tommyberlioz: Congratulations on a great performance! In
particular, I thought the tempo of the middle
section was spot-on. I hope, then, you'll
welcome some constructive criticism. (1) bar
37 is marked 'pp'; bar 40 is marked 'dim'. You
started that section very loud indeed, and then
got gradually louder -- the exact opposite of
Brahms's text. (2) You added some significant
rubato in bars 45--47 which, again, isn't
marked. (3) Watch the right-hand legato
fingering in the final bars -- try to reduce the
pedal.
luigiperso: , shut the hell up and sit at the back of the
class.
SaxSanchez33: keys softer at the end. Hey I really love this
tune, and you're one of the better interpreters
of Brahms pieces. As we know Brahms had big
hands, but he had control over all his
ligiments, therefore if we don't have that
reach, we need to have even more control so we
can play those 4 and 5 note chords softly, or
loudly, and be sure you make the melody sing
above the fluff. Overall its very good :-)
SaxSanchez33: quarter notes on the third page, its supposed to
be soft, but because of the space of the notes,
we tend to hit them harder, but be sure you have
enough control to where you hit them softer, and
you're very expressive at the Tempo 1 section,
good job, but make sure you're louds are
louds and your softs are soft, and don't speed
up in between. oh on the transition from the A
to B section get so quiet that its almost
inaudible, its a nice effect. get softer, and in
this case it means hitting the
SaxSanchez33: Hey man I like it, you keep it slow in the
beginning, many players don't do that, they take
it faster, but 60 bpm-70 is good, but you
flucuated tempos in the eigth note add libs
in the variation m.5 and 13, its okay to do a
little put not enough to where it throws of
listeners. the Allegretto section should be a
tad bit faster, and be sure you have a good
tempo feel throughout it. I felt it rushing in
some places and slowing down in others. The
jumps especially. oh and softer on those
anotherfoolonthehlLL: I can't believe these comments. Cubus . . .
You are one of the finest Brahms interpreters
I've ever heard. The subtle passion in your
playing.. the painful restraint... you get it.
You really get it. You are skilled in your
hands... but equally in your heart. Thank you
so much for sharing this with us. My god.. the
depth with which you execute these pieces.... my
god... you make me 'love'.... thank you..
Radeo: i agree
Vulturer: I'm loving every note.
klyde4parliament: This piece is so lush and beautiful that it is
tempting to play it slow (and I often fall
victim to that temptation) but I think it
benefits from a faster pace. Nice recording
though.
pianomangabe: beautiful piece and very well played.
behindtheaegis: get off your high horse, you fuck. this isn't
a competition
redwoodmusic46: I'm also playing this piece right now :) I think
it's pretty good ~you mainly just need a better
piano! Also, you should try to fix the bad
habit with your pinky finger curling when you're
not using it...
lee20001000: Its great!! Loved it! Thanks!
egitnyc: I think you're not being fair. You can
actually SEE the legato fingering. I think
you're panning this because it's a digital
piano. You can only hide behind the pedal to a
certain extent.
Sari372: A bit too slow... But very nice=)
PianoMan8912: This needs no pedal work; totally legato. You
are hiding under the pedal, and you are losing
control. You are not together.... and the sound
of a digital piano is always perfect. Try this
on a real piano, do some legato work, and
I'll reconsider the repost.
swingballbros: I really have to say (like lots of other
people), that you have a phenomenal set of
recordings on The Tube: every single one
captures the whole piece perfectly, the emotion
you create is astounding, unlike most other
recordings on here. You've made this, along
with the Op. 117, No. 1 Intermezzo two of my
favourite pieces of all time, thanks so much
mate.
Fretboarder7: Hmm, i'm view number 666, how ominous haha.
lilcomposer: this is a phenomenal recording. i have no
idea why there are such few views of this.
