Alkan: Concerto for piano solo 1st mov.(Trial Recording)

No description needed about this work, maybe. Too long to master completely. So I should try again and record the rest movs.


Anyway, Happy New Year! (Japan gets re-newed years faster than Euro and US)

Did you have trouble with this piece's fingering?

[kaki0genkin]

@MoonMankkkkkk Well... I can't remember at now. I'll tell you if I got remember.

[FlyingBlackAndWhite]

and please get a better camera ><

I want to hear your good playing in HIGH QUALITY because you very much deserve HIGH QUALITY.

[kaki0genkin]

@FlyingBlackAndWhite Yes, I know it's better, but financial and technical matter exists. And I can't think of it before thinking of improving my performance itself.

Incidentally, this is the 'newest' video camera in the late in 90s, a reach-me-down from my parents. I use it since my debut on YouTube.

Well done, keep up playing Alkan! After first listening, I'd have only one question: why did you use pedal at 24:50-25:00 and 25:40-26:00? I do understand that it sounds quite orchestral to sustain the lower chords there, and pedal is expedient later (25:03-25:36), but it's noxious at the beginning as almost nothing can be heard from the fiendish repeated notes. Sustaining the lower chords with the middle pedal would be a solution, I think. (I don't wanna make your job even harder, though :O)

[kaki0genkin]

@madlovba3 Well, it seems better, I'll refer to, thanks!

@madlovba3 I wonder why the opening chords thru (at least) :40 and into the development are so dry. The score calls for marcato on the opening chords, not staccato. Both Hamelin and Ogden hold these quarter notes for their duration. Don't get me wrong: this is a fine performance for an amateur and I send best wishes; I just like it a little less dry :-;

[Hana98mana]

How many times do you practice?

So good...

I want to playing the piano like you!

[ReptilianRaep]

@FlyingBlackAndWhite Money doesn't just appear out of thin air

[Sorcerer88]

awesome, great performance! it must be an odyssey to learn this. you're probably right, too much for an amateur to master it all. too bad about the last melody note at ~8:24. other than that, sugoi!

[4candles]

WELL...DONE!!! Great achievement for any pianist, let alone an amateur (technically speaking). I have another piece I would be interested for you to look at - I will email it to you.
