La Campanella
on: January 27, 2021, 11:47:05 AM
Here's a recording of La Campanella from my recent practising! It still feels like a work in progress. There are so many tricky sections in this piece that it took me quite a while to start feeling comfortable with it. I recorded this on an upright, so the action wasn't quite as good as on a concert grand, so I had to go a little slower on the repeated notes which is one of the hardest sections for me.

Enjoy  :)

Impressive, just like your last post! It's well on its way I would say :D

My biggest issue is actually that I feel you could have a lighter and more graceful and precise touch in some of the easiest parts, for example the introduction with the d sharp octaves, or the place where you alternate hands with a single note and a third (beginning of the first B major section and so on). I think most other things I reacted to will resolve themselves as you get even more comfortable with the piece.

But what do I know, I still struggle with playing this  ;D
