FINAL!! Chopin Prelude No. 1
on: July 13, 2015, 06:00:15 AM
All right so this is my last time trying this piece out here... the last one I uploaded was too slow and I had been playing it hardly a week. So here, I've been playing it for a few months now. What do you think? Any advice on playing, recording, or videoing would be great. THANKS!  ;D

Nicely done.
Just a couple personal suggestions-
-around 10 seconds or so, I wouldn't speed up quite so much. You want it to be agitato, not stretto.
-I would start diminuendoing right at the climax of the phrase at around 16 seconds or so. You've reached the cadence, now you're dying away.
Those are just a couple minor personal taste things, you've done quite well.
