I learnt this piece and it took me about a month to get good and a couple more to master. You did well you had a good tempo and played it fairly evenly wich is hard to do
You are very talented :) I hope you still play... this video reminds me of the time I used to play that song and be talented as well, but now I can't play to save my life hahaha Nice work !
You're very talented . The scales in this piece is what gets me but you've nailed the technical part. The excellent tempo and dynamics adds to the perfection of your performance .
I learned this piece in less than a week, and it's so much fun to play!!!! I can go slightly faster than you, but you did very well with this piece. ;)
Well, it probably took a couple of months of me just playing around with it off and on, and then I had a two day piano training session that I focused on this piece prior to the recital. It is definitely a great piece, and very rewarding to play!
@ImmortalVampiricGirl and also i wasnt critizing her. i thought she was an amazing piano player its just that this song isnt really a college song. its more sohighschool i think but the piano player was very talented.
I give you five stars because your passion shines through. However, those people who have comments like "wow your in college? I'm younger than you and I can play this" just know that playing the piano is not about being able to place a certain composition at a certain age. It is about loving the instrument, and the passion and joy you get from playing it. Not being "only 13" and playing a hard piece that a 19 or 20 year old is just learning.
You play very well. but the tempo was quite fast. starting the piece in mysterioso sounds more haunting, but beautiful at the same time, no need for pounding it in the beginning. But in all you are pretty good. (Just don't do it too fast) :D
nicely played, this was the first full time project piece i ever learned after i started piano 10 years ago, love it. i missed hearing it so i looked it up and decided to watch this one, definitely the right choice. thanks for putting it up =]
I personally think it is a little too fast....i know that the dance is something that they said wassomething to be done as fast as humanly possible but the tempo is not humanly.......drive a notch slower and it would be much better.....
And the musical part, maybe a little bit more musical....don't forget to voice and carry the top notes.
It's definitely a good job, but too fast. Even though the music says Presto, one must remember that its a Tarantella... a dance. No one can dance that fast.
The fact that you can play it that fast, however, is exceptional. Great job.
I love the speed 8D it really is meant to be played fast so that it sounds majestic. I think you need to feel your notes more. Sure you follow the dynamics and all but to bring out the piece, feel the notes 8D
Very good performance, my only comment, if anything, would be on the slow section. Try to bring out the melody even more, keeping the rest very quite. Play a sort of duet with the melody and the left hand. Another comment on the main melody when the E is played quickly many times.You might find it easier to play it sort of rotating fingers 5-2, rather than with one which can noticably slow you down. Over all a great performance, fantastic, with very good phrasing. congratulations.
well.. i dont write too much english, aja...i think its a very good piece, my best friend play this song too, but more slowly... its some hard and romantic the midle its good... try to play piano like touch you re girl...with love no angry... i ll like to se many others videos of your performence. :)
Oh hello! I am a young musician, I am 11 just turned 12. My piano teacher gave me this a week ago and I've got 3/4 of the song learned. I am amazed how fast you are playing it. Perhaps, someday I can be as fast. Well, when I do get this song mastered, I will try to put it on youtube. Do you know how to get a video from video camera / camcorder to the computer. Whenever I try to get a video from camcorder/video camera to computer, the computer doesn't recognize the machine. Do you have any tips?
It is a southern Italian folk dance; I believe when people got bitten by tarentullas, they thought they could rid themselves of the poison by dancing very quickly, hence the quick tempo of the genre.
This is amazing. My brother is currently learning this song. and after hearing your awesome playing, I think I would want to learn this piece too. You're super fast, and so cool.
you di GREAT I love the tempo you had going though it had a few problems, the only real noticable thing was when you fumbled around messure 97 but even that was barely noticable.
félicitations pour cette interpretation, une très grande dextérité, juste un peu trop rapide à mon goût. On ne réussi pas à entendre toute les nuances interessantes. Pour l'avoir joué moi-même, je la trouve plus belle moins vite. Mais vous êtes d'un très bon niveau et j'ai hâte d'y être moi aussi.
OMFG! i lyk the tempo... Anyway.. i'm also a FILIPINO... highschool.. studying in School 4d arts in ILOILO (Iloilo NAtional High School -School of the ARTS) i lyk the video :D i can't do that.. maybe my classmayt can... i havent yet master that piece :D
I am a graduate at the University of Santo Tomas conservatory of music in the country of the Philippines. I am a pianist too in fact one of the best ,but I think you are too fast I can be that fast too ,but you should not run. Don't think of these as an insult because you did play very well and I also think you are one of the best in the world.
hey...are you also a filipino??? I'm also a pianist..though i learned only from self-eduation and private tutorial? How's you study in santo tomas? Have you conducted concerts here in the philippines??hehe
When I first played this in my Yr 12 Music class 3 years ago, I played it at around the same speed as yours. My teacher then told me off for playing too fast, to which I pointed out that it's Presto. She then said that it's presto, not insane speed.
i'm a level 1 pianist who quit (i guess that doesn't make me a pianist hahah) but recently i tried picking up piano again as a hobby and i'm going to aim for Taratella a level 1 playing a level 4 song how does that sound? ^-^ i wonder how many months it's going to take me to perfect it lol!!
You're my idol =) i loved how you play the song and this video is gonna be my permenant reference thanks!!
Hello! Well, thank you for your kind words. I think that you will be able to perfect it. It truly is not that difficult of a piece, but it just requires alot of practice to get it up to tempo. I am sure though, that you will be able to grasp it! Just remember to alwaya play with passion. I hope that you will post a video of you playing!
@lurvxforevahmorh (just a question) I play piano to.... although I'm a lot younger than you; hint: I'm younger than 14... Um, I'm practicing that same song. I looked it up to know that I'm playing right. IS THAT REALLY HOW FAST IT IS!? Or are you just taking advantage of how good you are at playing?
I likd ur playing man!jst wndering- were the tempi at which you prfrmed the those set by the composer? Or did you, as interpreter of the music, decide to go faster than prescribed? That's your privilege of course. Still, I suspect that perhaps the beauty of Pieczonka's piece would come out much more, if, just for example the first few measures were played just a little slower to bring out the wonderful descending bass. How about taping another performance at a slightly slower pace?
u have to practice a part with good fingering slow first, then each day get a little bit faster. dont play fast immeadietly. it helps to take away little mistakes that u have. hope it helps.
Good to see someone uploading this unfamiliar repertoire. I recall playing a piece by Pieczonka in a concert a few years ago, but I have never till now seen a performance by anyone else. Well done!
I'm starting to learn this song!!! Its gonna be a while...but totally worth it!!!
