Piano World Home Page Forums Fun Stuff! - Parties, Tours, Projects & More... Member Recordings YOU playing piano on youtube

being a beginner adult in my mid twenties I hate seeing all those talented little 10 year olds on youtube making childsplay of songs i wouldn't even attempt...


but i also love seeing those little 10 years olds on youtube hehehe :p gives me hope

JonBrom,

So, you noticed those big claws of his. His fingers are quite long, which allows him to use the whole key very easily. But his reach isn't extraordinary ........ yet. He can grab a tenth, which a lot of people can do. I suspect his reach (width) will expand as he grows a little, and he'll likely have an easy eleventh. Whether or not he gets to a twelfth is anybody's guess.

here is me playing...

I have other pieces i played on tape...but those had horrible mistakes i don't want to show. I'm still a performer in progress.

Wow, what a gorgeous performance!

LM (in awe of your technique....)

The reason why I mentioned it was because I read an old topic you made about the piece. I think that your son may have a chance since he can handle the jumps in Rachmaninoff's G-minor prelude with ease. The Prokofiev-Toccata do also have a lot of repeated figurations that is even possible to handle even in the early stage of learning.

I also liked his Montages and Capsules(?).

Alkey,

I really liked the middle section. You drew out the beauty of that part with a nice relaxed technique. Congratulations on a fine performance. You also had a very receptive audience!

BTW, what did you think of the piano? Over my speakers it sounded really bright as glass, but that could have been the recording medium instead of the piano.


Anders,

Yes, the Montagues & Capulets is a fun piece, as are most of the other nine in the Romeo and Juliet suite. Lugansky has put out a very nice CD of the whole suite.

When Piano*Son was eleven he heard a young twelve year old performer on From the Top (a radio show over here) play it. My son decided that if this kid could do it at age twelve, so could he! And he did. It was wonderful motivation.

thanks for the comments really appreciate them.

To answer Piano dad's question; the piano was wonderful (Steinway), deep rich bass with responsive touch. I don't recall it being a very bright piano. Maybe the sound i produced during the 2nd section was a bright glassy sound. ^^; don't know.

I just recorded these on Saturday at my father's birthday party, for several of my parents' friends. At first the plan was to just post these as private, but since finding this thread, thought I'd go ahead and jump in! Anyway, here goes:

Thats me in a small recital at a church in town, screwed up a little in the middle, but overall went pretty well

Here's an old recording of when I first completed the first mov. of the Pathetique Sonata.

Please post links to members' recordings in the members' recordings forum.

Thanks!

Hey , here is the link to my videos www.youtube.com/ranec16 . You may have seen my thread, haven't recorded for a couple of months. I'm preparing for an audition for the conservatory at the moment ( I'm 22 ^^ )

I think this is my most significant recording to date. After getting hold of the full score which showed the harp parts I decided to record part of Mozart's Flute & Harp Concerto 2nd movement as I was listening to it constantly. I thought it would take ages but I did it in two evenings. I've not played it for months and have completely forgotten it. I planned to write a longer version but like most things....I didn't!

apple*- That is absolutely the coolest movie. Little boys are the best but they sure do have a great instinct for knowing the EXACT moment to try to distract a person.

Great playing--just everything about this is incredibly charming. Thank you for sharing!

apple* -- How fun! My kids tend to gravitate to my studio when they hear the piano (unfortunately, this is sometimes the case while I am trying to teach). Mine are only 4 and 1, though. My cats tend to congregate here as well, LOL. No dogs at this time.

Thank you for sharing your first video with us! Your piano is beautiful, and I loved the Bach. How long have you been working on this?

let's see at the time.. a couple weeks, i know it now.. after another month of study, altho i suppose i've forgotten it - there are some tricky rhythms. That was taken maybe 18 months ago.

Hi apple*,

Very nice playing! Your son and dog were an unexpected surprise, and you were unfazed by it all. The video is charming. Thanks for posting it.

It's not just piano videos, but that's where I post them:

This has been a great place for me to come and enjoy all the fine contributions of PW members on youtube especially during my lunch break at work since I'm only working with dial-up connection at home.

During our recent May Grand Events gathering in MA, I attended the Saturday tour of the Frederick Historical Collection. Even though I only had my digital camera, I decided to take a short clip of Pat Frederick playing a piece by Chopin on the Pleyel.

I try to promote their collection and study center as much as possible and with Pat's permission I present this short clip on youtube; recently posted in the AFB forum in the Totally Devoted to Chopin thread.
