[Video] Pachelbel Canon in D Major

Title says it all Advice for improvement is welcomed!

You have the potential for great technique. Your center of gravity is a little off and your wrists are a bit stiff.  Try holdIng them a bit higher and curving  your fingers a bit more. I feel that you are thinking from the tips of your fingers...try to think from the shoulders and even your waist. You have 2 hands not 10 fingertips. You are wasting much of your "finger energy" and that will make it very hard to play the bigger pieces.

Work with a metronome... steadiness of tempo is crucial to your development. You have a tendency to rush.

Think about smoothing things out in your phrasing of the ostinato bass.  This one can get really tedious on the ears if it sounds too heavy.

I hope to see you post this again and others as you progress.   I like your playing.

This guy isn't a beginner, he plays Chopin's ballades, Rach sonatas, etudes..etc lol

Apologies... I call them like I see them. I mean no disrespect. I like the Debussy he posted on youtube far better and the Rach too. Still say there is unnecessary stress in the hand. He is a far better pianist than this vid suggests. I will leave my presumptuous comment though.

[mjames]

Yeah he's awesome...
great hands too...

One day I'm going to abduct him so I can steal his hands. :////

Haha thanks for the comments guys!

I agree the vid looks a little stupid i play it on prima vista haha I agree also on the tempo rushing

As for stress in the hands.. here i completly disagree I play for hours and hours and no pain and i don`t feel to be tired or anything so i think there is no stress

I will try and improve for the next vod tho And thanks again!
