even though this is from 06', first thing i noticed was the pedal was smudging too many notes that should be clearer than what is heard. so if anyone plans on learning this piece, try to master the pedal points to make sure Chopin's masterpiece remains a masterpiece ;)
I would just like to say too all aspiring pianists that it's not about how perfectly you hit every note, but the experience of playing in front of an audience itself that is to be treasured and there is much to learn from each perfomance and anyone who has performed has advanced a great deal! An experienced listener sees the effort of a young person not their ideals.
have you ever heard Horowitz play this piece? it is one of the most moving examples of music i have ever heard. i enjoyed your performance, and it's hardly fair to compare to a master of the twentieth century, but it's hard not to think of vlad...
i learned this etude for that very reason! Ed standing in front of the gate and this song playing in the backround... loved it so much i had to learn it myself
clean up your performance just a bit and it will be lovely. you already have nice technique and a good sense of sound. you're well on your way to becoming an accomplished pianist. good job.
having trained in classical piano for nearly 15 of my 18 years, i feel i can provide a bit of constructive criticism. watch your tempo around the second minute and your fingering; i hear a few sloppy notes. try to be more light fingered so you can "float" across the keyboard. this allows for greater dynamic variation and more emotional appeal. with this piece you want people to feel this bittersweet longing.
You know what "I DON'T CARE" lol! I'm not a pianist or anything like that! I play for fun and I long as I have fun playing I don't care about what others think. If you like it good. If you don't too bad!
but its just that well...u shouldnt post a snide remark every time somebody posts a comment thats not nice, i mean, its true that ur not a perfect pianist, so open up and accept both positive and negative remarks.
Ohh. ok. I think I understand. But the thing is I don't study piano anymore. I only play at church...etc. So it's really hard for me to "become better" or anything like that.
hey thanks, I'm glad you liked how I played. To play that part that you need to nail down, just practice it really slow and without pedal. Then little by little start going faster and add the pedal.
I've been playing since I was 8 years old. I took about 5 years of piano lessons and I still play, but I don't take lessons anymore. So I've been playing for about 11 years already!

the part with all the dissonant chords from like 230 to 300 and then the transition back into the original theme is beautiful
