the clarity was amazing, but wheres the pedal!?

[JGS007]

Just a different interpretation. I prefer less pedal to feature the internal struggle of the rhythm and to contrast the sound with the second melodic section (around 0:23). Honestly, I think people over-pedal this piece to death in order to cover up their inconsistencies, both rhythmic and melodic.

I like the cleaness of it but.... It sure could use more pedal in the beginning. When i play it, it helps me play the dynamics more expressively :)

also can you slur the notes a little bit more?

Its really good otherwise. I know from experience that its hard to get the 3 against 4 down right. I had to break it up into 12. What'd you do?

[JGS007]

Thanks! I find that most people pedal the hell out of the beginning, completely obscuring the frenetic 4/3 rhythmic relationship. To me, dry = clean, and enables me to control the little swirls of sound within each beat or two. I can stretch an 11th, so I usually finger-pedal the left hand to create an interesting "bottom pedal - top unpedal" effect.

[JGS007]

Practice techniques? I divide it into one-beat groups, and learn where the notes come together on the beat itself. I only play the notes on the beat and leave everything else out. After, I slowly play each group with everything, concentrating on where those notes come together at the top and bottom of each triplet. Hope this helps!

I've watched all of your videos and you are a fantastic pianist.

[JGS007]

Thank you very much! Now I'm motivated to do more!

One of my favorite pieces. Beautifully played. :)

[itsanthonyhere]

Very, very clean man, nice. Especially for an upright like that : ) You'de probably sound pro on a better piano.

[supermaties]

fantastic

i tought i was the only one that wondered why a piano has pedals

[matambale]

Very fine touch. Backing off sustain like that reveals detail and precision. I agree that it sounds a little dry (in places) but it never becomes mush.

[gregar06]

yes i agree, you have exelent technique, but i prefer more pedal, some places are just..so plain

either than that u played it perfectly!

[damndulans]

Well i guess everyone has their own attitude and perspective towards the understanding music.Anyway,it was very very well played.*claps*

[Ze3epo]

No dude. Use more pedal. Some places just sound too dry... But excellent technique n interpretation. it's a shame.

[iPikee]

Your piano has a nice crisp sound.

[SonicEther]

Fantastic interpretation! I'm pretty tired of people pounding this piece out with no refined touch, and you definitely did not murder this piece.
