  • THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BONATAS!

  • i wish the sound quality was better, you play wonderfully :)

  • I am learning the revolutionary right now, and I think that at the rate you are going, you'll be able to learn it in the two years that you've proposed to yourself.

    The piece that I learned before the revolutionary was "Wedding Day at Troldhougen by Edvard Grieg". It had some places with a pretty demanding left hand, which is now helping me a lot in the revolutionary. It's a fun piece to learn. You should give it a try.

    Good luck on your quest.

  • 3. As you're not bringing the 2/2 time very well, the melody at bar 5 is also very dragged out and doesn't have much of a flow to it. This should hopefully be better if you manage to fix the other issues I mentioned.

    Hopefully I've helped a bit. All the best to you in your quest. Even if you don't reach the Revolutionary, I'm sure you'll be able to take in alot of great music. Just don't be impatient even if it takes more than two years. Appreciate what you were able to learn.

  • 2. The arpeggios need to be more quiet so that the melody starting at bar 5 is not obscured. Right now, they're a bit loud. Note that the arpeggios are both accompaniment and melody at different parts of the piece. At bar 5 for example, it is accompaniment, but there are sections (I can't remember the bar numbers) where it takes over the melody.

  • It's a very ambitious goal you have, and I see you have great dedication towards it.

    However, I need to make a few suggestions about this particular piece(Please excuse me as it will spill over to more than one comment):

    1. You're playing the arpeggios almost as if it were in 12/8 time. You need to bring out the triplet rhythm more, as this piece is in cut (2/2) time. Try counting 2/2 in half-beats ("1 and 2 and 1 and 2 and..." ) - each arpeggio must take exactly a half-beat.

  • This was pop music before pop music. Was and always will be a brilliant piece of music. Nice playing.

  • B sharp sharp minor is best key!!!

  • One of my favorite bonatas.

  • lol at the title! It caught my attention. Overall, it's good, just try to connect the arpeggio passages because it sounds choppy.

    Very good progress in 1 year. I hope you reach your goals!
