konykon4: why only 1:48!
pcswalnut: nicely done!! although you play at slower
tempo, it is very expressive
PAChadClancy: Beautifully played. I like it slower. It makes
the piece more expressive
cheerfreakKE: i like it slower , :)
MomoIsMyHero: This is sooo good. I love it. It is too slow,
but I love it that way. And there's no right or
wrong when interpreting music.
PadsterDood: This is too slow. On the score, the melody is in
quavers and the arpeggios between the hands in
semis. Tempting as it is to play this piece
slowly, there is also another reason to 'up' the
tempo: the pedal markings. At a slow speed the
notes will blur into each other, particularly
when the Eb bass has to be held over two bars. I
suspect you aren't faithfully rendering the
composers intentions because you have realised
that the pedal would create too many overtones.
Beautifully played, yet wrong.
Manlyman47: Wow...so beautiful.
thomandy: Awesome! I love Grieg!! *im Norwegian!* hehe
