paja PRELUDE IN G MINOR - RACHMANINOFF

[dhfeld]

Cool piece, isn't it. Nicely played.

I think you would benefit from upping the speed of the first and third sections at lest a little bit. Then the lyrical middle is set off a bit more by contrast. Pushing the speed on this piece is hard, I know. But it is written as a march and perhaps it could benefit from sounding a bit more military.

[H8Tube100]

But women crack me up playing the piano dressed a little slutty, at least your dresses are not shorty short, and then when men call them out on it, they block them, and start pre-approving comments. They ask for it, and when they get what they're asking for, they complain. WTF? lol

[H8Tube100]

Must be fun to sit down in your house and be paid for making piano videos. Not a bad deal. LOL I like your playing, but it's average. The men love it because you're pretty. I saw a woman who couldn't play worth beans, and made so many errors, but all the men loved her playing only because she was pretty. Men. Their brains drop into their pants.

[lisztlisztlisz]

good!!!!

[Tuck213]

Well played, I love the piece. Especially the climax after 3:00 is a delicacy to the ear.

[luciik233]

Good job! :) jak už dloho hraješ?

[sarettaeilpiano]

troppo lento e poca musicalità

[shyriu1980]

Theme really famous ...

Brilliantly executed .... nice.

Congratulations.

I repeat ... you're talented ... ;) So I'll stop. :p

[paja314]

@shyriu1980 Really thanks! Have a nice time :)

[WECantThink]

Thanks for posting! It sounds as if you are playing it 1/2 speed. This is not so bad. It is really difficult. But the feeling is really nice. Listen to Lagansky or Lisitsa or Belinska. Are they unwordly or what????

[paja314]

@WECantThink Feeling is the only thing I can give into this piece, speed never be my strong page :D I know that it isnt so fast at the video but for me when I am playing it I dont know where should I play firstly and person try to do the less mistakes he can :)

Thank you!

[pacoo75]

The future Valentina Lisitsa ! ;-))

[paja314]

Thank you so much :) It's interesting how everybody has different opinion. I read one comment that I play without soul here only mechanically. But I don't think so.

This took me about 2 months to record it. Once more thanks :)

[krica789]

Kdybych takhle hral taky klasiku :) ,,,ale to ja bohuzel jen tu svoji improvizaci a jazz :) Krasnyy :)

[paja314]

Muzes, jen je to zdlouhavejsi nez zaimprovizovat :D Improvizovat muzes hned, ale tohle se ucit tydny, ne-li mesice. Ja bych zas chtela umet improvizovat a ten jazz bych si taky zkusila, aspon by mi pak lidi nerikali, ze hraju same vazne veci :D

Dekuju moc :)

[esteffanoss]

[pcma1970]

[paja314]

This piece is so difficult! Learning the octaves in the RH almost killed me!

Maybe one day I'll catch you playing a concert here in New York City!

[paja314]

New York City it is near :D I think I will rather see you having a concert in Prague :)

Playing the octaves also killed me :D I had an inflamation of sinews after it and still it isn't much ok...thank you for comment, now I will have a look at your profile :)

[canada30a]

NO it is NOT! I found it rather easy! :D It all depends on ABILITY! :-) Want hard? try:

Liszt - Grand gallop chromatique! :P

[Apokeus]

Pekne zahrane! .. ma to cit :) .. jen mozna trosku rychlej. ..

[paja314]

dekuju :) to jsi jediny, komu se to zda rychle, me lidi pisou ,ze je to spis pomalu :D hold kazdy to citi trosku jinak.

[F22L3]

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL

[paja314]

:))

[1aadumlao]

Videos like this discourage me from practicing--j/k. Amazing talent. I'd be happy to play at 50% of your level.

[paja314]

I am sure, you will reach all you wish if you really want :) Practicing is hard work but after then it is a great feeling :) Thank you very much adumlao :)

[AK410]

speed it up just a little bit and it will sound PROFESSIONAL!

Keep it up! and show your face more!

[paja314]

I don't like showing my face much, haha :D Thank you very much, I will try to speed it up a little bit it could be possible if I will play it again, because now I have broken pinkie on my left hand ;(

[tatsuo5377]

You are a very cool pianist & Awesome xD I want to play the piano like you,too ^^ Playing the classic tunes is the my goal.

[paja314]

Thanks and good luck in playing classic music :)

[b2rya4nt]

I want to see you work the pedal:)

[grdnzrnic]

that would be the key of A minor for trumpet: no C or G sharp

[whitesnake57]

[paja314]

[Drunk3nFist]

Nice work! :D

[paja314]

Thx :D

[Alex200204]

Nice! But I think you can play it better....it does´nt sounds 100% Rach...and i guess it has to be a little faster isn´t it... but congratulations......play Rachmaninov is something to be proud of....Keep practicing!!! and lady........where are your shoes?

[paja314]

Yes, I am proud of it. This is my first piece from him...thanks :)

[Merliiik]

Super pájo, klobouk dolů...

[paja314]

I thank you :)

[paja314]

Thanks my friend :)

[kpj911]

Well, you play it GREAT, everything can't be better, except the fact that you turned this prelude into a nocturne.. i'm not talking about the speed, but about the character of the piece. It is a march! don't forget about that :)

Everything else is brilliant! :D Thank you.

[paja314]

Hi :)

Thank you so much! That's nice to read your opinion, because I know that you played it too. I have listened it several times at your profile.

I will do a nocturne from every piece haha :D

Have a nice day.

[pob1973]

Very nice. I can hear that your practicing is working! Keep playing the beautiful music.

[risamei]

Judyesther

[paja314]

Thank you :)

[AndraNature]

Great! Wow! This seems a hard piece, you manage great! I wish i can play like you, but i need time for more practise. How much you practise per day? I agree with Anindya, you done your homework well. :)

[paja314]

Thanks!!

Yes, for me it is quite a hard piece, but after long practicing everything become easier :)

Well, I practice about 1 hour/day, sometimes a little bit more sometimes I don't play because studying has to be at first place. I also wish to have more time for practicing :(

[givemetime123]

Hi Paja

Very good job, because these piece is a little bit difficult, and you play it very well ; i think you can play it a little bit faster with more dynamic and it will be "perfect".

PS : Your nocturne by Copin is very good too.

See you soon

Amicalement Philippe from France

[paja314]

Hi :)

Thank you for your opinion. I think I can't play it faster..this is how I can the fastest, maybe if I would have more time for practicing...

Have a nice day :)

[InnocentMalin]

wow just now I finished my work at the office and looked into YouTube and I found this, thank you so much !!!! :-)

It's so refreshing to hear, just perfect for me now! ^_^

Dekuji!!

Have a nice evening,

~Anindya~

ps : If you have to play this for the next class, then you have done your homework well!

[paja314]

Thank you very much :P

I have been practicing this piece quite a long time :) so I am happy you liked it.
