Schubert Klavierstücke D946 no.1.

Hi, I'm practicing this piece right now. This is my first recording of Schubert.

Do you have any recomend or advice?

Nice work!

Schubert was an amazing composer and it takes a real musician to render his music gracefully on the piano.

I think you've done a fine job. I particularly like the fact that you play with the score. You have some lovely, lyrical tone going on.

Personally, I think if the LH could have better contact with the keys it could support the sound texture more effectively, and give your playing more advanced colour. More colour would allow you to achieve a more organic, expressive quality.

But really, this was some very musical, highly accomplished playing. Schubert is always extremely difficult to play.

Yeah, it is damn difficult to make Schubert "sing". It's the hardest piece I've ever played, meaning the interpretation. (Even the Rachmaninoff g minor prelude is not that hard. )

If fact, I can play whole piece without the sheets, I have no idea why they were there.

I've been working on it for a while and it got much better and I know it can still be better.
(So, LH separately and long hours of concentrate practicing.)
Do you have some good tips how to get closer to the keyboard?

Thank you very much!

I most definetely have an advice for you. Record the other 2 too, and when it's not too much asked, also do the op. 90 and 142 impromtus as well. This sounds superb, even with the bad audio quality.

You're defo cut out to play Schubert.

When you practice the LH alone, it's really important that you are actually practicing hearing everything else around it.

A great way to find out how well the left hand REALLY knows what it's doing is to relax the RH by your side completely. Play the left hand alone, but sing the RH melody out loud with your voice!

Your LH needs to become a more independent instrument. Right now, it kind of just accompanies your RH. It doesn't really have an expressive voice of its own yet. This limits the overall expressiveness. It sounds flat overall, compared to the more organic, living type of tone produced by the virtuoso.
