It sounds very carefully practiced. You have the cantabile (singing). It needs more wind under the wings to fly, in my opinion. I suggest somewhat faster tempo, andante= at a walking pace, more or less. I think of it as a baritone/ soprano duet, the broken chords like a natural process going on it's own.
For me you are one of the cleanest and perfect piano players. Every note has been presented like a diamond and heard with purity. Terrific control over fingers. Too good. Sir, how much time do you or did you practice? And when did you start learning piano ? God bless you.
Thank you! I started piano lessons in 1970 at age 7. I don't practice very much any more (just here and there when I have time) since I am too busy teaching and making videos, but in my schooldays in university 25-30 years ago I practiced probably five hours a day.
It was really nice to hear from you. I have started learning piano at the age of 50, before that I started learning Tabla, an Indian percussion at the age of 10. Thank you so much.
Hello, how do you do? I write a comment for the first time. I love this suite. Your performance is so delicate and beautiful. Thank you so much for posting. By the way, I'm a Japanese male, 52 years old. I play piano, too. I'm not a professional pianist, neither a piano teacher, though.
Dear Cory, I like your playing and your video lectures they are beautifull but I´m not very well in English and understand not well. Do you have someone from Czech republic who could translate your video lectures? Or do you have some book with playing technic what can I read slowly with the translator? I´m 49 old and I started from zero four years ago play piano and love it very much. I would like to have your skype lectures but my English not good for it. So your videos are exelent. Best regards
como hago para aprender a interpretar las obras como usted Maestro!!!! alguna obra para que me ayude la agilidad de mis dedos.? saludos desdd Bolivia !!!
Two things to always do: 1) keep open hands and stretched out fingers and avoid falling into 5-finger positions, that is, try to always stretch into octave positions since the octave (not the 5-finger position) is the default hand position in virtually all 19th century music; 2) never play your thumbs at the end or tip of the white keys but rather closer to the black keys in order to be ready to play black keys with the thumbs when you need to. These are probably the two most important things that 90% of pianists do not know about or pay attention to, which ultimately prohibits them from playing many pieces they wish they could play. These are the two most important things that contribute to the "economy of motion" used by great pianists like Horowitz and others.
Great music sir, excellent touch
so pure melody you've expressed on notes
i love it so much 🎶
Very nice. I would love to hear you play MENDELSSOHN'S complete Songs Without Words cycle.

Gorgeous - but I agree with another comment, it needs to move!
