4 Pieces - Bach Beethoven Chopin Rachmaninoff.
on: March 19, 2013, 08:36:09 AM
Hello everyone!

I figured I would like feedback on what I'm working on at the moment.
The pieces are:
Chopin ballade no 3.
Rachmaninoff variations (Corelli theme). Theme + var 1-5.
Bach P&F no 22 WTC 1.
Beethoven sonata no 5 (1st movement).

If you have the time to listen to all of them which would be really great, but also for a specific purpose. I'm applying to a school where you only need to play 3 pieces in about 2 months.
Which do you think is my weakest piece musically, that I should remove from the program?

No great sound, nor pianist. I have been playing the piano for about 2-2.5 years.
I'm having a superhard time with good finger-legato, and not so great finger-technique.

These four recordings where taken in 1 shot, so it's not my "best" performance, but i think not the worst, except for maybe the Beethoven but hey, it's the best way to check what state the piece is in I think.

I'm sorry for the anti-climactic wrong notes.
