Pieces Breves Faure Grade 7 piano

[joaormedeiros]

so jazzy, isnt it?

[ColinMitchellMusic]

yeah, you're right!

[TheRedEyedGirl]

aww this is so beautiful, is it okay to send me the score/sheet music for this piece? i cant seem to find it anywhere

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Sorry, I don't have it anymore. It's out of last year's ABRSM Grade 7 book...

[Harry34186]

@ColinMitchellMusic i wish i had that to play this year! :( piece of shit book that i have right now! :(

[omguanyin]

i like how his finger curve =(

[doomsday968]

can i play this song faster? is it wrong?

[KeysLavr]

it looks/sounds easy, why is it grade 7?

[ColinMitchellMusic]

I have no idea!

[spiked0fox]

@KeysLavr For the technical aspect. This piece's difficulty is not about hitting a bunch of notes at high speed, but playing the notes with passion, power, depth, and emotion.

[elsinablee]

hi,colin ! i play this piece ofr my test next week. u played it well ! god job.

btw,i played it with different tempo. i played it slower :) and for me,it's also good. i can get the feeling with slower tempo than faster. myb u should try to play with slower tempo :) but yours is good :)

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thanks elsinablee! Good luck with your test!

[hutyilo]

Well played. However, u re missing the french feeling to this piece.

I also enjoyed ure piano....wat brand is it?

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Its a Kemble....Yeah, I know what you mean, the essential flavour is missing on this recording...

[chaz567123456789]

Nice playing wooooo! But get rid of the metronome and let loose more of the passion!!! (and i thought it was a little slow) nice!

[nicsevern]

it was perfect... maybe too perfect

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Well, it ain't perfect for sure! But thanks!

[heidikkchen]

geez, everybodys better than me...):

[blueted1993]

Wow that sounds great! Im doing this for Grade 7 and I love it (except those darn triplets O_O). I really like your intepretation though :D

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thanks for your kind comment!

[sharnu]

Hi. I'm Grade 7 too, taking the exam this Feb. I didn't play the Faure piece but I'm playing the Grovlez sarabande, though I've heard this a lot. I would have thought it to have a lot more rubato and expressivo pieces, but maybe it's the quality of the mike such that I can't hear much dynamics, though I think it's a bit too straight in terms of rhythm and tempo. Maybe a bit more liberal with the expression. But the sound is nice though!

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Yeah,I know what you mean. I know this might sound like excuses, but the automatic limiter on the camcorder mic kept readjusting the levels, so it sounds like there are no dynamics! I agree though that more rubato would make this piece work better.

[chicouk]

hiya colin, do u use the sustain pedal for this piece (or in grade 7 in general)

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Hi Chicouk -yes, I do!

[mlc2181]

what is the name of this piece?

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Andante Moderato

No. 5 from Pieces breves Op. 84 by Faure

[groovyzebra]

This is brilliant! Your piano has a wonderful sound and superbly played!

I'm thinking of doing this piece for my grade 7 - not sure yet though as I like most of the B pieces :P

Well done!

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Hi Marion and thank you so much for your lovely comment! Good luck with the choices you make for your grade 7! -Colin

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Hi Robert and i really appreciate you leaving that lovely comment! Would love to hear you play sometime so do let me know if you ever post a video of your piano playing on You Tube! -Colin

[bannaych]

Wow this is beautiful im robert im in grade 6

[panztrix840]

its brilliant recording but some of the last notes are incorrect. look at the last three bars.

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Oh yeah - in the left hand it needs an E sharp to G sharp in the semiquavers where I have played a C sharp to E sharp-oops, silly me:-) Well spotted!

[wkdangel]

love it! Perfect tempo :-D

it seems slightly slower than the CD I've heard but I think you bring out the feeling of this piece beautifully!

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Oh thank you wkdangel for such a nice comment:-)!

[TheGamersUnite]

very talented :)

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thank you!

[vocaldudejingjie]

wow really nice playing! i am playing this piece for my grade seven exam in a month's time too.... but i really like your playing, i find it better than the recording cos the way you play brings calmness... :P

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thanks for your nice cooment, vocaldude! Good Luck with your Grade 7 exam! -Colin

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thanks for listening, NotForAbuse !

[NotForAbuse]

Wow o.o It is really like the recording in the CD . Nice

[CandyCXT]

i like your triplets.........so nicely played

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Oh, thanks, Candy :)!

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Hi Baltointhe Black and many thanks for your really nice comments.

[BaltointheBlack]

Absolutely flawless. I had a little trouble with the timing when I started learning this but it's lovely to hear it played properly :) Thank you for such a great performance.

[stevey226]

Hey Colin =) once again you've amazed me. I was going to choose this one for my exam but I chose B2.

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thanks Stevey . B:2 'La Sarabanda' is a really nice choice.

[musicusblau]

Excellent playing and the sound is clear and brilliant! Bravo!

[ColinMitchellMusic]

I admire your playing so much so that is such an uplifting comment from you -Thank you!

[ColinMitchellMusic]

I'm not taking the exam but thanks anyway:-)

[PalzLandPure]

it is no doubt you play that well. in fact i think you are a wonderful player and i also thik you have very good potential. i am also playing this for grade 7 and i thought there were not so many pedal markings, only at certain bars and it sounds a little to loud....but i think you still play very well. Your technique is superb!

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thanks for your comment ,PalzlandPure.

I agree this video does sound loud - this is mainly due to the camcorder mics automatically raising recording levels during quiet passages. This was my first Youtube video and I got the sound level problem sorted out on all my subsequesnt videos.

[PalzLandPure]

oh okay...anyway..you're great! Good luck for your grade 7

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thank you Aiofe92. Good Luck with your Grade 7 !

[aoife92]

beautiful. i love faure. i will be learning this for my grade 7. you play it really nicely.

[LillyC68]

So nice...thanks and all the stars for you!

[ColinMitchellMusic]

Thanks LillyC68 :-)

[HezProductions]

Wow ! Great Playing !

I wish I was as good as you !!
