Student evaluation video discussion group - Piano Technique Discussions

9 years ago by A Pianist

It has been quite some time since anyone posted anything here, and I am beginning to wonder if I am too honest. Is nobody sending a video of themselves because of fear that I will tear a strip off their technique? I am interested to know this really - it is a serious question! AFF

Your playing has good sonority and stability, and sometimes the r.h. thumb melody comes out enough - but more often, you need to work on it really sounding more distinctly - like trombones.... The other problem is tempo, which here is qu...

Mephisto Waltz

Just tried playing this through yesterday. While it's a hell of a long way from Horowitz (to put it mildly) I was actually quite pleasantly surprised by the overall result. Last time I tried playing it through the bits that didn't feel good were especially audible and many things that seemed okay at the time sou...
