If it sounds good. :p In all seriousness, it depends on the context. I'd say "finger pedaling" works best when the Alberti bass accompanies a...
A good alternative to the op. 49 would be op. 14 n°1. It's not usually among the most popular ones, but if it hasn't caught your attention before,...
I seriously think the scale video alone should be reason enough to disqualify this guy as a piano teacher. If it's not enough, have a look at...
Okay, it's quite a stunt, but where's the music in that? Godowsky's studies on Chopin's Etudes are beautiful pieces that have a definitive,...
I'm sorry, Chris. Because of chronic tendinous issues that have caught up to me, I'm going to have to keep computer usage to a minimum for a while...
I don't have much to add to the previous comment, but I just wanted to tell you this sounds very promising! Keep it up, we're all holding our...
... and this is where I realize that I actually know little to nothing about the man. Time for some reading, I guess! I'll try to cook something...
As for one last item of chamber music (for now, at least), here's the third movement of Clara Schumann's beautiful-and-unjustly-neglected trio for...
Great work! I enjoyed it a lot, especially the energetic and rhythm-driven fugue. Looking forward to hearing more recordings for you.
Nice repertoire choice. I love Grieg's Lyric Pieces, although I'm only familiar with the selection that Leif Ove Andsnes has recorded. They would...
A shame there isn't any Piazzolla on the site yet! In an attempt to remedy this, I'll post two recordings of Piazzolla arrangements for piano trio...
Funnily enough, I had never imagined it could mean something other than "sails". It's probably because of Debussy's numerous water-pieces (La mer,...
Well, since I've seen some chamber music on the site, I thought I'd post some of my own. For starters, here's one of Fauré's most often...
Thank you, Monica. By the way, I've just heard Mr Djordjevic's version on the site, and wow! Not only is it brilliantly executed, but I am also...
Excellent work! I've been studying the op. 117 as well (working my way to n°2 at the moment), those are great pieces to practice, way harder than...
Well, I know you can barely hear that in the recording ( :( ), but I was actually rather comfortable with the octaves themselves, so I wasn't...
For the record, I thought the bass-boosted version sounded a bit better as well.
Thanks for the feedback! :) Please put it up - that will be extra incentive for me to get the piece back on track and to replace it with a better...
Nice little piece indeed, although I imagine only a string orchestra could truly do it justice. Not that your playing or the transcription are...
Well that was lovely, and definitely genuine Poulenc (which I enjoy). Some bits were reminiscent of his Nocturnes, and I think I even heard a...
