Chopin 1st Piano concerto e minor 1st mov. 1st part

[RedSoxWSAgain]

wayyyyyy too fast man. You're technique is fabulous but seriously doesn't sound like this thing even has a chance to breathe. I've never hear anyone take it this fast and while interpretation is up to each and every person this is a fair example of abusing it lol.

Thanks for your comment, "Fast" and "feeling" are very relative terms. You said you never heard anybody taking it this fast, but there are tons of famous pianist that play it even faster than me (e.g., Argerich) and yet some people love it. I do not expect everybody to like the way I play it, after all thats the beauty of "music" and "art" in general. I admit I play it faster than average andI admit It could be improved (I am not perfect), but to me my interpretation is far from being abusive.

The pedal was a bit too heavy. It's Chopin, try to play legato rather than use the pedal as much as possible unless otherwise directed. :)

@712Stephen Thanks for your comment. Actually the reason it sounds like I use too much pedal is because of the low quality microphone i used, the distance between the micro and the piano, and the hall itselft (too much echo). I have another version of this (in a practice room) where you could actually hear that I don't really use much pedal at all.. it all sounds too dry in my opinion (just the opposite of this) I know right now it sounds too crowded... lol, I am glad somebody mentioned it.
