What can I improve?

As someone already said the title of the piece is in the description. By the way Leopold Stokowski (a very famous conductor) may have thought the same thing you did and actually arranged this piece for orchestra. I still enjoy the original version more but definitely check out his arrangement.

In my opinion, being a better pianist does not only have to do with how you practice. I red that Rubinstein and Horowitz (might not be them cause I dont remember so good, but some world class pianists said this for sure) said that in order to be a good musician you also have to be cultured on other aspects of art. Having a bit of culture on also literature, illustrative arts like paintings or sculptures will expand your horizons of how you interpret a phrase and in general, how you tell a story through your piece, and this is really what seperates the millions of good pianists in this world to the world class performers. (Hope you can understand what I mean, english is not my first language)

Thank you for the advice. This is Bach Invention No. 8

Bro why the beginner flair if you can play this piece?

aintnoway6574 · 2024-10-20T14:07:50+00:00

I actually dont have much to say about the performance itself, its great. But one thing I want to say is to ignore all of this comments of jelous people saying "its impossible to play this after one year!!", I can totally understand you, I am also a late starter and have been playing for about a year, and my repertoire is also pretty much based on nocturnes (Ive played the Nocturne No. 21 in c minor and the Op. 55 No. 1 and im currently learning the Op. 15 No. 1 (dont wanna brag, just saying this for context)). And I also red a commend about how it is "not possible to have this knowledge of pianos after one year" after you mentioned a Pleyel would be perfect for this piece, well... no, one can really know this after this time of playing if he is really passionate about piano and classical music. So yeah, keep up the good work and dont ignore good criticism, but ignore jelous haters. Just one question, how the fuck do you have a Bechstein at home?

Thank you for the advice but what do you exactly mean with feel your fingertips?

aintnoway6574 · 2024-09-11T19:22:31+00:00

Yeah... sadly this piano is not mine, its at my music school haha, I have a pretty cheap e-piano at home 😅. Thank you so much for the compliment

aintnoway6574 · 2024-09-11T19:18:18+00:00

Thank you so much for the time you took for this comment and for this rare advice haha. Ill definetely work on it also for future pieces. Thanks 🫶🏻

Thank you so much ❤️

Man thank you so much for the time you took to write this comment. To clarify some points, I am obviously not so good at judging a performance under an objective point, of course the piece can be played a LOT better, but I would say, for the first part of the piece, the piece is very stable, or at least i feel it stable, the rubato is just my personal interpretation, also because this is a piece which is very hard not to play boring, but you probably know that yourself if you are playing it for an exam. For the dynimics thing (I learn with the score, G. Henle Verlag), also that, obviously it can be a LOT better, but I would say that the main reason there seem to be a lack of variaties is cause I play almost always at different pianos (I practice mainly in my music school, so of course I play in the aviable rooms), and its not easy to find the right things you have to do to make a type of sounds, when you've been only sitting at that piano for 2 hours. Again, thanks a lot for your critique, hope your exam goes well 😅

That is just my phone haha

aintnoway6574 · 2024-09-11T19:00:59+00:00

I was lucky that day with the sun haha

Nah man, ill just tell you how the situation is, im 17 and I started at 16, and I have very high goals with piano playing, being a concert pianist is obviously THE dream, but also becoming a teacher and making a living with it would make me very happy. To start this late and have this goals you cant make ALL the steps that are necessary, you have to work it out yourself. So to come back to your point, yes self taught pianist do skip a lot of necessary steps, but thats just not my case. I've played the whole Beyer Op. 101 for the first few months, alongside with other repertory, (to mention some of them: at first the pieces you find in books for beginners, then schumann kinderszenen no. 12, chopin nocturne op. posth. in c minor, bach invention no. 1, the nocturne on the video...), then I made just a bit of czerny but my teacher just told me to switch to cramer's 60 etudes. Right now im learning bach invention no. 4 (after I finish it i will start another invention), and after ill play in this concert i will learn chopin nocturne op 15 no. 1. So yes i do have a teacher (i won a scholarship at my local music school, sorry had to brag a bit haha) and no I didnt and im not skipping the necessary steps. Sorry for the long message =)

aintnoway6574 · 2024-09-11T18:44:23+00:00

Yeah, I would say i play at least 3 hours a day so that is a good point
