Thanks! I think you got what has always been my issue with my upright, the middle register simply cannot sing. For many years I thought it's just my playing that is the problem. With the loud and resonant bass it is extremely difficult to get balanced recordings without banging the melodies. I am willing to sacrifice some of the bass for the singing quality of the upper registers, and that's what I got with the baby grand

I still need to learn to control the pianos better though

26. sinophilia - Over the Rainbow I liked it slow and dreamy; that was really nice. (And isn’t the iPad Pro just perfect for sheet music?!)

27. chrisbeech - Sonatina in C op 36 No 1 2nd Movement Delightful!

28. SandTIger - Gemini I greatly admire people who can write and play their own compositions. I have a difficult enough time attempting something already written! Most enjoyable - congratulations!

29. MaryBee - Pavane pour un Infante defunte One of my favourite classical pieces. I loved your rendition, particularly the way you brought out all of the contrasting colours - thank you!

30. Michiyo-Fir/Jade - The Lark Ethereal, wonderful - Bravo! I certainly didn’t hear anything that required an apology! (Your C3 sounded magnificent, by the way.)

31. Alexander Borro - ABC Elements You certainly should be happy with the result - that was brilliant! You fully captured the haunting, atmospheric mood of this piece. Despite assuring myself I have *enough* Einaudi music to last me forever, I’m going to have to get hold of the sheet music and try it, too!

32. CarlosCC - No Holly for Miss Quinn Carlos, you’re forgiven for not choosing Einaudi this time, because that was such a pleasure to listen to: a gentle interpretation of a lovely theme. I’m going to have to stop listening to Recitals, because it makes me want to try so many new pieces - and this is certainly one at the top of the list.

33. Cathryn999 - Bach Invention No. 14 Nicely executed; that ‘A’ was well and truly deserved!

34. Zoot64 - Invention in C major BWV 772 I’d be very happy to be able to manage trills as smoothly as you did. Most enjoyable!

35. bSharp(C)yclist (Dan) - I Giorni Another Einaudi - what a treat. This was the very piece that inspired my piano journey, too. If I could have played it that well after only a few months at the piano, I’d have been on Cloud 9. (For that matter, I’d be struggling to play it as well *now* as you just did! ) Congratulations!

1. Underconstruction- Beautifully played Dean.

3. MarieJ- wow, I would never have guessed this as a Einaudi. Very different. Really lively and fun…. and nicely played.

5. jazztpt- Sweet and relaxing. I like the title!

I've not heard all of it yet but I'm over halfway. Well done to all who've made a submission. It's always a thrill to hear how everyone is getting on even if it's not always possible to offer comments and gratitude.

I listen very carefully and rarely do I listen only once before offering a comment. It's time consuming and I take it very seriously. Sometimes I want to just say 'Well Done' but it seems too flippant and doesn't reflect the attention I've given. If I don't mention anyone's entry, it doesn't mean I've not given it a good listen. I really do enjoy listening to everyone's progress, especially those who I've been listening to for some years and who I interact with on the forum, but it's often really hard to say well what I want to say.

Please accept a general congratulation on a job well done and a thank you for the opportunity of attentive listening - an important exercise for a practising musician - if I don't get round to offering anything further.

12. peterws - Romance op28 2
I fell for this piece during the Schumann Recital and have had it on my prospective list since then but never got around to it. This is a beautiful airing, Peter, and I couldn't let it go after hearing you play it, several times I might add. Last night I memorised the first page and will be sticking with this from now.

There is a gulf between the casual, off-hand attitude you display on the forum and the careful approach you've made to this piece bringing to bear your tremendous experience and ability.

Well done and thanks for the inspiration.

14. chopinoholic (Paul de Koning) - Nocturne op.9 no 1 B flat minor
This is a beautiful interpretation of another piece I've had my eye on but I've another three Nocturnes in process. This is marred slightly by an out of tune piano but despite that I had to give it a few listens and I find no faults in your playing.

The attention you've paid to detail in the score, and Chopin is very detailed, is very evident in this recording as well as the time you've given to this piece. I find it frustrating, after hearing a recording of myself, to follow along with the score and find I've missed some dynamic markings (or I interpreted them from the music without checking) and have to work them in for best results. There is nothing here that you need to change. Splendid performance.

18. Ganddalf - Rondo D-major, K485
Playing Mozart is a like walking on one of those glass floor bridges. You know it's safe in theory but you can see the drop below and walking confidently is harder than on a wooden floor. As pianists we don't really need to warm up our hands and fingers - there's no requirement for strength in playing the piano. What we need to do is warm up our brains for fine motor control and handling heavy tools, or for me, digging the garden, is no way to get ready for Mozart.

You've done a fine job under very difficult circumstances but I really believe that if you spend a fortnight or more on familiar material, working for perfection and restricting new material you could transform this piece. I know you have the skills because I've heard them before. You may not be sufficiently distanced from the performance to hear it yourself.

I had no idea this Rondo was so popular. It may be a geographical thing (or a time thing as you suggest) but I understand the A Minor Rondo and the Adagio in B minor have always been the go to pieces outside the Sonatas. Still, it's great to hear this one again.

I am wanting to give feedback to everyone but I want to really listen so it might take me a couple of days. Here's the first batch - and really, good job everyone, what a superb bunch of pieces (what a superb bunch of people!). Thanks!
01. UnderConstruction - Venetianisches Gondellied (Op.19 No.6)
Wow, after only 20 months back. Good job UC, well done. Lovely dynamics, excellent crescendo, nice phrasing. I don’t know this piece but I really enjoyed it – thanks!

02. wouter79 - 25 Etudes, for proving the sense of rhythm and expression, op.47 n. 5,10
Nice phrasing. Nice articulation. I enjoyed your playing and think you proved the sense of rhythm an expression nicely :-)

03. MarieJ - The Snow Prelude No.3 in C-Major
Great dynamics! Well done, I don’t know what this piece is about but I see myself as a young woman, skipping down a hedge-lined road, a flowing dress, flowers in my hands. Thank you, it’s beautiful!


04. Barbaram - Danza de la Moza Donosa
You can hear how much you love this piece in your playing. Your crescendo is good and the big chords are impressive. I liked your splashes of rubato too. You should be very happy with this performance, well done.

05. Jazztpt - Something in C
I love your something in C. If I was sitting in a cocktail bar overlooking city lights, this is what I’d want to hear.

06. Peyton - message From Space- Mixed Signals
Nice bass, nice polrythmns, and beautiful beautiful tones. I can influences of Michael Nyman in there too. My genres are strictly classical: I wish I could play like this 

07. AZ_Astro - Pavane de la Belle au Bois Dormant (Dance to a Sleeping Beauty)
Good job on the voicing. I’m not familiar with this piece but I enjoyed listening and you played it beautifully.

08. Riddler (Ed) - Night and Day
Sounds like you’re having a lot of fun, and I love the stolen chromatics . Impressed you did this from a lead sheet, it sounds very practiced.

09. Monica K. - The Acceleration of Time
I’m not familiar with this piece but you had me tapping my toes. Nice rhythm and timing, especially as you get further in to the piece.

10. MeganR - Chorale in E Minor, BWV 512
Wow for just 18 months at the piano this is really good. You have communicated the baroque style well, and I hear you about those peas. I would suggest to play it even more beautifully, look at your phrasing (though there is nothing wrong with how you play it, but I think you can eke a little more from it with some different phrasing).

11. blackjack1777 - Prelude E minor Op. 28 #4
Ah. The beautiful Number 28. I like this one a little slower and more plaintiff. Like you say, Chopin asked for this to be played at his funeral… so I always imagine a coffin in procession when I hear this, each note a story in itself of that person’s life. Still it’s a personal preference, and you played it very well, even those difficult big chords (which my small hands struggle with). I’m sure your dad is smiling and applauding. Well done!

12. peterws - Romance op28 2 (to do)
What a beautiful technique you have. Clearly experienced and so … perfectly? Articulated. I so enjoyed you playing this, thank you for sharing.

13. Khopin - Prelude Op.28 No.15 Raindrop
I just love the crescendo in this piece, it is so dark and stormy. Like the Op. 28 No 4, I prefer this a little slower and more plaintiff, I would have liked to hear a little more love in each and every note, each and every chord (I hope you don’t mind me saying that, it’s not really technical feedback, just preference). Still I think you did a great job, and I enjoyed very much your performance.

14. chopinoholic (Paul de Koning) - Nocturne op.9 no 1 B flat minor
I’m in love with the tone of your piano, and clearly you know how to get the best out of it. Paul, not a lot to say except thank you, exceptional, great touch, great technique, wonderful sound, and I listened twice.

Time to start writing about this wonderful recital!

19. CASINITALY (Cheryl) - Sonatina in G major - 3 movements
First of all, keep it in your repertoire, please! I think this is one of your best records, and you must be very proud to be able to play all the three movements with such confidence. I'm not a specialist about this composer but, honestly, I see very good sessions here and I love to see how good you're progressing; I don't know Diabelli but I know what I like. Keep the good work, congratulations!


Casinitaly, Ralphiano, thanks for your comments on my piece.
MarieJ, just to let you know that I'm already preparing the next recital. And yes, it's Einaudi

ZRT90

Richard, you memorised the first page in a night?. . . Took me bloody months to get me head round the first 3 bars. . .that was the worst bit. I look forward to hearing your completed version.

Thatll be tomorrow night, right?

06. Peyton - message From Space- Mixed Signals
Peyton, I can recognize your playing from the very first sessions and this 5th piece of your Space series is a very good example of your good skills as composer (and piano player). Composing this piece based on "modern composers" was a good choice and I liked the way you kept your "signature" above all the influences. Keep sending more Messages form Space for us. I love it.

An apologia, Peter! I've had this piece on my radar for a long time and have the melody in my head so I was off to flying start.

My method was also conducive to fast work. I picked out the RH melody, using thumb only with two uses of the second finger. Schumann's scoring made this rather easy! Picking out the LH harmony a third below (except bar 7 - trick ending!) was a piece of cake and putting the two hands together wasn't hard (just the melody).

In the RH accompaniment the high note generally picks out the melody note at an octave while the bass stays constant in the first two lines but uses octaves in bars 5 to 7 with a chromatic kick at the end of each bar. Step lightly and carefully through here.

Then I put the RH together with the LH melody and vice versa before finally putting both hands fully together.

I'm not expecting much extra challenge from bars 18 to 24, nor from the coda.

Bars 24-30 are patterned and sequential like a six bar fugue which leaves bars 9 to 17. They're just a tricky RH with LH octaves, right?

Phrasing and fingering is the first step, once through each section, phrase by phrase. The second cycle is memorising, still in phrases, and the next cycle is facility and tempo. Using Slow Strings, Church Organ or Harp voices will help to take things slowly without it dragging but tempo is rarely a problem once it's memorised. The fourth cycle is chaining the phrases together, up to tempo, in sections and finally join the memorised and up to tempo sections together as a whole piece.

I'm in the throes of Chopin's Nocturne, 27/1, right now but if I come unstuck before November I might put this one out there then.

11 blackjack1777 - Prelude E minor Op. 28 #4
Fabulous piece and choice to work on. So sorry for your loss. I draw similar meaning into some cherished pieces and the memories flow back when they are worked on again. This is great piece to be with you for life and visit yearly. Nice job to learn it and present it this well on first iteration of it.

12 peterws - Romance op28 2
You've had a few Schumann entries I recall and each time I hear them reminds me to do more from this composer. I'd prepared one for this recital, but in the end decided it was a little small and changed my mind for something a little larger. I'll be looking to do more. This is lovely, Peter. Excellent playing and always polished performance we can count on.

13 Khopin - Prelude Op.28 No.15 Raindrop
Thank you for this beautiful rendition of a Chopin classic. I like the expression and life you bring to it. I've been mesmerized by this composer and a select few other composer works too. Chopin alone, has loads of them that are all this good. You're in a great space. Excellent playing.

14 chopinoholic (Paul de Koning) - Nocturne op.9 no 1 B flat minor
This is what I mean by this good from above statement. I've been working on an easier am waltz this morning with similarities of rhythm to parts of this. I'm always fascinated when the harmonies and timing start to work and the raw beauty emerges. Beautiful job bringing out the beauty of this challenging work Paul.

15 Richard (zrtf90) - Largo e mesto
Hi Richard, so glad to hear of this positive reflection of your health now after some serious challenges. Good for you and good to know things are much better for you now. Yes, life is good. One thing I know that is always certain, is change. Piano (re: coming back to piano) has been a healthy change for us I think, and for many others here too. It is great to have this place to be connected when we want and grow together with this never ending task. I've listened to this Largo twice now in entirety. A big piece for memorizing for sure let alone all the others I know you work on too. Excellent musicianship.

16 Newbert - All In Love Is Fair
So easy to listen to this. Great changes along with a very familiar melody and you can never really go wrong. I've paid attention and like a lot of what you're working on these days. I'm inspired and have also tried to remember to keep working on restoring and adding more non-classicals to play list as a result. Fine playing of this very pleasing listen. Thank you.

17 Pathbreaker (Tarik) - Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 21-1
Listening to this went faster then I anticipated. C'mon, it is all great, that's why. I did it in two sections with short break in between. My introduction to many (most?) composers has been a result of PW forums. It is the case with Brahms and had no idea of this work. Tremendous dedication, effort with this fabulous work and beautiful presentation.

18 Ganddalf - Rondo D-major, K485
The clarity of all the ornaments is very nicely done. A lighthearted piece and a nice addition for any repertoire. Excellent execution and excellent playing, Ganddalf as usual.

19 CASINITALY (Cheryl) - Sonatina in G major - 3 movement
This is a lot for one go, Cheryl. Good for you in being this determined. The care you've taken, shows in the high quality and accuracy of your playing. I'm more likely to notice hesitations then any flubs you mention. At any rate, it sounded very clean to me. Nice composition I've never heard before. Outstanding to do all movements. Good work. Thank you.

20 h8dk97 - For Elise
This piece gets discussed likely more than any other single piece in these forums. I've never learned it all myself, but have played with it, up to what would be about the minute 30 mark in your recording. It was once my Achilles heal to never complete anything. It only begins to develop at this point and where it really begins to get more interesting and challenging. A big work this early for you. Good job to complete it and well done presentation of it here.

Richard, you just gave me a lesson on how to approach a new tune . . . in contrast to my own method, which involves figuratively headbutting a brick wall until it collapses, or I just flop into bed knowing I`ll get no sleep that night. . .

Well, it`s kinda worked until now . .

31. Alexander Borro - ABC Elements Really like this, I found myself sitting quietly to listen, such a pleasure.

32. CarlosCC - No Holly for Miss Quinn I wasn't sure which Enya piece this was just reading your description and then, the first notes: oh I LOVE this one! Perfect!

33. Cathryn999 - Bach Invention No. 14 I love Bach so much. So I would have loved this anyway, but this was great.

34. Zoot64 - Invention in C major BWV 772 Oh man, two in a row. Heaven!

35. bSharp(C)yclist (Dan) - I Giorni bSharp, this was so awesome! Your progress is really remarkable.

36. Piano Primo 1 - Solfeggetto, Dream Echoes Such different pieces, I can see how Dream Echoes would have been a break from the difficulties of the Solfettetto. Really enjoyed.

37. Kris Shendo - Papillons What a cool piece!

38. JoBert - Star Wars - Imperial March What the heck - non-Star Wars fans? I love the Star Wars series! Loved this also, your take on it was great.

39. outo - Nocturne nr 4 Really enjoyed this interesting piece, I can't decide which piano sound I liked better. They were both great.

40. PikaPianist - Puck, Lyric Pieces Op. 71, No. 3 Holy moly, this was "slow"? Loved this, I can see that little dickens of a sprite dancing around now!.

Peyton, I can't imagine doing a piece like that without having it on paper. At least you have a recording (and a wonderful one at that) so if you ever do forget it, the recording can replace the score!

Barbaram, thank you! I'm not sure if I heard your version of Nefeli, I'll go and check it on the recitals wiki. That's for the compliment of my piano also

Peterws, thank you for listening!

Megan, thank you! Hmm, so that's one argument for doing a video again. Also, you know, this is the first time I've video taped myself, so it was interesting to see my hands from that angle. I wish I could do a video like those youtube teachers where the camera is pointing down from above. Unfortunately, with the equipment I have (basically, no equipment) my iPad would probably just come crashing down on the keyboard!

My parents used to tell me "You are known by the company you keep." I like hanging with you guys, this makes me a great pianist!

What a recital!

43. owenj / Jaime - Medieval Fair You are off to a nice start. I am an early beginner, as well, and you seem already past some of the beginner struggles. Your piece had a lot of sustained notes that require patience and confidence to hold for their full value before jumping in to the next. You really seemed on top of this. And, your dynamics were notable and tasteful. I liked your performance.

44. Copper - Someday My Prince Will Come What a nice melody. I recognized it almost instantly, though I do not remember from where I originally heard it. As for technical feedback, I may or may not be helpful. As you played, I was caught by the halting moments, thinking you might be searching for the next notes or chords. I accept that this may just reflect my unfamiliarity with the score. If so, ignore my comments. If you are being stopped by the search for the next chord, all I can add is that I've had some success overcoming the same difficulties via super slow, even irritatingly slow, practice of short segments or phrases, until all of the hand movements become second nature.

45. Whizbang (Chris) - Cottontail Rag I'm so glad you played this. I have a limited familiarity with Rags, and did not know that they ranged outside the bouncy, hyperspeed, things I've heard in movies, etc. Thank you for showing me something I did not know. This piece is really nice, relaxing, easy to listen to. And, your playing was just superb! I really liked listening to you.

46. PhilzPiano - Marianne's Song That's a lovely composition and I'm happy TD made it available for you. While you think it needs polishing, I can tell you that from a listerner's perspective, it was very nice to listen to and very well played. There were no noticeable hiccups to distract the listener from the tune's beauty, or from your caring rendition. I liked it just the way you did it.

47. Yamaha G3 & P-80 Mike White - Minnie, dalla mia casa son partito This piece pulled me back and forth between melancholy and optimism. It's an interesting piece. Is it from a play, or opera? You played well.

49. Jen Weir - Hallelujah Just like the performances you post in the piano bar, once again, you fill the air with lovely music. No doubt, some of that is down to the nice arrangements you get. But, your play is always pleasing, and this one is no exception. Very well done!

50. f3r (Mark) - Nocturne No.1 in E flat Major You got rave reviews from the attendees at the EPP, and now I see why. It is amazing what you have accomplished in such a short period of play. This is a very nice composition, and you did it justice. You played very well!

51. joangolfing - Adagio BWV 974 I can see why you were drawn to this one. It is nice, and you are off to a great start. Well done!

52. cscl - Traumerei (Kinderszenen, Op. 15, No. 7) That's a very pretty piece. I enjoyed it. Regarding the sound recording, have you experimented with the placement of your zoom, and with lid position? To me the bass seemed overpowering. At the same time, to me, the beauty of this composition is in the delicacy and tenderness of the middle to upper ranges. I think the bass masked some of this beauty.

Hurry, November!

48. Ralphiano- What a sweet little piece. You play it with feeling and care.

44. Copper- It's always fun to hear what little gem you come up with.


41. SwissMs- It's always a pleasure listening to and watching you play. This is a delightful work.

39. Outo. My dad used to sing a lot of Poulenc. He was certainly a very interesting composer. I'm really glad you chose this to play. I think I like the sound on the first one better but over my computer without headphones they are not all that different.

Oops, I left some out!

Don't ask, I'll just assert the defense of age, and you'll look like a bully if you challenge it!


01. UnderConstruction - Venetianisches Gondellied (Op.19 No.6) Well done! I was occupied by the sound of the left hand part, particularly in those segments when the first note was played in a stacatto manner. It was very suggestive of the beat of the waves. I wonder if that was Mendelssohn's intention. It's an interesting composition.

06. Peyton - message From Space- Mixed Signals I commend you on composing your own music. I haven't the foggiest idea of the difficulties and complexities involved in such an undertaking. All I know is that I am quite certain that I underestimate it. And, your piano playing is quite good and nice to listen to.

17. Pathbreaker (Tarik) - Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 21-1 Your play was impressive. I couldn't finish listening as my time is a little short today. I will get back to it.

At about 9.5 minutes the piece quieted. I really enjoyed this segment, as each part got to speak so individually. The melody notes were very distinct, as were the bass parts. Kind of like the difference between a stir fry and a stew. All identity of the parts is lost to the whole in the stew, but, the stir fry brings the individual parts together as individuals. For some reason, the retention of individuality is something that always resonates with me, so I especially enjoyed this part of your performance.

The ending had a similar character, and I thought you played with great care and faithfulness through the conclusion. In all, it was a very nice performance.

41. SwissMS/Doris - Arietta Op 47 #7 This composer was new to me, what a beautiful piece. Lovely playing.

42. Schubertian - Nocturne in E, Op 62 No 2 My my, what will this be like in 3 months then if this wasn't ready??

43. owenj / Jaime - Medieval Fair A very pretty piece, sounded great

44. Copper - Someday My Prince Will Come What fun, Disney. This kind of took me down a youtube "black hole" listening to variations of this song, including Miles Davis. But I digress, loved your version!

45. Whizbang (Chris) - Cottontail Rag I'm another who doesn't have much knowledge of ragtime, so I appreciated learning about and listening to this great piece.

46. PhilzPiano - Marianne's Song I hadn't heard this piece before, good on you for finding the music (and thanks to Tweedledum also!) and doing such a lovely job with playing it.

47. Yamaha G3 & P-80 Mike White - Minnie, dalla mia casa son partito Another new to me piece, of *course* I had to go find other versions, which made for quite the enjoyable several extra minutes of listening pleasure.

48. Ralphiano / Ralph - Chant Ancien Great job with this very pretty piece! Your description of getting your be-hind kicked gave me a chuckle, because I feel like that All The Time starting something new!

49. Jen Weir - Hallelujah Beautiful job with this piece. This song is one that is so gorgeous and your version is also.

50. f3r (Mark) - Nocturne No.1 in E flat Major Wow, I love this. Your tempo is perfect as far as I'm concerned.

51. joangolfing - Adagio BWV 974 I know I always say this, but I love Bach. This is great, loved listening.

52. cscl - Traumerei (Kinderszenen, Op. 15, No. 7) I love this piece, I'm going to play it some day (at some point when I'm capable of it), hopefully as beautifully as you have.

Glad its finally weekend, and I can continue to enjoy this! All the pieces has been amazing, thank you everyone. Some random appreciative comments.

13. Khopin - Prelude Op.28 No.15 Raindrop
Very nicely played, really enjoyed it, the CA67 works great with this!

14. chopinoholic (Paul de Koning) - Nocturne op.9 no 1 B flat minor
Never get sick of a familiar tune Sensitively played.

15. Richard (zrtf90) - Largo e mesto
Very well played, thoroughly enjoyed it! I know what you mean about the onboard sound and why using pianoteq with adjustible velocity mapping makes things better. For some reason, Kawai keeps making this mistake in their digital piano and there is no real way to correct it.

19. CASINITALY (Cheryl) - Sonatina in G major - 3 movements
A bit of piano, followed by lobster and pasta. Sounds like heaven!

20. h8dk97 - For Elise
I remember recently someone on the forum asked how long it will take to learn Fur Elise from scratch, so apparently the answer is 1 year?

21. Daren - Somewhere In Time
This Ravenscroft VST sounds amazing, so does the piece. Thanks for sharing!

23. Sam S - Venetianisches Gondellied opus 30-6
My gondola is in good company with yours! Apparently Mendelssohn has a fascination for the gentle ripples of the Venetian waters.

24. ShiroKuro - Nefeli
Your piano sounds wonderful, so does the playing! Can hear a bit of squeaking of the pedals, but not too distracting.

40. PikaPianist - Puck, Lyric Pieces Op. 71, No. 3
Astoundingly fast, accurate, crisp, and musical. I really like the piece, and your performance was superb!

41. SwissMS/Doris - Arietta Op 47 #7
What a pretty piece! Beautifully played. I was especially impressed by how seamlessly you transitioned between hands when the melody switched. Well done.

45. Whizbang (Chris) - Cottontail Rag
Wonderful playing, very full, steady with lots of expression and perfect work on the syncopations. Very easy to listen to.

46. PhilzPiano - Marianne's Song
Very well played, and very listenable. Interesting how you found the sheet music. There is a lot going on in the music, I can imagine that transcribing it would be a time consuming task.

47. Yamaha G3 & P-80 Mike White - Minnie, dalla mia casa son partito
Mike, glad to see that you are still bringing Puccini's music alive in these recitals. Good work.

49. Jen Weir - Hallelujah
Jen, well done, very enjoyable. I really like that part near the end, where you arpeggiate all the chords to get a short of shimmering effect. Very cool!

51. joangolfing - Adagio BWV 974
Joan, yes this is a lovely piece of music. Nicely done throughout. Interesting how it ended on major.
