Liszt Ferenc - La Campanella
on: October 23, 2016, 11:43:44 AM
Hello all!

This is my practice of Liszt's La Campanella. It's a really hard piece which is actually not in my skill level, because I have been playing piano only for 3+ years, but I love this piece and I learned one more part after my previous video in 2015 (already posted here). So here is the part1  and the  part2.

Piano: Yamaha CLP 565 GP

Good job!

Just a  detail, remember this entire pieces is to simulate a bell ringing. The notes in the high(est) register of the piano are suppose to be barely audible.

At the start the ear is drawn to it by the octaves, but after that they are to be light and in the background.

Nonetheless, I like what your doing with it; get to the end.

If you know it's not in your skill level (despite loving it) why don't you actually practice and learn pieces within your skill level and then come back to this piece when you can do it justice rather than struggle through it.

Also (without being critical) I hope this isn't the result of you just practicing this from 2015 until now.

Finally, this and many other pieces of this level can be deceiving as the start can usually be tackled by pianists of even very amateur levels, but many if not all will hit brick walls when it comes to the 'meat' of these pieces, the Chopin Ballade No.1 being another example. I'd save yourself the disappointment and take it back and level and come back to this when you're technically capable.

 ;D of course not, I learn lots of pieces with my teacher in my skill level. This piece(and also to play the piano) is just a hobby for me at the moment.

And thank you for your response. I will learn just small parts and I'll make little steps for the final goal.

I am happy to hear this and that you are realistic about your goals.
