Bach Prelude in C Major
on: December 14, 2015, 03:50:35 PM
I recorded this after sight reading through it 3 times. I got it on my first try too, lol. Too bad the camera is crooked.

You might have seen one of my videos without knowing it was that nut from the forum

Good start! I really enjoyed the different shades/colors that you managed to project. I saw a really interesting interpretation of this piece from the Hammamatsu competition from a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it.

My first thought was that you have pretty hands  ;D

I think you should do one of your great imitations on this piece instead, it's just one of those things one has heard a few times too many  ;)

That was a very nice performance, thanks!

@Outi yes, I'm sure an imitation will come... ;)

Pretty good.

My only gripe -- some of your key attacks (especially R5 ~1:30ish for instance) are quite harsh. Maybe it was just the piano/how it was recorded?
