Khachaturian - Andantino

This is a short piece, full of beauty and nostalgy. I imagine it in the world of the childhood, as a sorrow, as little children can have, not so important, but for them, so important...The theme begins with 2 descending notes on the right hand, and tells a short intimate story. This story changes at 1 min 10", with these 2 notes, but ascending this time, with a dancing rythm, not completely joyfull, not completely sad, between the two. I like the mix of these two emotions, because in life, this is what happens many times. At the very end, the piece ends with these 2 notes played this time together, as a unification of these two emotions. For me it is as the sound of a bell-glass, with a bit of humour, as a wink. After all, this sorrow was not so serious...

You played it very well. And your "explanation" (or "analysis") of the piece is nice. I'm glad to see how many peoples watched your performance. (over 15000 at this moment)

@fredchen9999 thanks. you like it faster. in my opinion, it's more intense (and more difficult to play it) in a slow way. kind regards

@fredchen9999 disagree, i think it's just right in terms of tempo!

[CarlaBertomeu]

It's brilliant! but I think a little bit faster would be better :)

[fredchen9999]

@HiramPianoo yes, you are right...moreover, it's more feeling :)
