If u feel like you're missing out on the first and the last octaves, go to the functions menu(there should be a functions menu on every keyboard) and shift the octaves to your liking, and ofcourse, you can buy pedals if you want too, hope that it helps:)

  • @MrTaiese
    @MrTaiese Год назад +20

    My pick will be No.3, the tempo is good being a polonaise must be danceable and in a military style (rhythmic drive strict) so the rubato is subtle. He is pretty good. The others are good too. When I was learning and teaching this polonaise, a few things is a must: Strict, Precision, Discipline and Drive. It’s gotta have these attributes because your making a grand statement 👍🏼 happy playing

  • @bobschweitzer4313

      I'm always surprised when people who never knew Chopin (or any other composer who did not leave explicit instructions in how something aught to be played many decades after their deaths in a totally different instrument) can say such things as: "Chopin would have been proud." Or.... "How this piece was intended to be played."

    Jokes aside, thanks for the opportunity to play! When I recorded this, I had just had my last piano lesson a few days prior, and was getting ready to move to college in less than a week. So it was a great chance to perform something for the last time (at least for the foreseeable future).

    @jeronimominino339 Год назад

    👏👏👏A very interesting, educational, and very well made video!
    Nr.2's rendition stands out memorably for me. Very appealing phrasing and dynamics clearly characterize and guide us through Darin's expressive take on this piece, which seems to have been informed by having carefully listened to old recordings of master pianists.
    And I also found that the somehow peculiar sound of his piano turned out to work twofold advantageously here: On a rather particular level, the crispiness we perceive in the recording presents us with instants of enjoyable, real silence between phrases, which adds up to the beauty of a well articulated musical discourse; and on a more general level, we get the impression that Darin is consistently invested in matching his playing to the idiosyncrasies of the specific instrument, in order to make the human-and-instrument symbiose sound at its best in all moments.

    You should make a RUclips poll for this.

    No. 3. 1 was also very good. Difficult choice! With 3, though, I felt the music inside my body.

    No.1 for me.
    Next time I would like to do Mozart Sonata no.11

    I'd vote for Theresa (No1) because of the lightness and sense of playfulness that I can hear in her interpretation.

    Theresa, No. 1, for me. She is so free in her tempo and keeps everything light and not overbearing.
