Arabesque in C Major, Op. 18 by Robert Schumann

[chrisscan]

Hi Elizabeth lovely to hear you playing. You are doing it so well. You a professional - dont know if you are but you shoud be.

Do you ever play Chopin, it would suit your mind perfectly I would think. I played Chipin a lot in my younger days. Do you have a website ?

[MrEbaby2010]

Nice playing. Touching 

[LovelyDove4]

I've never heard this song before...such a nice first listen ^_^

[LedZeppelin005]

LOVE IT! really :)

[killertyann]

I have this as my favorite. I listen to it in the mornings as I read and meditate. Great Job!

[a589154]

good for u!!

[Brahms777]

Congratulation!

[KateSorensen]

[smile] Just viewed Ravel Concerto in G - 3rd movement Presto, from 7 months ago and wow! Talk about wonderful talent! That was great. Forgive my misspelling of Schumann. Loved both parts of the Ravel Concerto.

Beautiful. I love Shumann. This performance was two years [or more] ago. I can imagine how much you must have advanced since then.

Beautiful....I hope you come to Redmond in April, 2010 with your Dad. Would love to see and hear you in real life!

[jeh9999]

overall a nice performance. passage transitions did leave something to be desired. one of my favourite schmann pieces; it always moves me, so i am therefore critical.

[degedidear]

I love this piece!

[mayablanca]

Beautiful! :)

[PianoGirl555]

I like your playing. Its full with feelings and love. I think that this piece should go little bit slower but however its awesome! Thanks for shareing :)

[SahintheFalconet]

VERY good! Personally I prefer playing this song a bit slower (especially at the end), but your interpretation of the song is excellent.

[jgkflgkfl]

toooooooo fast

[sammiekrocks123]

beautiful

lot of emotion...i love this piece

[CalikoKat]

Great !! Played with such feeling and emotion

[CharChanlol]

I think THAT she isnt deep enough.....

[fsharpminor63]

very nice playing, what part of the world are you from?

[gretalegs]

I am in Oregon. Incidentally, f-sharp minor is my favorite key. Haha.

[90grotesca]

You are an artist.

[Kolpojio]

I play this stuff too and my teacher says: " Listen this girl".

[lovesGenet]

i thik this is a great tempo .Not maudlin and slow.Problem is left hand ois too loud.Your characterization  was poetic.Wonderful things .U have a feeling for Schumann ! Listen to your sound at al times and experiment with much less and pedal.U really have musical intuition.Mature palying.Iwas very surprised!!! Rare here with amateurs who think facility means something.anyone can move fingers your sensitivity to basswas also remarkable in big middle section.

[mariofbag]

You are very musical and have a lot of talent, you also have the right idea of the Arabesque, you dynamics and direction are just fine and your tempo is within the acceptable limits. When you play with conviction you will convince your audience I think you have no problem in doing it. I know this work very well and have play it for several years now I don't need to tell you to keep playing the piano because I know that you will and mature to an be an artist.

[smithsherman]

You are playing what you think and how you think you should.I hear how you want to play this...BUT...you won't allow yourself.

What your teacher has taught you...inhibits both your original perspectives...and simultaneously is not an historic Schumann.

Your next step is to grow...and reject all of that.

[bosse66]

AMAZING!!!

[mason104]

I agree on the tempo. However, it was a very nice performance. Thank you for sharing. Very encouraging, too, I think.

[finessefluteecole]

for some one so young good!

However I think you rushed a bit :)?

[Therapix]

She rushed a bit indeed.

[ChipsDubbo]

ah this was a very heartfelt performance. i enjoyed it very much :)

[uo12345678910]

i'm learning this piece and i like it alot and now after listening to your playing i like the piece more :)

[scharwenka1850]

It seems your family is very talented. No doubt, a house with wonderful music! 5 stars!

[TomBarrister]

Well done.

[BarNuun]

This is so superb, lovely feeling and phrasing; your other Schumann also, beautifully done.

[YGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYG]

It's so obvious that you are a professional pianist. I didn't even have to read it on your profile. You have the rubatos, dynamics, and musical ability of a professional. You play so beautifully.

^o^

[YGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYGYG]

Beautiful! Especially, to be so young.

[piano6861]

I love your playing! I am a very hard to please concert pianist. Your level of artistry is very high!

I though you may enjoy some of my videos as well.

[zongorista]

játszd ki a tizenhatodokat!

[SapphireLin13]

I love this song. Nice Job!

[salexlindsay]

Great performance- you're very nice to look at too!

[semprelegato]

WOW! You are very talented. Very well done. 5 stars! :)

[seatoshiningsea]

Very expressively played. Know there is always a gourmet chef who will cook and listen!

[GHMisterT]

good job, Elizabeth. Always a pleasure to see a pretty girl play piano, especially when it's written by a poet like Schumann
