Yeah, as far as everything goes, you played it better than that woman.
Your piano seems to be just a little on the old and out of tune side.
And just a note to everyone, the reason it may have been louder is the action. Some pianos have a piss poor action that makes it virtually impossible to play it right.
I played a Chikering last night, which sounded absolutely beautiful, but the action was horrible.
that's true, the action on this badboy makes it so i have to be very careful to create a uniform volume with the notes. there are many keys that require different pressures, which makes it, uh, interesting. its alot easier to produce a soft delicate sound on the steinway grand at school (no shit, right)l, though i actually like the worn-in sound of this old piano alot.(its alot better than my phone's mic gave it credit) I think my phasing has gotten better since this post. more pensive and sad.
I know it will take some practice, but even on bad pianos, if you spend an hour perfecting the touch of any particular piano, you can get it close.
The Chickering I played, that sounded beautiful had a terrible action, after about the third time of playing this I got close.
It wasn't like I had a lot of time though.
I'm only about 15 right now, and my plan on a piano for when I get out of the house(or dorm) is the best combo of cheap, nice action, nice sound, and a baby grand.
I would like to add that you need to control the pedal more.
It really helps, in my experience. I made the same mistake too. Took me a month to get this piece down.
First I had it quiet, but then the bottom notes of the arpeggios were sticking out too much, so I accidentally got into the habit of playing it overall too loud.
I then played the top note too loud, a habit from playing the second movement of the pathetique, but I toned it down.
It is truely difficult to get it. Saved him by adding in a comment about the action being poor.
Pianos with poor action make it impossible to play this song correctly and consistently.
My piano is already a bit difficult, but I found the right touch, but hitting that top note only SLIGHTLY harder is extremely difficult without a Steinway. Even with a Steinway, its something even some truely great interpretations lack, including Kempffs. The other main difficulty is hitting that last chord ppp.
That piano is crying...Can you hear it? Pleeease kill me! lol

It now sounds beautiful.

great accuracy in notes, but too loud.
On the sheet music you will see PP which means "Piano Piano" English: Soft soft.
The whole song is meant to be a whisper.
A deceiving song, because its seems easy to play but in reality is Very tough to play correctly. Keep trying softer, you'll get it
