Chopin - Prelude in E Minor (Op.28 No.4)

[nirav1]

hey guys i am working on the chopin prelude in e minor 
i would love to hear your opinion about it

[lelle]

I think you are doing pretty good. I think you have a good idea for the piece and how it should go. You look a bit tense in your shoulders, how do you feel when you sit there and play? Do you feel calm and at ease or a bit stressed?

If you are tense in the shoulders - try practicing with an airplane neck pillow (preferably a felt one, not those crappy rubber/plastic ones). You'll feel instantly when those shoulders start to rise...

I think you are doing really good, I enjoyed that! But you need to be more clean with the pedal changes - every new chord needs a new pedal. And in the stretto part, yes go forward but don't rush - right now it feels a bit hurried at the very climax, which takes away some of the emotional impact of this piece. Anyway, well done!

I am by far from an expert or qualified to give advice, but I'll just say that I agree with the suggestions.   Relax, clean up the pedaling, and rushing a bit.   

But the most important part that I am qualified to give advice on is that it sounds great!   I enjoyed it very much.      It's a deceptively difficult piece to get to sound just right.
