Seeing a teacher for 1h every other week. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Video link: | https://youtu.be/__AAx5LkDy0?t=8 | | Title of piece: | March in D Major (BWV Anh. 122) | | Composer: | C. P. E.

Bach | | Duration: | 01:42 | | Source of music: | sheet music (Henle) | | Instrument used: | Kawai CA49 | | Recording method: | Digital to PC, Scarlet 2i2. Ableton Lite | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | This is my second recital and I am submitting another baroque piece.
This is my first piece by Bach. I remember quite clearly when my piano teacher played it for me back in December. I laughed a bit and was thinking there was no way I would manage to play it. However, it turned out to be an amazing learning experience, not only because of the piano skills I got to train working on it, but also because he made sure to explain me more in depth how baroque music works (which I love) and what one should play attention to when performing baroque pieces. It was very interesting to start analyzing a piece beyond the notes, and try finding a deeper understanding of what is printed on paper. I know I did not manage to translate all of these many things we analyzed together in this recording, but I am very proud of my progress.
Thanks in advance for your feedback  |

| 43 | | | Performer's name: | Sam S | | From: | Georgia, USA | | Avatar: |  | | Experience: | about 10 years | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Video link: | https://youtu.be/PfcCXhJdYUo | | Title of piece: | Song Without Words op 67-3 | | Composer: | Felix Mendelssohn | | Duration: | 03:12 | | Instrument used: | Yamaha C3 | | Recording method: | Zoom Q8 | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | It's marked "Andante Tranquillo", so my tempo is slower than most I have heard. That's my excuse anyway - I am trying to convey a tranquil mood.
I've enjoyed playing some "easier" pieces lately. Not that easy really, but at least it's not 8 pages long, in 5 sharps, with octave runs and chromatic scales! Easy is relative.
Hope you enjoy it!

| 44 | | | Performer's name: | bSharp(C)yclist (Dan) | | From: | California | | Experience: | 5 years | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Video link: | https://youtu.be/BNdaV8H3tHc | | Title of piece: | Piano Sonata No. 8 (Pathetique), II. Adagio cantabile | | Composer: | Beethoven | | Duration: | 05:09 | | Source of music: | Alfred's Book, edited by Stewart Gordon. | | Instrument used: | Yamaha C3X | | Recording method: | Last minute thing. I recorded with my laptop and a Blue Snowball Ice USB microphone. It turns out there was a fair amount of clipping, so I uses Audacity to fix that. Video quality is bad from laptop. | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | I did this last minute on 2/14. I really enjoy this piece and thank my current teacher for her help with it. There are times when I play it that I get goosebumps. I don't expect anyone else to feel that, and I didn't' feel that while recording it, but there is something to this piece that draws me in. I wish I could express that better while recording. I'm working through movement 1 now and a Chopin Nocturne.
And thanks to the folks at PW world. It's hard to believe that my first post was almost 5 years ago now. I certainly gathered a thing or two while lurking through your posts |

| 45 | | | Performer's name: | Zoe | | From: | Canada | | Experience: | Started piano ~10 years ago and have had ~5 years of focused learning. There has been many long absences in between where I pursued other musical endeavors (I played percussion in a Adult Concert Band and that cut into piano playing but did a lot for my confidence and comfort doing public performances). I am back to piano again fully energized and ready to continue my journey. For now I am doing this without a teacher, though I did have one when I started piano for 3-4 years. I started with learning/playing organ for ~5 years as a teenager, but my dream was always learning and playing the piano. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | Tantalizing Tango | | Composer: | Catherine Rollin | | Duration: | 01:50 | | Source of music: | Dancing on the Keys Book 1 - Catherine Rollin | | Instrument used: | Yamaha CX3 | | Recording method: | Zoom H1N Recorder
Mini Tripod on short ledge 3 feet from piano.
Piano Lid open on the Half Stick | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | I took this up as a personal challenge from some exchanged ideas with Greta99 in the 40 Pieces A Year challenge. Thanks to Greta99 and all others for the wonderful comments that gave me the drive and courage to submit this here. It is the longest piece I have recorded this year. Will continue to re-record until the cutoff comes to try to get a nicer outcome. Would love to hear all feedback. Thanks. |

| 46 | | | Performer's name: | facdo | | Experience: | Almost 3 years as an adult, plus a few years of experience as a kid. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Video link: | https://youtu.be/IJ4Qi3SYE-E | | Title of piece: | Fugue No.2 in C Minor, BWV 847 | | Composer: | Bach | | Duration: | 01:51 | | Source of music: | Sheet music, IMSLP. | | Instrument used: | Upright Piano Kawai K-200 | | Recording method: | Pair of condenser microphones connected to an audio interface. | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | I wanted to submit a new piece I am working on, but I wasn't able to record it before the end of the recital submission deadline. So I am sharing an older recording instead.
This was my first fugue and I got really excited about it. It is one of the rare cases in Bach's Well-Tempered-Clavier where the fugue is easier than the prelude that accompanies it. I had fun learning the fugue, but the prelude was a nightmare.
There are obviously some issues with my performance, but it felt (and it still feels) really good to play it. It is a piece that I am keeping in my repertoire and that I don't seem to get tired from playing it. |

This is a redo , I have submitted this same piece in the past recitals over a year ago. So, think of it as a 'rerun" or another version, but here I re-recorded it too. It's probably better than the original submission a year ago ...I hope... but alas, it's here.
No feedback necessary. But ok if it's good |
