Chopin Prelude Opus 28 No.4 [Video]

Just started learning this piece a week ago and I will perform this and one more piece at a meeting this Sunday. I am currently listening to others who play this and I truly want to do a good performance.

I would concentrate more in the right hand now. It's a bit weak, the left hand is often drowning it.

Not bad, but my teacher teaches me to play the left hand slowly......Largo.

Otherwise great performance, don't forget to add in some emotion in that first long part of the right hand movement though!

I agree with the above suggestions, and also suggest to play it slower.

Play it faster if you are capable...after the musical fill before your ending make sure to take the decrescendo and ritardando seriously. Listen to Rubinstein play it on youtube and how he accentuates the right hand...try to get similar to that because he does it right...im not saying copy or mimic rubinsteins interpretation but that's how it should be played.

I doesn't need to be played faster; Chopin marked it as Largo. Personally I don't like Rubinstein's version, although it is personal preference.
