VIDEO: A Charming Chopin Waltz

Hi everyone, I just uploaded a video of me playing a Chopin Waltz.

I quite enjoy playing this little piece and I'm going to work on two more small Waltzes in future before moving on to the main body of them.

Very nicely done. I might have used slightly less rubato, but we all have a different sense of that quality.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks Theme, I know that in some people's eyes I may go too far with rubato but this piece, I think, benefits from a little unorthodoxy to spice it up.

Thanks mjames! It's not my first Chopin, but it is my first Waltz of his, hopefully the first of many

Not bad. Personally, I'd work on the balance a bit more, but your melody is shaped very well.
Cheers!

Oh, and a side note; there are several spots where you play forte to bring emphasize something. In Chopin, it's important to emphasis spots, but do the opposite to achieve this; bring people's ears in by going to pp instead of fff.
