War by Vince DiCola on piano

I performed this yesterday (April 3rd, 2009) for an event my school sanctioned, called the Young Artists' Festival. I learned this piece, which is written by Vince DiCola and not by me, all by ear, beleive it or not, by listening to the official recording many, many times. It took me about three straight months to get the entire piece nailed down.

Everyone in the audience was pretty much speechless.

You seem like a potential pro so I'll be totally honest. You were very good for a young guy but you need to exercise more restraint on the keys 'too many notes my dear mozart' 'the brazenness of youth'.

Don't classic it up so much, silence is one of the greatest musical instruments. Also many of the chords and notes were incorrect, it seems like you replaced vinces' with your own ideas? but I don't think it's a good idea for you to second guess vince dicola. other than that pretty good.

thanks for the criticism, i need as much criticism as possible.

i know a lot of the notes werent like vince dicola's recording, but thats cause i learned it all by ear, and nothing i learn by ear is absolutely perfect. sometimes im not sure how a part goes so i try my best to imitate what would sound good.

and also, "too many notes my dear mozart"- wasnt that from the movie amadeus?

[LusterPurge94]

thanks! ;-)

idk, i guess april is the music month... and no my school doesnt give awards for any performances.

also, to eliminate confusion, apparently, there's also another official music event called "young artists festival," but this is not that. this is a private event held by my school once a year only.
