't one of his biggest concerns. Performing to a microphone or a camera can differ a lot from playing directly to yourself or an audience, which I believe is one of main reasons to why his playing sounds "dry" and emotionally distant most of the time, but to me it looks like it'd be no big of a deal to complement these pieces. Obviously he realizes the pieces are not ready, or he wouldn't be so eager to receive feedback - but they're well on their way.
