Nocturne in C# minor Opus Posthumous - Frédéric Chopin
First of all, I know this interpretation sucks. Thank you to all the positive feedback, whether it was genuine or not. But even the most flattering words do not change the fact that the critics are correct. (And truth be told, I am chief among them.)
Don't feel bad, I'm just an amateur. If I were a professional pianist who did this for a living, this would be horrendously embarrassing. As it is... I'm probably 15-20% satisfied with it.
You have to admit though, the first minute or so is at least decent. From there it goes steeply downhill. Especially 2:15 to 2:35. (wtf?)
I also have to mention that while the critics are correct as far as the rhythm, legato, feeling and interpretation, I must explain that I recorded this video with a less than superior microphone that did not pick up volume changes worth a damn. That, on top of the generation loss when the vid was transferred to YouTube makes the piece sound WAY louder than what was originally played by me. Most of the piece is actually quite soft and it just did not translate well to YouTube. Yes, it still was probably too loud when I first played it anyways, but I just wanted to explain that so you don't get the impression that I am COMPLETELY incapable of dynamics. ;)
So... even though this is terrible, thank you for all the views. 50k and counting! :)

the tempo is not very consistent.i would focus more on putting more emotion into the music.. as opposed to trying to move your body (as you are beginner) right now it's not very consistent (ur body movement..) on the easy parts you move quite a bit. then on the more difficult parts you are concentrating so hard that ur stiff and glaring at the keys
However, the trills are not bad, despide some misplayed notes, but I still think that you have to work with the right hand to check the notes' grouping of the long passages in the end, because they sound rather unclear. And remember to tune your piano (or change the position of the camera) when recording, because it is important here also. Good luck and keep working. You will certainly do it, because the general idea is very good!
Quoting B.Dvarionas (famous Lithuanian pianist): 'The rubato is more like a spring, which lenght is fixed', but it is a spring, so you can allow some deviations, where necessary. The same here. What is more, work with dynamics very much, because you play too loud in the entire piece. Remember the differentiation of hands, what means you must diminish the volume of your left even more than the right.
I'll be critical about this piece. Always look at your posture and gestures, because they are very funny, but needless in the beginning and look very awkward. What's more, playing Chopin means playing NUSSAINCES, what is hardly heard in your playing. Keep strictly to the tempo and remember, that RUBATO is a only a SLIGTH deviation, returning BACK to the original tempo.
O sea, no se porquè decis que es horrible? te juro, ojalà pudiera ejecutar un poquito como vos, es decir, yo no ejecuto el piano pero me encanta, puta boludo, si sos amateur y tocás asi, no quiero ver si sos profesional...muchas felicidades, en serio...
Great interpreatation adn what a style!!! Nice style !!!!! i really like it you got a realyy nice style man!!!!!! seriously ! im learning this piece and i take as example this video ! jajaja
