Hi, I just wanna say congradulation, this is amazing! I've read your story written above, don't let anyone discourage you! This stuff is really good considering it's all self-taught, this kind of piece takes MONTHS to master. I know this from personal experience myself. You just need to control the speed and put a little more emotion to it, but other than that, I think is really good. You have great talent! Just keep at it and I'm sure you'll do perfect!

nice job, although I think you're going way too fast.. and it's impressive if you really learned that in 2 days! I'm trying myself and polishing the first few pages over and over again :)

Awesome performance ...

[chantimerlin]

one of the best amateur performances of this piece on you tube. how long did it take you to learn? i am also self taught and being playing for just over a year. i

@chantimerlin Thank you. It took me 2 days to read and learn the piece, it's structure is quite easy, speed is key.

It took me 3 months to play it at 2/3 of tempo. I'm still mastering it, as you can see, some accents are not good, mistakes...

[chantimerlin]

@WimeSTone Wow thats quick. Even Wilhelm Kempff made a couple of mistakes!! keep going and upload more vids. Can you please do the 1st movement? i would be interested in your interpretation.

[WimeSTone]

@chantimerlin I'd be interested in it too. To be honest, I didn't touch it. First, you need a good instrument, because electro-piano isn't as good. OK, I'll try. In my opinion 1 st mvt. is more difficult...

also im sending this video to everyone :) 

[WimeSTone]

@alboholic2 Oh, thank you. ^^ This hint is very common. Don't try to play it at full speed for some time. When you feel you're ready to play faster without significant mistakes, slightly increase tempo. Usually, I start from 1/3 of the original tempo, if piece is got to be played fast.

P.S. It's take nr. 2 of total 3. I had train that day, and my bags weren't packed yet. Maybe I rerecord it one day.

[alboholic2]

@WimeSTone oh ok thanks

[alboholic2]

and no problem:) 

[alboholic2]

I am not a professional, but if you're not an exceptionally talented pianist then I don't know who is. In short, I'd say you've got an excellent chance. I hope you'll encounter more encouragement and less flagrant jealously as you progress.

[WimeSTone]

@PatMcHugh Thank you. I think I will upload more soon, because now I don't have much time to record... :)
