I adore Barber, and this is one of my favorites. Being ambitious (and arrogant), I bought the music years ago, took one look at it, and put it away. I'll leave it to old hands like you!

not an easy piece to play. I'm no piano person, but I think you did the interpretation justice. 12-tone stuff is tricky.

It does seem that you needed to give the piece a bit more time to mature, but I understand how these concerts rush up on you and you are never prepared fully. You clearly have a good technique and very relaxed style, the fast passages were very clean. The biggest critisism I have is how you slowed the tempo so much in the hard part int eh middle with the octaves, you slowed it just a little to much to claim it as being rubato and it sounded a bit out of place. Well done :)

Overall a great job. Academia tend to overlook Barber because of the overwhelming success of the admittedly slightly cheesy and backwards-looking (yet beautiful) Adagio for Strings. If they would look a little harder, however, they would find that he also wrote music as complex as his contemporaries. For example, take a look at the right-hand staff in the Nocturne - it's all 12-tone.

I'd like to thank you for your kind comment. It is easy for all of us to judge harshly without considering individual aspects and situations that influence performance. It's also funny that those who are quick to judge harshly, for the most part, do not play or perform themselves...

well, thanx for commenting. I have to agree. I did a sloppy job. I don't have an excuse, but I do have a reason...I put my senior recital together in a rush..it was a total of 45 min of music, and there were was other music I was really pressured to memorize.
