Schubert Eb Major Impromptu op. 90 No. 2
on: September 10, 2018, 08:49:11 AM
Hello,
I discovered this wonderful Forum and couldn't resist to post one of my videos to get some Feedback from its community!
I am not a professional pianist insofar as I haven't got a diploma from a conservatory. I studied philosophy and literature and after got my master (Magister) the piano grabbed me once again and I just practiced a lot, took a course in contemporary piano playing and become a piano teacher. Now I want to know who I can reach with my playing.
Feel free to subscribe to my Youtube, next will be Schubert 142 No. 3 and Philip Glass Trilogy Sonata Second Movement.
The Piano is a Schimmel and the location is a church in Altenessen, Germany. I used a AudioTechnica Microphone and my laptop
I don't know if the video is getting displayed properly here, if not here is the link:
Cheers,
Irmela

Nice performance!
the 2nd section around 1min 24sec - 3 minutes or so, a little slow compared to what I'm used to hearing. is that intentional?
I don't know enough about the piece to determine if it should be this speed or if other performers generally speed it up.

Thank you for your comment!
Yes I am slowing down in the middle section a little bit, I don't do so every time and intentionally, but I think it worked out fine to deepen the contrast to the other part and give it a life of its own so to speak. But yes Schubert didn't write a different tempo for this part and other performers don't generally speed it up, but somehow always when I'm listening to it I think that something is getting lost there. Maybe I should play it a little bit slower in general so not to change tempo or play it as nuanced yet in tempo. Always a process

I'm not a pianist by any means, so please take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. Based on what I hear in your op 90 no 2, the group of notes at 1:24 - 1:26 (and repeated thereafter) sounds "fundamentally" different if slowed down as it is in your recording. Compare it to this, for example at 1:29:
... It's a kind of "galloping" rhythm, wouldn't you say?
What I mean to say is that even if you slow down the rest of the section, or incorporate a lot of rubato etc., I would personally prefer keeping that group of notes "intact". Does that make sense?

Oh, you found that old post
First of all, I really love the Zimerman-Interpretation, I think it's the best. But I guess that 'galopping' feel to the quavers in the right hand was the main reason why I slowed it down... I wanted those notes to have a meaning on their own, not only pushing the melody on, but sort of like commenting on it. I can understand when you rather prefer to have this galopping feel, but I like to experiment to see what other understanding you can get out of a piece.
