Asturias

My interpretation of this wonderful piece by Albeniz. I know my jumps could be better (any tips on how to get better is needed), and I kind of messed up the beginning of the softer part in the middle of the piece.

It's an exciting piece, however the lines in the piece fall apart sometimes. Especially because of the leaps, try practicing them by only make your hands travel to the chord slowly and speed up gradually, without landing the chord. Just make sure the hand is in place, when it's getting into place in the original tempo, redo the process but hit the chord this time, a while after your hands have traveled to the position. Then, redo again, now hit the chord instantly.
Just make sure you never do any mistakes, if you do. Go back to a slower tempo.

You did well overall, your musicmaking is good in the middle section IMHO.

Thank you chapplin. I'll keep that in mind when practicing this piece. The leaps have always given me trouble. Thanks for the constructive commenting!  :)
