I'm semi picky, so I have to say you did a great job ^_^, but! Undeniable I heard some mistakes, most early on. And I've heard and seen the music, so mind telling why you added the chord on 2:43?
You mean the octave at the left hand? It might've been a misreading but I don't think so since it couldn't have been tied over....that is weird though...I played on the Henle edition...
dude, its a cadenza. its supposed to be improvised, but since improvisation isn't really encouraged anymore, people tend to play the same old cadenzas. so bravo for him for doing something a little different. one gets tired of always hearing the same cadenza to this concerto.
i think i love you. you're amazing, god i'm jealous. how old are you, too? you seem like you have had so many years of lessons. you did overwhelmingly well.
Haha, I know! What the hell?? There's actually a funny reason why I think I didn't bow. Because the concerto night the year before, I bowed but forgot to shake the conductor's hand...so this time, my mind was all on shaking his hand...haha. I don't know.
I think you banged this out which made it ugly and harsh,I know it wasn't the recording. During the lyrical part of the candenza(where beethoven goes back to the theme)play tons softer and make the sound more whole, and less bangy.On the last page where the piano does the repetative 2 notes back and forth, that needs to build, not start loud. You're a good pianist who needs maturity.(I have performed this with many orchestras)
Hey Alex!!! It's me Ernie! I didn't know you uploaded Concerto night from 2004! Wow! I remember that was a great performance! Do you have any of the parts where I played (I think I played the Mozart Piano Concerto) before you? Man, I wish there were more piano concerto opportunities here in Cornell :)
You are fantastic. This is quite an amazing performance. I agree with the 1st comment up ^^there^^. I am still not able to play through that entire sequence without resting. I also still have trouble keeping time. With time, I'll get there. Keep them coming!
Your performance is excellent... I am still at a loss as to why so many crappy performances on here get so many admiring comments, when the truly good players don't. I really like this concerto; I've played the 3rd movement, but never the 1st. Great job!
This is just played as a display of technique: what a pity...
