This certainly is not an easy piece to play :) It was my first Piano Collections piece too, and I found it a lot more challenging than I initially thought it would be.
I think you already know all the areas you need to work on.. it needs to be a lot smoother and the tempo needs to be increased a lot, especially in the first half. I thought the dynamics were pretty good; pedalling needs to be corrected in a few areas.
Basically, practice a lot more and it'll come together :)
No way hehe, so far everything I've learned has been from sheet music, I'm not brave enough to try and learn something by ear. =P
If you mean can I play it from memory, then yes at this point I can. I've probably played it at least 200 times practicing and it's burned itself into my brain. I just kept the sheet music on the stand as a guide in case I had a mind blank or something. =P
This looks like a very difficult peice, congratulations on a great performance!! I can't believe you call yourself a "newbie" to the piano. Lol I was playing "when the saints coming marching in" when I first started playing! I have to admit though, a better piano would make you sound like you should. If your like me and can't afford a piano, look into a keyboard. Some inexpensive keyboards really sound n feel like the real thing nowadays n Lol they all have working D keys!! PEACE MAN!
great ))
keep rocking )

Really - you thought it was challenging? What would you consider easy then? Just curious.

For a beginner? Yes, very challenging! I guess some of the OST pieces could be considered 'easy'.

Beautiful song, schmoe! More of a quiet jazz than most FF pieces, but still very nice. :)
