My best effort yet on the Bach Aria from Goldberg Variations - started learning this one month ago. Recorded July 31, 2011. Modesto, California, USA. I am hoping to get some feedback on my piano playing - so I can learn. I'm mostly self taught on piano. I was rejected from piano lessons as a child (totally my fault) and I'm trying to learn as an adult, but am afraid of piano teachers - because they might toss me out of lessons again - since I'm not very orthodox in my practicing - no different than when I was a child (which led to being fired as a piano student). Since being kicked out of piano lessons, I took up violin and became a general surgeon. I work with my wife, Dr. Tammy Wu, Plastic Surgeon. Together we have Surgical Artistry - a practice focused on Plastic Surgery and Acupuncture.

Any feedback you can offer me would help me improve - I am learning how to play piano on YouTube! Thank you. I do love playing the piano very much!

  • You are an extraordinarily gifted man. As someone (myself), who started late with piano (age 12) after studying violin, with only a couple of piano lessons,... I have been studying and practicing,(usually 4-5 hrs a day) for about 46 years. You are well advanced over my level! And it seems, musical talent runs in your family! Thanks for not giving up when your teacher fired You!

  • Beautiful interpretation!! Are you by any chance influenced by Glenn Gould's playing?

    Also, if I may ask: do you play by ear? This was the reason I gave up traditional lessons at the age of 12. It was just easier for me to learn my lessons this way but my piano teacher eventually 'fired me' as a result :-)

  • damn dude, you got a beautiful home!

  • Well played, Dr. Calvin Lee! Nice interpretation with choice of tempo, and ornamental notes!

  • I wouldn't worry about not having a teacher until you feel your progress is falling off.

    Very nice.

  • Bravo, Dr. Lee. That was beautiful.

  • Beautiful playing! I love that tempo!!
