We also explore with my teacher different ways to add variations in such a short piece. It was a good challenge to try to put the right hand in the background while letting the left hand sign. 10 Happy Farmer (Froehlicher Landmann), was a great exercise for the left hand, because it carries the melody almost the entire piece. I liked the piece a lot and was very happy my teacher assigned it to me. The last section is very fun to play with the octaves. The first section, with the staccato notes, was very deceiving because both hands move in parallel, but the fingering is of course different in each hand. 7 Hunting Song (Jaegerliedchen), was a big challenge back then when I learned it.
The video link in the submission takes you to the playlist where you can find the two videos. I think the two pieces work very well together and showcase the playfulness of the first half of the Op. Therefore, I am submitting two recordings I did last year of Schumann's Album for the Young. Unfortunately I am not yet finished with the piece I wanted to submit for this recital. Microphones Rode MP5, Facusrite Scarlett 2i2, Ableton Live Lite 10, Audacity I would have continued practicing except that today my piano came down with a sticky key, so I guess it was time to call it a day for this submission.Īlbum for the Young, Op. What I find encouraging though, every time I put in more practice I got better, even if only by a little bit. I knew this one was challenging - just playing the notes is hard, and beyond that it's hard to pull off the little details. And my thought was, how come she gets to play that, it sounds so much cooler than what I'm playing! 283, and at the time another student was playing this sonata. I remember the first time I played Mozart - my teacher assigned me the sonata K. I just adore this piece and I hope my listeners will enjoy hearing it. I tend to get overexcited near the end and lose the thread, which you will hear in this recording. There are a few places that still need a bit of work-a couple of trills (my first time using 5/3 for a trill) and the octave passage, as well as some tightening up on the fast parts. I think I enjoyed every one of the 1400 minutes I spent learning this piece.
I really wanted to work on one and my teacher picked this one for me from the choices I suggested. I find Scarlatti's Sonatas to be delightful to play and have sight read and casually played quite a few over the past year or so.
General Comments only: Polite, supportive, suggestions for improvement Henle's Selected Scarlatti Piano Sonatas (book 4) I noodled around for a while on my own before starting lessons again a bit more than a year ago.
So, this piece is called "In the Journey" and it reflects my own self-discovery in the process of laying out emotions on the piano keys.Ĭurrently in Berlin, originally from New Mexicoġ2 years of lessons as a child, restarted after a 23 year break. I feel very humbled and yet proud that my music helps people heal one movement at a time. This is the second I am submitting a piece of my own to this recital after publishing several albums to Spotify (under Snowy Overtones) nudged by a good friend of mine who started to use this music for her dance classes with Parkinson's' patients. In that year I recorded over 30 improvisations which was a new experience and new challenge for me as I never saw myself as an improviser.

Unfortunately don't have any piece I polished specifically for a recital, just a spur of the moment decision to partake! Feel free to give any thoughts or critique.Ģ021 was a year that continued to adjust everyone's perspectives on who they are in this world, and who they need to be. Three things I would love to improve consistent tempo, increase speed on the broken chord/arpeggio near the end and better dynamics on the 'climax'. I'm still planning to work further on this piece in the future. This is one of my favorite pieces from one of my favorite movies. I've been playing for 9 months with a long break somewhere in between. Mia & Sebastian's theme (from La La Land)
