My only question is why so heavy on the damper pedal? Otherwise, I like the way you play it. (I have the music and there is no marking for pedaling). I am not saying that the damper pedal can't be used at all with this piece. Just curious. Does your sheet music show pedaling?
@mmcrosbie Thanks for your comment! Good question... no, my score shows no pedal at all, my teacher and I worked on it together. I never thought about playing this without pedal, I think a piece like this definitely requires it, or it would sound dry. I think the pedal also enhances the melody, it is a lied after all... But I don't know, maybe if I played this piece now, I would pedal differently. It's a been a while since I played this
@thinkgreenlovepurple Notice, I did not ask you why you used the pedal. I asked why so heavy on the pedal? I think the acoustics in the room affect the sound too. (I don't mean to be critical, just suggesting perhaps a little less pedalling). Some of my piano uploads have poor acoustics, I have to admit. I used an amateur recorder in my living room at home years ago. I have resumed piano studies and am now using a Yamaha Digital piano, as it's easier to move than my big old heavy upright.
@mmcrosbie Oh sorry I misunderstood! It could be my recorder, or lack of recorder. I used a digital camera to record this one, and I probably should not have placed the camera on the piano. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and suggestions, I'll consider them when I play this piece again... :)
I have never heard of this piece, but I thoroughly enjoyed the it after listening your performance. It is really beautiful! And I thought your playing was great too...
This is very good:)
