@dabbliou I have to admit those arpeggios look difficult... I'm nowhere near that far yet.

[LoftyProduction]

@spina990 hmmm.... your recording then? Let's hear it?

[LoftyProduction]

wtf? out of tune?? it's fine, he just made a couple of mistakes but he isn't rachmaninoff, therefore don't expect him to play as such. Amazing job, 5 stars ... oh wait that's gone. 5 thumbs???

[iluvorange425]

Awsome job!!! You did very well. :)

[teresahan1991]

few mistakes, a day or two pratice will do.

[pianofiend1]

wtf?!! theres only two explanations...... its either your piano hasnt been tuned in 35 years, or you learned this peice in a different key! lol nice playing, but PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF MY EARS, TUNE THE FRICKEN PIANO! Good gracious...

[spina990]

very bad!

[BrandonPiano]

Great job! You played very well and this is definitely not an easy piece!

[dabbliou]

well done, just study more techinque and you'll gliss those arpeggios nicely... this is difficult stuff! bravo!

[halilthe42ndturk]

this is a fantastic performance, i am playing this song and it aint easy, however u could make many improvements, for example, try to put a bit more expression into the song, use a bit more pedal and play ur arpeggios quieter because he wrote ppp. however its not bad overall. keep it up!

[Likeafoxow]

chill out people, this piece is not one bit easy. honestly, its really not as bad as these people say. they know very little of music. listen to plenty of recordings (good ones from good cds) and really note how its played by performers. also, practicing slow for 90% of your time spent practicing on this piece would help a lot. it was a decent job, man.

YOU SUCK

[DoctorChode]

But you play like a zombie.

[DoctorChode]

Your piano has an interesting timbre.

[christian6657]

[MeegMaster]

TUNE IT OR DIE!!!

[djdimsum89]

Well played!

[bachkochuanli]

u might hv some rubato, or else it would sounds very "dead".

2nd, ur balance isn't good enuf, think about the layers, which supposed to bring out more? the melody not really "singing"

3rd, shape the melody line. the middle part u played too loud and i couldn't hear the climax. No direction as well...

one more, clear up ur notes... some parts are abit messy oh.

but overall is ok. keep practicing~! :)
