Me playing Chopin Waltz in B minor(no. 10), Op 69 No.2. I'm open to comments and critique.

After reading all the comments, one thing which has made sense to me is that I'm a little abrupt in stopping in one of the attempted rubatos, which F4st has pointed out. If I were to play it again, besides working on the middle section, I will go easy on that rubato. Thanks and keep commenting!

I tried playing the first page of this piece-- I can play the right hand fine and the left hand fine but I'm having tons of trouble putting them together! This has never happened before. Any advice?

[anandramanathan]

You can try playing the right hand along with the base note of the left hand (it goes with the first beat of the rhythm). That way, your left hand will not have to jump, and you might be able to make a start.

B-e-a-utiful :)

First heard the composer off the game Enternal Sonata

Im so glad i brought that game...

it plays most of his composed songs through-out the game. I had to find them

Good Job ;)

First time I'm hearing about Eternal Sonata. Good to learn a new thing. Thanks.

I'm happy you like Chopin. Enjoy.

you need to do more separate practice preferably with a metronome i know you should use rubato but that does not mean out of time just exprssive you also need to vary your dynamics

[anandramanathan]

I guess I overdid the rubato at a few spots to the extent where it lost the original beat. With the rhythm for this piece being simple throughout (and maintained by the left hand), I'm not sure whether a metronome would help. I'd like your opinion on this topic. I felt a metronome is more either for pieces where you need to keep a constant tempo, or where the rhythm is complex.

DYNAMICS!!! way too... bland without it. otherwise, very well played, with minor fingering issues here and there. and your hands are flat - especially the right hand. you'll never make it as a pianist unless you have decent positioning.

Beautiful and thanks to share it

[13surfergirl]

beautiful song, I'm learning how to play it now

[Iamrunescapemember]

I played this easily at 14 year old.

Sometimes , Chopin puts this unexplainabe mysterious, romantic and sad feeling into his songs , very fascinating .

[mkrznar]

It's very good...my advice is for second part i b major, play it little softer to make contrast

[magicprophecy]

I totally agree, you must be a pro.

Wonderful performance!Congrats! I'm learning this piece now, it's labeled very easy, but I find it difficult especially to play it like you do.

Красивая музыка, но в исполнении нет чувств...((((
