I'm going to help myself.

I've had enough of feeling sorryfor myself, here's an old piano vid of me.




Ps, regardless how young you think I am, I AM 13.

That's the spirit. Just make sure you aren't running away from it; that'll do more harm in the long run.

Nice. How long have you been playing the piano? My mom is making me start taking lessons again this September.

[s0ulst0n3]

After I heard what had happened to you, listening to that made me cry a little, I couldn't even finish watching/listening to it. This is such a sad time for you, and I feel for you.

this comment is also unnecessary because it's a serious thing -.-

I can't play piano for ****. The only thing I can play are a few scales, mary had a little lamb, and thats about it. I can play clarinet pretty well though.

Been playing for Five years, I love this piece.

[moches]

Good for you. It'll really help in the long run. Glad to see the beginning of your recovery and I hope you grow from this experience.

EDIT: Oh snap, 800 posts baby!

LOL For a second I thought that was a piece of paper with a pencil on it dropping ink, with an electric keyboard extending from the ink... WOW that's sad...

It's funny because no-one's mentioned the name of the piece.
It's called Fantasie, by Wien.

Andante
Be careful with your timing. You tend to use too much rubato in the introduction. With the second set of sequences, don't hold the right hand notes for too long, especially the last set. Your arpeggios tend to sound sharp when you reach the peak. Don't crescendo too much; this is only the introduction. Make sure to keep your finger on the last note of the introduction. Don't let it go, relying on the pedal. It is a bad habit to let go and hold onto the pedal; the richness dies away from the note.

Adagio
First note on the left hand was too loud. The demi-semiquavers in this section aren't that fast; keep in mind that this is adagio. Your melodic line should be singing. Even though it should be singing, you must take a pause when there is a crotchet or dotted quaver rest. To make an effective use of the rest, the last note of any phrase must sound as soft as possible. Second octave in your forte section should be soft and not have an abrupt end.

When you are switching between the left and right hand sequence, the melodic line is on the right hand, not the left. Too much focus on the left hand will change the response into the subject. Your tempo changes when you play the thirds and fourths before the repeated 'E' section. It should only contain a small rubato at the end of the phrase, with a small dimuendo.

Your repeated 'E' section contains too much of an accent on the E's. Your thumb should and your left hand should be louder than the soprano voice. A little less of that voice and it would be great. Slightly too fast with your demi-semiquavers again. You also tend to left go of your left hand. If you look at your score, you would see that the E octave almost stretches the entire bar. The break between here and the next modulating section needs a shorter break.

Ok, this section was alright. When there are slurs with rests after it, you must have a stacatto ending unless otherwise specified. Your dynamic range doesn't differ very much, but I like how you played the bass very well. The ending shouldn't have had the great bass note with the treble soft note. It sounds too foreign for an ending. Keep both hands as soft as a possible. It is the end of the phrase and modulated section. With a controlled rubato, it will flow very well.

We come back to section 'A'. Although you need a crescendo and slight acceleration, you emphasise both these terms a bit too much. Needed a greater range of dynamics instead of the sudden crescendo, and needed a controlled speed.




If I made you feel bad, I'm sorry. I only did this to make you improve your piano practical skills. I can see that you have the potential to be a great piano player. It's unfortunate to see that you stopped before the Presto section. I'd have enjoyed the rest of the song.

Hopefully I can see more of your piano videos sometime in the future.

See you around,

Haha, thanks. I kind of need the critic attitude because I didn't get to play the whole piece and I probably would've made many more mistakes.

I usually accent the bass, enough so it resonates without too much pedal, but not too much to make it choppy sounding, anyways, thanks again for the creative critisism.

Also, you may have noticed how bad the quality is at the very end, it's because the camera happened to run out of battery right before the Presto.

Awesome piece, great playing!

[Coolboyrulez0]

Great playing, when I hear that I wish I would have learned to play an instrument.

Good playing, it's better then I can do on the piano.
