[CashPercussion]

This is very good! Where are you auditioning?

[byoung7]

Nice, what camera did you use to record, I'd like to put up a video of this myself...

[adachir87]

Hope to see you at the audition!!!!  If I even make it through the prescreening process.

[adachir87]

I'm actually working on this for the Manhattan School of Music prescreening for Master's Degree in orchestral performance. I can't play it this fast just yet, but I'm going for perfection!!! On the other hand, you sound great!!!

@adachir87 I wish you luck! I am auditioning there for undergrad! This piece can be played very well and not so well... I've heard the pianos way to loud and no phrasing - just some advice on what not to do hehe :D

[Ericlb]

WOW, control, technique, musicality; great job!

[JasonDeCristofaro]

Beautiful playing - Delecluse is some of the hardest music in that is both technically difficult to execute and musically difficult to convey the sense of pulse with all the rhythmic permutations he jams in there. You did a really nice job communicating both to the listener.

great job! smile more when you play!

[myriad2010]

Pretty stellar. My lesson teacher told me while I was working on this that all of the Delecluse etudes have a sort of groove to them, and the hardest part of performing them is making that groove obvious to the audience whatever ridiculous rhythmical passages he throws in there. Just another way to think about it.

[marimbamarcy]

@myriad2010 Yes! People often say of Delecluse solos being "hard to feel", but it really depends on how much character you put in it! I definitely try to incorporate this and hope to become better at it.

1st off, you did an amazing job! Great dynamics especially. And I agree about the notes being crammed a bit. But that is possibly the only thing at all wrong with this solo. Great playing!

[adachir87]

Also, 1:06 is out of time.

[adachir87]

However, check your time. There are couple places where you tend to cram all the fast notes. 0:53 is a good example. I don't know if you are doing it under musical consideration but. Practice with a met too. Overall, very good!!!

[adachir87]

Your consistency is amazing at the soft dynamics.

[vicfirthmen]

really nice job, good control of dynamics.
