Piazzolla: Retrato de Alfredo Gobbi (ABRSM Grade 8: C4)

[blehgahmeh88]

i find that the second and third sections should be more calm and smooth...ie pedal...what do you think about that? I'm not sure =S

[blehgahmeh88]

love this piece...piazzolla is just awesome ;D

Big hands make everything easier... sigh...

I would like to ask in bar 14, do we use the right hand to play the chord which is just above the left hand part or do we use the left hand to do it?

I suggest pedals in thie piece, but don't overdo it.

@helson20a

i use my right hand when i play it

i've heard it been played both ways

[nintendomaster96312]

Good, but lacks in technique. This is not a critism. This is something to reflect and give a good thought about.

i am learning this song now for my exam next year and u just inspire me, the other players on youtube are really expressionless like what others say.

[AthestaFirst]

@fever7869 true. almost everyone i've heard is really just playing notes, which defies the purpose of music as a form of self-expression and emotion that we all understand.

[whitehart101]

that is very good, well played, im playing that piece for my grade 8 abrsm exam

[theturbolemming]

Anyone have any idea where I can get the sheet music for this? I'm looking to buy it digitally (I don't want to get the whole ABRSM book).

[covenantcarbine]

I meant on bar 31 to 33 . Please read carefully if you're not blind .

[Amoshydra]

Sorry, but I'm frustrating about pedalling because I don't know where should I use pedal in this song.

Is there any part in this song where pedal is obligated?

Or else, can I use pedal only from bar 13-55 and bar 72-87 ?

[ChristineChengXD]

@Amoshydra Ive played this song and I think it would be best to add some pedal on the other pts(1 to 54) coz it will be little bit dry. BUT dont put too much pedal on that pts!

[Amoshydra]

@ChristineChengXD I am playing it for my exam.. and my teacher told me not to use pedal. What should I do now?

[ChristineChengXD]

@Amoshydra Its just a suggestion XDD BUT, u have the right to ignore my suggestion. you are the one who play the piece, so u are the one who need to make the final decision . Anyway, I hope my suggestion do help u and hope u can get a good mark in the exam. Good luck ^^

@Amoshydra

[covenantcarbine]

how do you guys pedal on bar 31 to 33 ?

[Amoshydra]

But there is no pedal sign for this song. Can we use pedal?

It is impossible not to use pedal on this song rite?

[appledoe95]

I don't fast will be good. For the "tender" or "sad" part. Great! I like the way you play it, compared to the other youtubers that played that song too. Good job(:

[cherrybaby8]

totally agree. the other youtubers who played this song just don't pull it off like he does.

[amo1000]

Nice, but i think playing it a bit faster makes it sound better overall
