I'll get better at playing...you know I was never taught technique at all? Just the music and how to read it good...I'm with teachers now who are technique extrordinaires. So my technique will get better.  I compose good because the music came from me, and obviosly it has the technique which i'm good with in it. I play Rachmaninoff quite a bit better than Chopin, because of his light touch...it's hard for me to immitate espicially on a Kimball because its action's terrible and has a very bad sound loudness/touch ratio.

You nearly have to close the lid all the way to get a pianissimo otherwise, you will have action malfunctions and the hammers wont hit the strings.

...Piano isn't a competition.
It is peculiar how you think it's not a competition when you are below average in one area, yet you compare yourself with Liszt, Chopin, even people will study your scores like they do Beethoven and you compose BETTER than Bach. So you already have compared yourself and said you are better. But unfortunately if you are "Better" than them even in your composing you would in your playing show musical sensitivity of a composer, however in your video examples all we see in an amateur who doesn't know how to play with sensitivity.

I'll get better at playing...you know I was never taught technique at all?
It is not technique but musicality which you need to catch up on, unfortunately those who are great composers have this naturally and it is not taught, you have a looooong way to go.

I compose good because the music came from me...
That doesn't make it good in the real world but in the made up world within your delusions of grandeur I am sure it does.

I play Rachmaninoff quite a bit better than Chopin
It is not hard to play better than what you have displayed here, so this comment is not saying anything at all.

because of his light touch...it's hard for me to immitate espicially on a Kimball because its action's terrible and has a very bad sound loudness/touch ratio.
It is still no excuse for someone who says they are a better composer than Bach.

Hi Breden, I have listened to your chopin.  Not bad for a new start.
I am sure , Chopin like his pupisl playing with their soul, often the "touch' is soften. You have lots of talent and enrergy, but you need a good mentor to overlook your playing. ATM, your touch is too stiff so as your playing mechanics. Fix these up and you are a better player...

Your pedaling isn't the best I've ever heard, there is a lot you can improve. 1:18? what the hell it is? Have you ever heard any pianist play it this way? Oh my god, I'm speechless.
The other side, your technique isn't as bad as it sounds, but you have to work on the interpretation. I can't imagine teh way your compose, but i'll be happy if you share with us some of your work, maybe I'll be wrong.
I put here my own playing of this piece, I'm not saying that I'm the best, I'm not saying that there isn't any mistake or place which I could do better (every time there is something you can do it better). But I just want you to hear other interpretation than only yours.

I read the comments before I viewed the video -wow you guys -is this 'lets be nasty to Brendan-week or something?'

I understand Brendan that you have made some wild claims in other threads -and I put this down to youthful immaturity more than anything -perhaps it is wiser to let your deeds do your talking for you -

In any case I didn't find your playing so terrible -clearly there are areas where you can improve -above all in the nocturnes there is in Chopins' most lyrical passages a core serenity -which you haven't captured at all -let the long notes sing out more -You need to play as if the piano is a human voice. If you ever play Chopin as if you are typing, it is really a lost cause -but there some tender moments - I think it is hard to play at your best when that recorder is running!

Brendan, if I may be a little more specific in my suggestions than some of the others here  :)

You've done a good job of learning the notes (not perfect yet) but you need to work on phrasing and dynamics, and especially in the left hand. Chopin's left hand parts should never sound like a brass band playing oom-pah-pah. Hesitate just a little before the second of the three chords. The third chord should be softer than the second one.

Also the bass notes trace out a melody, we should be able to hear the shape of that melody. Work on that, and then think of ways to introduce a little rubato here and there. Chopin is very organic, it should sound more spontaneous, as if it just occurred to you to stretch it out in certain places and tighten it up in others. But in a very gentle way.

And remember it's a nocturne -- a piece to be played at night. Think of a full moon shining through an open window in Mallorca. A cliche perhaps, but you need to express some kind of mood.

I agree the prelude is totally out of the rhythm. Could you (brendan765) play more from your heart than from your brain? Good thing about the performence was, that you weren't play wrong notes. Other aspects you have trashed.

Lol  @ this thread.

Brendan the best advice I can give you which translates more obviously in the physical department than what the rest are saying is that when you play Chopin, imagine the keyboard is actually a cat (or your lover), and you are stroking either of these two things.

Your fingers have quite a a direct attack, which is fine for some music but stylistically doesn't fit Chopin's music.

The singing notes and the tenderness etc etc come more naturally when you play with more of a stroking motion.

Also when the quality of the audio recording is low, it can really kill a lot of the nuance that may have actually been in your performance, so bear that in mind.

Oh gosh, Have I ever said that I can play it better? No! I just said, that other interpretations can help you but you are probably so egoistic or just stupid and you don't understand the meaning of it. You don't want to hear any advice, so why have you put the video here? If you will say that you are the best and have the best interpretation, you will never be the best, because you will not make any progress.

Actually many people do not know how to pet/handle animals. Petting a cat in a way that it actually enjoys it is a skill just like anything else. For some it comes instinctively though.

I am very good at petting cats, but I am not sure I can translate it well enough for the keyboard  :(

As someone who's fiance is a dog trainer, who works closely with the myriad of misbehaved animals scattered around melbourne including the abandoned rescue dogs who have been given up on by their owners...working as a behaviour consultant with their new foster carers who have trouble managing their behaviour despite "feeling more sympathy for a stray dog than a starving child in Africa"

...not very many people at all in western nations know how to handle animals.

..outin can verify the validity of the information.

Seems to be working, she was not bitten and got one to purr :)
There are two things to consider here: How to approach the cat to pet and how to actually do the petting. I have handled thousands of cats in my lifetime and also seen a lot of people try to pet cats, and some people simply manage to make the cat uncomfortable or annoyed when they try. So no offence to Teran, but no matter how simple it seems, some people lack the required sensitivity. Not too fast or slow, not with too much pressure, but also not with too light touch. And of course one needs to know where to pet and all this may need some adjusting depending on the individual cat.
It does actually sound a bit like playing... that too ;D

In this one none.

But some cats love it when your stroke their body with long fingers using a wrist motion. That could apply here :)


EDIT: Maybe instead of trying to make a video of my playing I should make a video about petting a cat, that would be so much easier. And interesting. There are several basic finger/hand movements in petting, the scratching  movement, stroking movement and patting movement...I might even make a blog :)

I fear I have at least in part become the forum troll today..

incidently.. my cat spends most of its time on its back - legs up in the air. And if I pet it during this time (no matter which way I do it) it wakes up and attacks my hand before realising its me, purring, and returning to sleep.

The claws digging in to my skin is a different feel to the one I get from piano keys.
