Schubert Impromptu A-Flat 90/4 (partial)
on: May 28, 2014, 12:47:10 AM
Hey, sorry I didn't include the first part, I was playing this at a rehearsal and my teacher said to start at the B section to save time. Also didn't take the second repeat  :-[ Anyway, please give feedback!

I didn't set up my audio recording device in the best spot, but I hope it's not too bad

Edit: I mispelled Schubert in the filename, silly German and its trigraphs

Thanks! I had to learn and memorize this piece pretty fast since it was a last second decision to play it at my junior recital.  :)

The repeated chords aren't voiced properly; there is a single note that is too pronounced that it grounds the chord.  This attracts the attention away from the melody.

About the melody, resolutions need to be softer:
Tension > resolution
RE > do
Dominant > tonic

Thanks for the tips!

Are you saying that I'm voicing one note too much or that I should voice it more? Sorry, it was a little ambiguous to me. And with the repeated chords, do you mean in the B section (that I started with in the recording)?

 There's one note that sticks out noticeably from the others so it needs to be uniform with the rest of the chord.  Yes, with the B section.  Do you hear what I'm referring to?  It's the E right under the melody.
