RandomPiano: Beethoven Pathetic Practice

[giorgospolitis7]

just perfect!!!!!!

I enjoyed it! Yes, a little rough in *very few* spots to the common ear, and a little slow to the classically trained ear, BUT..... 1) you have it memorized and 2) you can get through it! And for that, I'm impressed!! It's all there, the seed has been planted and is quite sprouted, just keep watering it! :)

@adamcolbert Hey thanks! I'll surely keep practicing this piece. It is one of the first piano pieces I heard and I instantly liked.

I like your sense and desire for drama in the beginning! If may offer a piece of advice, though: I recommend playing the beginning in straight time, and then afterward, adding a very slight rubato if you feel it's needed. Also, all the pickups are 16th notes, but you are playing them as 32nd notes. In general, you've got a big dent knocked into the learning of this piece, and now comes the refining, and now it's time for the details! Keep up the great work. You're also a good composer. :)

@OrangeSodaKing Hey thanks for the comments and advice. I play those rhythms differently because I felt it makes it more dramatic. As for the first movement, I'm still trying out how I wanna play certain parts. Certainly some more technical practice...

@ReturnOfTheStienway I see what you mean about drama but that deviates from what Beethoven specifically wanted and following the score down to every scribble (please use an Urtext edition, it's well worth the money) is a must. Believe me, you can still form your own interpretation after doing what Beethoven said. ;) If you do a good job leading the phrase, it will be the most dramatic thing ever! I mean, it's Beethoven and C minor; that's the ultimate combination! But keep up the good work.
