@CorelliChopin08

I am so sorry to reply this late, somehow I decided to check unread comments and it's overwhelming. You've probably already mastered the piece by this time haha. Still need advice?

Hi! I haevn't been playing for very long either. I have had about four years of piano training total, two of those being more serious. And I just thought I would say that your musicality in this performance is incredible and I hope you know that your tone production/quality surpasses your years. I myself am now a piano performance major after years of intesne "catch-up". Just keep practicing!

Teacher here - just thought I'd point out that camcorders constantly normalize audio, so quiet spots sound much louder than they are, while louder spots sound quieter. This is ideal for recording speech, but terrible for recording music. FYI, she was very quiet in the first bars of the piece.

I couldn't imagine having 16 year old girl hands and playing this piece lol, good work.

Less pedal in a lot of places would've been greatly appreciated. Also, pay attention to the dynamics. In the main utterance of the theme you go at least as loud as "mf" in the second bar. There are a few other places with slips. It actually takes away from the build up to your climax on the second page.

All in all, some good work here.

Maybe you could record a new version of this song as you say you have improved a lot, and then I could see if I still have some suggestions to make :)

[lst9162]

Thank you for the feedback!

I'm still practicing this piece (much better), preparing for a competition this coming Feb.

So if you have any other suggestions...Please! I take them all :D

one small detail, I don't think you're playing the two big arpegiated chords at the end correctly; you might wanna play the first 4 notes with your left hand, the next 4 with your right hand, and the last 2 with your left hand crossing over your right. Also, you should have played a B allong with the G at 1:19, the B being played by your right hand while your left plays the G, but you've probably already corrected this if you took note of nematodex' comment!
