yea i know...this was the first performance like 6 months ago, ive worked on it, maybe ill post another video

[Velola93]

thanks...it can be tough if you try to play it super fast while bringing out all the voices, but im working on it still :D

[Velola93]

lol no kidding thats creepy :D

[Velola93]

rofl?...thats me...obviously, why do you ask?

[moozzmclaren]

when you perform.. u concentrate too much on technical aspects to the point that you've forgotten the entire essence of the baroque feel and style. there is not sufficient melodic direction in your voicing of the parts. the perpetual motion is there but lacks the formality and grandeur of the baroque era.

[KoreanPridez]

Not to be mean, but I have some like help I guess you could use. I think you should add more dynamics, and emphasize the melodies. ( as it switches from left to right and right to left) :) and put more emotion into it, don't sit so still. Music is played by the heart. Not the hands.

That was great! You have real talent! Bach would be proud!

[afertyus1000]

very nice the emphasis on the appogiaturiacal melodonote was a litlle sharp but generally the accented acciacatural dysphony was great

sweet

[MrMusicMind1]

PERFECT way to interprete the typical bach polyphonie

[hoasjoe]

Compare to some of the players posted, playing a bit heavy.

Hope you don't mind me commenting on 1 wrong note: after the last chord of the intro FACF where the top sequence of notes go CDCD(hold...) FEDCEF(hold...) the 2nd sequence should be FEbDCEF(hold...) where the first is an E-flat and the 2nd is E-natural (bar 31-32).

About 2/3 down there are 4 long trills heard some glitches in between. Otherwise not a bad student performance. Keep working...

Do practice this piece myself...

[chomskyFTW]

Hey, this is cool! I technically well-done performance. I encourage you to do as you feel you'd like to do with this piece. Insert dynamics and playfulness, but as you'd like it. Don't do what your book says unless you agree.

[Greavily]

Oh and by the way, your technique is remarkable, but you should put more feelings into the music. But hey, you're a good piano-player!

[Greavily]

@witchcraftlord So now we're getting personal? No, really. A musician is someone who plays music, not someone who composes music, that's a composer. Most pianists are very good at playing, but not so good at composing and vice-versa. And why would I be b-shit? I won't post another comment, because I think your ego doesn't deserve that.

[witchcraftlord]

i dont care if you dont believe me, fuck you loser, you afraid to say bullshit? you are fucking bullshit

[Greavily]

@witchcraftlord That's just b-shit.
