Grieg - Notturno Op. 54 No.4, Iskra Mantcheva, piano

[VanessaFlairr]

I've been playing a year and I'm excited to learn this piece. It's so beautiful and this is very well done. I love it!

She did the very last trill incorrectly. No that big of a deal, but it was suppose to be a half step, and I'm hearing a full step.

@ivorytickler22 Playing it and making it the beautiful lyrical piece that Grieg wanted it to be are two different things, don't you think? I also played it when I was 12/13 because it's not actually "hard to play", but I'm more than sure that my rendition of it was not as mature and lovely as hers is.

@PancakeTutu I very much agree. If you put your mind to it you can eventually learn just about any piece. Making it musical and well performed to where you don't have to think about what you're doing and you just listen as if you're an audience member. You tweak it to what you want to hear you put your heart into it. That's what makes it great.
