wah~~ nice song!! i like! hmm.. i noe tis song from my history class... & im having listening to symphonies, etudes, sonata, prgramme music ..etc.. 2mrw!! i wan learn tis pieces oso!! haha!
I'm on my way learning this beautiful piece as well. But i have a question to the technique: When theres the first reprise of the theme (the octaves) he sort of "jumps" when the left hand has the turn. I play it always in the "typical" way (such as fingers 5 - 1)? Thanks for information...
I think its about 45 seconds. It's hard to tell you that in english, you know. Um.. It looks very hard not to be off on mark, when you "jump" with your left hand. But it seems to be more comfortable, because your arm's not in the way. I play it always equal to the right hand. I hope you understood what I mean. So can you tell me, why you do so and if its easier to play? Thanks :-)
Well, I'm glad to finally seesomeone else struggle in the same places as I do. I will say, however, I think you should nix some of the showmanship (just an impression I get) in favor of toning it down some. A little slower, smoother, quieter. After all, it is "a sigh", not a scream. :-)
Jeux d'eau is not as idiomatic as Liszt to play. A lot of stretches across the piano keyboard, and all the while you need to maintain the lightness in quality and colors.
Good job with Liszt. Try to make it more beyond time, i.e. take your time. And a sense of direction with phrases where any phrase is going. One version of Jeux d'eau I like is by Andre Laplante (Ravel)
Excellent playing. Enjoyed it greatly. Since you play it better than I do, I'm hesitant to say it, but you do need more variation in color. Marc Andre Hamlin has a fantastic version at YouTube. Very sensitive. Played as a real Hush. Whisper. Post more, please.
elevateme: I made this video at University in the concert hall there. I do not have a Steinway Grand myself but I (like many others) would adore to own one someday.
celach: Thats a very good point about the Left Hand crossovers. I think the action needs to be more controlled and relaxed to prevent the loudness.
fair enough if you think that, but quite frankly i thought it was awesome. im not exactly knowledegable about this kind of music (im 19 and into hip hop. can you point me in the diection of artists/composers/piano instrumentals, or any advice what to listen to and the different style what they are culture etc???? sorry for asking a lot!
if there are dynamic issues i think u know what imperfections are what make art interesting, although this is probably not true of classical? PEACE OUT/
Onething I noticed is that when your left hand crosses over your right to press a key, you always press it louder. I know its kinda hard to avoid that, though. Great performance.
at 1:38 try playing the octavas with both hands.That should make your life a lot easier.

Thanks Roxana, :) can you try and be a little more specific on the problem your having? Which time in the video is it?

basically...the left hand crosses over and the sensible fingering for it to do is something like a 3,2.
It would be both uncomfortable and inpractical to do a Left hand 5-1.....because that makes the Left hand stretch further than it has too.
The edition I have also suggests 3,2.
Also, you can try touching your Left Hand 3 and 2 fingers together and trying the leap like that...this should make it more stable for you.
Is this helpful?

Is this piece harder than Jeux d'eau?
shentri 4 years ago
not sure but i know jeux d'eau is a real beast to play...lots of hand sharing techniques to deal with...it's probably tougher.

Good job on this piece... One of my faves...
Although, try to play the melody more beautifully, don't hit it too hard to make it sound so harsh...

I like the piano very much! A really nice grandpiano tune!
U played it well too, but IMHO your tempo is slightly too fast....
Try to play it more relaxingly and put some feelings into it.
KUDOS !!!
