marvellous!!! well done!!! It's such a hard a piece, but you played beautifully!!!

Just a few things.....Im not sure if you 'accented' the accents in the opening 4 bars....and the concluding ff could be even louder. And may be using a touch of pedal at the chords at the third last bar......

LOL thats just my opinion. I love your interpretation! Bravo!!!

my comments:

from 0:30 be more staccato, at 0:50, play to the top note, make the top note jump out of the piano, make it sparkle and shine

1:39 way more left hand here, you the base to carry the melody, it is a little soft.

2:36 make it more dreamy, listen to debussy for the exact sound

Overall very good performance, really, extremely well.

Just try to add a little more dynamic transitions between the pieces, and you will have a perfect poulenc there!!

@tiranofice Hi thanks for the great comments! I'll most definitely incorporate them into my playing! :D

[archangelz1106]

@tiranofice oh and just wondering if you misstyped the comment at 2:36 cause at 2:36 I only play one note. Do you mean 2:14?

[tiranofice]

yeah, my timings probably weren't accurate :p

[sergeirakmaninov]

You;ve really got a nice touch! Everything Poulenc asks for.There's always room for more color, wit, mystery and playfulness. It's yours now! Thanks for sharing.

[archangelz1106]

@sergeirakmaninov thanks for your compliment! :)

[froufrou06]

COOL!

[gwacemawie]

WOW! i am learning this piece.

how come it doesnt sound like that when i play it !?!?!?!?!?!? ; D

[archangelz1106]

Haha... Takes practice. And lots of it (:

[splesimon]

my piano teacher told me I should learn this, but it's just crazy hard (and you're obviously just crazy good)

!

Is that music I see on the top of the piano! This is quite amazing though. I have a couple of Poulenc videos uploaded on my channel, please view them and give me your opinions.

[gwacemawie]

Who cares if he has music?!??!

He's great. I don't think i could ever play it without music but i guess i'll have to, i'm using this piece to audition for NAU Music camp in the spring

[archangelz1106]

Thanks for the compliments! Actually I had put down the stand so that I won't get distracted by the score haha. Good luck for your audition! :D

[degopulstar]

Good job! I hope to master this piece someday, too.
