Hi pjjslp, I have tried to listen to your recording several times but each time the video freezes right in the beginning and a message about interruptions is displayed.
Hi pjjslp. I love this piece. Very well played!
Nice playing!Just a couple general things.1st is mic placement; your playing sounds like it's balanced, and you've got great tone, but I think the mic placement isn't doing you any favors. As such, the A flat/G sharp repeated notes come out a little heavy.Other than that, great job! If you'd like to play for each other and give tips, you're more than welcome to PM me (as is anyone else, haha!).If you'd like some examples of my playing, you can find my most recent recordings in the audition room; Chopin, mostly. Op 10 #9 and 17 # 4, but enough self promotion.You play very expressively and very well. Nicely done!
Very well executed, musical and expressive! Great job
Thank you! I have fallen in love with this piece and am trying to pick out my next Chopin to tackle. Probably a nocturne, but which one? So many beautiful ones to choose from.
Very nice pjjslp! I enjoyed it a lot. Nice dynamic control and good pedaling.
With regards to a previous comment, there is nothing wrong or unprofessional about playing with a score. Professionals and skilled amateurs do it all the time. It tends to be concert practice to memorize for pianists, but there is no reason you have to do this. It makes you no less of a musician to play with music. If you mainly play at home for enjoyment, then do what is most suited to you.
There are so many beautiful ones. Op.9 No.1 and Op. 15 No.1 are 2 of my favorites. If you haven’t played for a while, it might not be a bad idea to play one that you used to play.
Hello, Really good attempt, I am quite a fan of this prelude myself.I have a few pieces of advice,- Rubato, despite Chopin's dedication to tempo, the romantic era was quite known for tempo rubato. some areas need to be slowed, like the end of sections A, B, A before the coda, while you do seem to play in tempo as the repeating Ab and G# notes, however, you should play it a tad slower all together to give a more dreamy feeling like a gentle patter of rain. The climax in section B should be played slower, and with greater dynamics - for it was the romantic period where the piano got softer and the forte got louder.I also noticed that you don't play some of the full chords in the piece, try rippling them like an arpeggio, gives contrast to the constant chords. Section B, also try to make the right hand soft during the left hand voicing, it makes it more dark, and leads up to the booming climax of emotion that the piece holds.I hope this advice can help you master the piece - Chris
