Mir gefällt deine Version besser, als die, die ich auf CD habe :)(Vladimir Ashkenazy)

[Nuramon345]

Wow, das is mal n Kompliment. Vielen Dank!!

Ich kenn die aufnahme nich, aber Ashkenazy is ein sehr guter pianist.

Hi.

Also das tück an sich ist ja sehr schön, aber ich persönlich finde, dass du nicht sonderlich gut interpretierst. Die träumeriche Stelle am Anfang war nicht so gespielt. es war ja eher ein mezzoforte, was du da an den tag gelegt hast. Allgemein hat es sich für mich alles etwas gleich gespielt angehört.

[Nuramon345]

Du hast Recht, aber teilweise liegt es auch an der Akkustik des kleinen Raumes und der Kamera.

Schumann's music was not a senseless clatter of notes.

[gtimny]

In m. 12 you're ignoring the "f" dynamic mark written under each of the two chords ending the phrase. You're playing them softer not loud and accented as Schumann writes them. A good careful and thorough re-reading of the score will get you a really improved version. You play too well to be this careless. Best of luck.

[gtimny]

Julian - you need to take a more careful look at the score. The chords are marked staccato except where they are slurred. You're missing slurs where they occur (m. 3 for instance) and slurring where there are no slurs (m. 6, 8, etc.) You're also misreading notes - for instance you're playing D-flat in m. 11 where it should be D-natural (you repeat the mistake at m. 84).

[zuknula]

you coudl play it more clearly.

[pakko89]

more feeeeeling

[cantseetheforest]

A very musical performance . . . your phrasing is very nice, and I think the tempo is appropriate . . . I really wouldn't take it very much faster, if at all. It's generally marked at 108, and nowhere does the score say "Schnell." This piece is basically a march.

If I may offer a few suggestions based on my opinion:

1.) Quieter in the trio - project the melody and the bass. Subdue the accompaniment.

2.) Take more time in the counterpoint section - go slower.

3.) Save some power for the end!

[pinkrg395]

That was really good!

but the tempo for this piece is supposed to be a little bit faster.

Keep up the great work!

[newporttom3101]

Nice interpretation. Very measured. Very thoughtful.

[ShaamanRyu]

this is a lot better than the first recording...but yea...it's been too long since I played this song...so I can't really be one to judge. My teacher got me to play this a bit faster. The adjudicator said that I wasn't lyrical enough...so yea.... Good work though!
