Chopin Sonata no.3 1st Movement LIVE Concert Recording
on: November 21, 2017, 11:44:43 AM
Hey everyone, haven't been here in a while - glad to be back. Last week I had the great pleasure of playing the 1st movement of Chopin's 3rd Sonata (in my opinion better than no. 2) at my school concert - I am 15 years old currently. I have prepared this movement for about a month and a half, the piano was a Steinway grand (C?), and was recorded as a crappy ipone recording. Somehow I managed to get the first note wrong (doh!) but, in case you're wondering, my main purpose for this sonata movement was to get the architecture and structure of the piece. Anyway, enough of me rambling on, have a listen and I hope you enjoy this great work of Chopin. All comments/feedback/criticism/etc. appreciated. Thank you

Hi Daniele! Very impressing that you pull off this work when you are only 15! There were many great aspects of this performance, but since you learned it just a month ago obviously it isn't perfect. You still need to work on the technical parts more, alot of the runs sound muddy and unclear, and some of them you just rush through. I'm not sure if it was because of the poor recording but I didn't hear a very big dynamic range. In the development section I think you need to work on your phrasing. Also there is a lot of contrapunctual writing there, so remember to bring out all the voices there. Then there is always the never ending process of fully understanding a piece, but that comes with time.

With that said, I enjoyed your performance and hope that you will post the entire sonata here on pianostreet some day. Good luck!
