alanchan1024, I don't think that you should have TOO much of a range on tempo, because in the end the examiners are very experienced at "tempo finding" and quite strict with it. (This is true, one of my teacher's other students thought that one exam piece sounded great slower than the set time on the book after listening to a CD. My teacher agreed as well. But in the actual exam, the examiner said that she played it not fast enough. This could seriously be the difference between passing or not.

[OliverKelly1995]

hey, your really good! could i posibly have a copy of the music??? oliverkelly1995@hotmail.co.uk :)

[zyzll]

thank u very musch , this one is my exam piece, it seems like i really need to practice more

[ben123wright123]

Could probably do with more dynamics, particularly of the quieter sort. Also, i'm pretty sure you're playing it too slow.

[smilesonny]

is this song played with pedal at all?

[IAmRandomBlanket]

@smilesonny I'm guessing it should be played with pedal, it'd seem too staccato if it isn't :/

[coolrocket22]

@smilesonny Don't think so.

[xelarepusuperalex]

wow you learned every piece? nice :S

I'm learning this, i love it :D

[Lisa4794]

I love the way you have played this piece. Makes my playing seem a bit slow at the moment as just started to learn it, but this gives me something to aspire to.

[dylanrwel]

It's a little slow compared to the CD version...

Is it allowed to play this piece this slow? I'm contemplating as to whether i should choose this piece or the Kabalevsky piece C1...

[alanchan1024]

@dylanrwel there is a reasonable range of speed that you may play the pieces in. I haven't listened to the CD. So you can make your own judgement on whether the speed of CD / this video is appropriate to the music.
