[Video] Chopin Waltz in A minor Op. Posthumous
on: January 27, 2014, 10:08:42 PM
Here is me playing Chopin's Waltz in A minor, there are a few mistakes and the piano is a little flat.  Feel free to leave any constructive criticism.  I'm sure I could play it better but I get nervous when recording with a camera.

Your left hand was a bit too loud and clunky, and your right hand should 'sing' with greater clarity.  I recommend practicing it without any pedal at all to really focus on building the legato!

Try not to play beats two and three of each measure quite so forcefully.
