BRAVO! I'm been playing for a little over a year and I'm working on this piece now. I'm currently working on the Presto co Fuoco coda (which you did brilliantly, btw), and I'm loving it. Maybe when I'm done with the piece I'll ask you to critique it. That would be cool :)
Hey no problem man, you have some major talent. And I know how you feel, believe me. I have been playing this for ages, and I'm about half way... how do you recommend getting past there.. how long did it take you?
Oh, good luck to you! It'll be an amazing journey I'm sure!
You may not need this anymore, but here is - sorry this is late! First, you want to work on technique as best you can - talent is no use if you can't play the notes! Musically, what I found irksome is shaping the whole piece convincingly - don't get carried away with all the different emotions in segments! Shape the structure. No berserk, sudden tempo changes (except for the coda), don't exaggerate dynamics. And it has to be elegant.
The coda was absolutely stunning! How long have you been working on the Ballade? I'm learning it right now and you're a of great source of inspiration! Cheers from Stockholm!
The emotion is very nice but when faster fingerings are required you lose fluidity, delicacy and accuracy. I watched your other videos as well; it seems that it is pervasive throughout but again your expressiveness is excellent. More practice, finger exercises, you have great potential.
I am so happy you did not rush my favorite part near the end like everyone else does. This is great. It seems like people can manage to get through the whole piece without butchering it too much and then they screw up at the end, even at Carnegie Hall. The thing is, you can't get away with a purely technical performance with Chopin like you can with some other composers. You have to have the right expression, otherwise it just won't work. Well done.
You are clearly up to the demands of this magnificent piece - technically as well as emotionally. The treacherous coda was confidently dispatched and you were thrilling in that plunging downward scale towards the end. Thanks for this.
ahahahahahahah diz perf iz wikid n a very zmooth interp. If u play diz in compz beware da jury inzane hate fo diz piece, tiz a sheeyat dey haff heard 2 million tymz tiz tru. u zhud pozz add zum unique randomnezz to make it ztand out.

This is a great interpretation! I'm currently practicing this piece little by little and you play it very well! Yep, I'm subscribing now and I hope you can do the same^_^.

I wish you'd give more pauses in between the last sections. Also, finally someone who uploaded this and can actually play the presto con fuoco coda.
