Chopin - Etude Op.25, No.1 (AjLongsPiano)

[ajlongspiano]

Hi friends,

    I hope you have all been well and that your piano studies are going better than ever. I thought I would share a new recording I made today to cap off the end of my first semester in music school. Hope you all enjoy. Feel free to comment and tell me how you have been and what pieces you're working on. I'd love to catch up with all of you!

Best,

AJ

Good job kid.  Nice phrase planning and appropriate drama without being overly melodramatic or sentimental. I particularly liked your tempo choice.  Good singing tone throughout.  I think for future projects, some early Szymanowski would suit you.  Some of the more romanticy etudes and especially those early preludes. Would be cool to hear some of that from you.

Thank you very much, Visitor. I appreciate your support a lot.

More of the great playing we are used to from AJ Long!  It's good to see that the conservatory experience is continuing to enhance your pianistic art, even if it minimizes the amount of time you have for this forum.

Mr. Cunningham,

    Thank you very much! Indeed, college life has taken a lot of my time away, but I'll be sure to post all recordings I make here, even if the entry associated with the recording is brief. I appreciate the support!

Best,

AJ

Everything in my signature, except for the Schoenberg, which i finished awhile ago.
