The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Vine Sonata No. 1- Listen and Critique?
on: August 04, 2013, 03:44:25 AM
This piece was pretty challenging to me since I'm not really into contemporary compositions. However, this piece caught my eye, and it's been my favorite contemporary piece so I decided to learn it. I recorded it at home so excuse the out of tune notes =.=

Any tips or criticism would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)

Omg I LOOOVVVEEEE Carl Vine!!!

I would critique you, but I'm not well versed in contemporary music, so...  Sorry.

Actually, there is this one spot...

Right after the first forearm cluster, right around when you're screwing around with the really LOW register, there's a hidden melody that I can't hear.  Try to bring it out more.

I think you wait too long after the initial glissando, kinda sounds disjointed between the 2 sections. You could take longer the second time it appears.
just my opinion, I don't play contemporary either.
