gershwin prelude number 1

Some advice: Practice it slow.... very slow. Over and over and over again until you feel comfortable and are with how you are playing it. The part between 0:11 and 0:14 should have the lowest Bb, not the octave above (unless there is something seriously wrong with the low notes.. in that case, I would understand)

Don't be afraid to use the damper pedal. This piece could use at least a little bit of it, so that everything is more connected. Once you feel more confident add in some dynamics.

[composer14]

sorry i didn't realize that you used the pedal... but make sure you use it the whole time.

[composer14]

also, I think you're playing the wrong chord in the right hand at the very end. I did that all of the time when I was at the point as you are right now.

liked it, lol, i'm attempting to learn it now, don't have the first few bass chords right and can't get'em for some reason.. good interpretation. nice work, put up some more piano vids? =]

[derox16]

WOW NICE :D

[museIKplox]

check mine out eh?

[museIKplox]

Meh...should be a bit faster.

I'm pretty sure it's allegro eh?

Triplet runs could use some work.

[HomerJ666]

i personally dont like your interpretation. but you played it well!

check mine out ;)

Good work, I agree with the comment below you started too fast. I'm having the same problem right now with this piece. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one that struggles with this piece.

[csmars]

good performance. you definitely slowed down in the last part (to accommodate the right hand chords?) but I think the beginning was a little fast so maybe a tempo between the beginning and the end would be nice. That's about the speed I play this at. I agree about finger forms. overall very nice to listen to.

[aaaaandreeeee]

estude mais lento, ´ficará boa.!

[Moiraine20200]

More dynamic contrast! Other than that beautiful.

[crazedpianokid]

watch the form on your fingers, theyre a bit flat mostly the pinky though.

this takes more muscle and can really slow you down

[bkgangstapianist]

its weird for me... the ending is easiest and the beginning is hardest  but for every1 esle its the opposite

[farah73]

daaaaaaamn, you're reading that? if I can read like you do i'll finish a sonata every day :) nice work. but it needs a little more practice. there is no room for breaking the temp in this piece. and use some muscle, forget what they taught you about using the weight of your arm. it dosn't help much in that particular piece. mwah

[GatorPrevails]

ur tempo is FINE. don't listen to that guy. There can be different interpretations of the same piece. However, why did you get SUPER slow in "a tempo" section? you're supposed to get faster. and some technique problems. but otherwise, it was good!

[T3RM1N83R]

1. The part where you changed the page was great!

2. Try memorizing the piece, then play it.

3. A bit more faster would be better.

4. Pretty good!

Enjoyed this very much. Other vids of the piece don't swing and rock like you...
