is the left hand supposed to be detached?

[SavanHaria]

It's up to how you interrupt the bass line... But i was advised to make it detached and i preferred to sound as well. However the version i played didn't have any indications of detachment.

[SavanHaria]

Wicked, i really like them pieces :)

Mine are Praeambulum by Bach and Rondo no. 1 by Bartok and this :)

I'm going to upload my other two pieces in the next following weeks so keep an eye out for them if you want :)

GOOD LUCK with your exam :)

[SavanHaria]

nice playing and lovely roland piano.have you ever played a tune called Blue Air Colour Suite by Margaret Dring,ive been looking all over youtube to see if someone played it.love to get the sheet music of it.

what is that chord on the end?

[airsoft2win]

No offense, and I mean this in all seriousness. I don't think Indians are capable of American Jazz. It's weird. They just don't have the feel. Again, no harm intended.

[PsychotikPandora]

more slow with the accent but the rest is good

[Gabe2710]

what does these grades mean in america??^^

[MrLochanOra]

Sorry, to slow for me.

[MrOlie2008]

This was on the grade 5 jazz abrsm syllabusm, but not quite as thick textured as this...

[dontevenstartme]

Dude! Listen to some jazz professionals playing this. I don't even mean famous ones. That walking bass is far too detatched. Also, in jazz and particularly swing, the accents fall on beats 2 and 4 and your bass line should reflect this. In addition, just because there is syncopation doesn't mean EVERYTHING should be accented. This is completely different from playing anything classical. I mean the notes were all correct but the interpretation was WAY off.

Where did get that piano from? and how much was it?

[TiggertheTiggerful]

I'm takin my grade 2 in june! This is SO hard compared to grade 2!!!!!!!

Bah-bah-doo-bah is REALLY HARD THOUGH!

BTW-I luv jazz music but isn't it meant to be MELLOW? nice job tho.
