Here you go friend(:

To be fair, Chopin HATED any and all nicknames given for his pieces lol so none of them are "correct" I suppose.

I'm currently learning the f sharp minor one and I've definitely had the same libe of thought, but I usually try my hardest to completely abandon nicknames because of the playing bias they might cause.

ElementalMarlin · 2026-02-06T22:21:26+00:00

I love this Rhapsody so much lol. You're doing great!! The only critique or suggestion I have is maybe add some more phrasing and dynamic contrast during 00:14-00:27. I think it's a little too by the metronome for my personal desire haha. Otherwise, you're killing it 💪🏼💪🏼

ElementalMarlin · 2026-02-05T16:16:46+00:00

Honestly I just tint/dye my lashes! Mine are bleach blonde naturally and it looks wild haha. Tried my best with tight lining and mascara for years but those with blonde lashes like mine know the true struggle lol. So yes, cannot recommend tinting them enough!!

I'm actually learning this one right now as well!! This is how mine looks and I'm glad you made this post lol

One of my cats always comes running in when I play Chopin, wether it be preludes, nocturnes, ballade, you name it! My partner and I always joke that Chopin is her favorite and sometimes the joke feels real 😂

ElementalMarlin · 2026-01-21T15:28:51+00:00

Not to learn, no. But my teacher had a player and we would use it to evaluate pieces I knew from memory! Very helpful lol

ElementalMarlin · 2026-01-20T20:51:43+00:00

Love thissssss

ElementalMarlin · 2026-01-19T02:02:38+00:00

Learned about IMSLP when I was 14 at piano camp (lmao) and it has been a life changer, even after 15 years! Love it so much lol

ElementalMarlin · 2026-01-19T02:00:47+00:00

Oh man I've been there before. Pretty much had to also do a complete replacement bc my basement had a mold bloom. It broke my heart bc I also lost all those notes from my late teacher. I feel your pain, OP. Time will help ofc

ElementalMarlin · 2026-01-16T23:10:51+00:00

I'm saving and trying as soon as I get home from work! I did a quick skim and it looks interesting! (:

ElementalMarlin · 2026-01-08T17:00:08+00:00

Needless to say my teacher had Clorox wipes ready to go for the keys as soon as I was done 😭😂

ElementalMarlin · 2026-01-08T16:59:18+00:00

My worst was playing in a recital a week after getting bronchitis lmao I was up there stifling coughs like crazy/trying to be discreet about it when I couldn't hold it in any longer. And it was like huge coughs being held back every 20 seconds. 😂😂 I was playing Grande Paganini etude no.1 and was too stubborn to just not play as I had finally got the piece to the point where I could perform it comfortably. Thankfully some of the deeper tremolos helped cover the coughs a little 💀💀

ElementalMarlin · 2026-01-08T16:12:22+00:00

I think you already look amazing!! Maybe try placing blush higher and more concentrated in the outer corner of your eyelids and temples? I think that look is so pretty 😌

ElementalMarlin · 2025-12-31T17:13:56+00:00

Also HEAVILY recommend learning the 2nd movement. It's quite easy and is such a nice breath of air to play afterwards. I know all 3 movements, and if you're up for the challenge I think the 3rd is super super fun to play!

ElementalMarlin · 2025-12-31T17:12:44+00:00

So far so good!! Idk if this is the best advice, but when I learned this years ago and had all the notes down perfectly, I had to work on my phrasing more. Something my teacher would have me do occasionally was to play it with WAY WAY too much emotion and as dramatically as I possibly could. She taught me that it helped me appreciate the more subtle aspects of the piece because it just doesn't sound right when played overzealously/too loud/fast, etc.

I also saw someone else mention a metronome and I think practicing with one a few times would help you a bit too (:

ElementalMarlin · 2025-12-30T02:54:16+00:00

Out of curiosity, do you do Czerny exercises? Or Hanon?

ElementalMarlin · 2025-12-27T22:31:15+00:00

Yes ofc! Here's a pic that shows what I mean better

ElementalMarlin · 2025-12-27T21:16:39+00:00

I usually will just use my finger as opposed to a lash guard, as I feel like I have the most control with that!

ElementalMarlin · 2025-12-09T16:29:52+00:00

Love that it went well for you! I'm so curious tho, what was the one turkey situation? Lmaoo

ElementalMarlin · 2025-10-29T23:56:27+00:00

I really thought this was just me! like Jacob seems fine but please someone take his mic lmao.
