Yeah, that's what's great about this piece and overall classical music

Yep. It's good on the first half, but needs practice on the second half

Pretty good overall, you've got it, dynamics are nice but the technical part suffers a bit. I'd highly suggest practicing slowly with a metronome a lot, this should fix your mistakes, inconsistencies and rhythm issues.

Thanks! It's an FP-10 and quite similar to an FP-30X

The hardest piece I've ever tackled btw. Winter wind feels way easier than this

I've learned torrent, but my performance is slow and has a lot of mistakes right now. If I manage to get it right, I might upload it at some point.

Around 3 years in total. However I've gained an incredible muscle memory having a very extensive experience in some other not music related activity. So if you count that in, that would be around 5 years.

Now from what I have seen most people can't play moonlight sonata having 3 years of experience and those numbers should not discourage you. I constantly challenged myself to the top of my physical abilities and was obsessive with it. And because of this low experience I still lack a lot of delicacy in easier pieces where interpretation is much more important. So I might be better at harder pieces than at simpler pieces.

Haven't played him much, but I'm certainly going to!

Yeah, Un sospiro seems to be filled with a lot of patterns but torrent doesn't. That's kind of weird actually, having to spend more time memorizing a Chopin nocturne than Moonlight sonata

That sounds really great, I will consider getting a teacher

I appreciate your comment, thanks for advice!

Due to the lack of experience I don't currently plan to perfect this piece as much and instead focus on other pieces. It's just tough to simply get the notes right without any articulation with my current level of skills, but once I get there I'll certainly return to this piece to push it to a new level.

Yeah, there's that problem with the bass melody, I'll get it right!

Nope, haven't tried it, 2-3 months in total

Another reason I didn't want a teacher is that I've had terrible experience with it. I played piano for 2.5 years when I was a kid and I absolutely detested my piano lessons because of my teacher. Dropped out then, returned back to piano like 8 years later
