  • WHERE is the subject?! The whole of the fugue is just randomly accented. I assume the child is about ten, so it's still impressive, but please can he try to accent the various voices? It just sounds like a wall of sound.

  • actually, I'm a bit older than that, but this is what nerves will do to you--I actually DID try and make something out of the subject, but everything went to pot when I actually started playing because I was SOOO nervous. Maybe you can understand my age better when you watch one of my...better piano videos. :)

  • But you're also right that my back was not very good--my teacher kept patiently working with me on not accenting so randomly, but it's just an artifact of my unsatisfactory technique. But thanks for such a constructive comment! It's much more than I can say for those comments like "I loved it!" or "I hated it!".

  • cant you see hes the man let me hear you applaud he is more than a man hes a shiny golden god if you think its time to fuckin rock and fuckin roll out of control then you know its time to rent the block you freakin suck my freakin cock

  • Good effort! But very difficult piece to perform in front of an audience. It's been ~10 years since i played in a recital such as this. But I remember I always chose pieces that were "too" easy:) Once nervousness kicks in, fingers stop working properly.

  • it was a good playing,,i know you could do better:) ...bach pieces are actually difficult to play if you dont know how to memorize it but it's exciting if you already know the notes...just keep up the good work and read music literature books :)

  • Sorry I was so critical. The notes are there, but in Bach, the notes are the boring part of learning the piece. The fun starts when you begin to decide how you want to play, and what you think is important in the work. Keep it up!
