Peyton 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 1377 Loc: Maine	I recorded this (as well as 72/1) for the Chopin nocturne recital. I realize I messed the next to last measure up (left out the ascending notes) but it was one of those things... every recording I made had something in it I wasn't happy with and this one ended up being the one I could live with the most. I would welcome any comments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTgYDJu3umY&feature=channel _________________________ "One's real life is often the life that one does not lead."- Oscar Wilde www.youtube.com/Biffer5 www.peytonart.com

This is one of my favorite nocturne and after seeing your video, this will have to be the next one to learn =) _________________________ Working on: Kapustin Prelude Op 53 no 7

You shouldn't worry for a second about the missing measure (which, to tell you the truth, I wouldn't even have noticed, because the shape and flow were so good). Beautiful Chopin playing! Great rubato/flexibility of rhythm, real good dynamic range. And BTW.......I know exactly how it is with not being completely satisfied with any of the takes! There's always some sacrifice we have to make, whichever one we pick, unless we're Horowitz. Or maybe especially if we're Horowitz. Great job! P.S. I put a comment on the video too. _________________________ Don't expect me to be sane, I'm playing Scriabin

MarkCannon Full Member Registered: 11/11/09 Posts: 336 Loc: New York	BTW......I never knew anything about Kapustin till a couple of people played him at the last Van Cliburn amateur competition ('07). They both had quite a sensation with him. _________________________ Don't expect me to be sane, I'm playing Scriabin

MarkCannon Full Member Registered: 11/11/09 Posts: 336 Loc: New York	....yes......and I would add that all the transitions were very good. (Meant to say that before but forgot....) _________________________ Don't expect me to be sane, I'm playing Scriabin

MarkCannon Full Member Registered: 11/11/09 Posts: 336 Loc: New York	Most welcome......and glad to make the acquaintance on here. I've seen your posts elsewhere but I'm not sure if we had 'conversed' yet. I was glad to be able to connect the 'name' with some playing. Very nice performance! _________________________ Don't expect me to be sane, I'm playing Scriabin
