Brahms, Capriccio in G Minor, Op 116, No 3

[klaviertraum]

I wish I could make more justice to Brahms' exquisite counterpoint

Very nice video - the light on the white keys contrasting with the shiny black piano and dark sweater, the pictures of Brahms...
It sounds nice, well done, but most pianists play it with more drama. I recommend you go crazy with it on a full moon or something, play like no one is listening!

Thank you for your kind feedback!. Indeed, a lot more contrast is needed between the outer and middle part. I'll work on it.

In the first section, it should sound like the world is falling apart in some great tragedy.

What other pianists have you listened to? Do you have a teacher?

The good thing is you know the notes, now to make a drama!

Thank you essence, I don't have a teacher and try to work on it on my own. I have Emil Gilels' version as my favourite, I know I am not anywhere near. I believe there are two elements to consider to get the level of dynamic and drama needed, 1) work on my technique and command of the keyboard as I get very tired by the end of section B. 2) I play a silent piano which has limited dynamic range due to the silent system, so it takes me lots of effort to play pp or ppp or to go from pp to f, ff or fff. In any case I made quite a lot of progress and will continue working on it thanks to your feedback.

Best,
KT
