@Hazel LH is well-played, first phrase has lovely vocal sound: your vibrato is appropriate for this mazurka's long tones. Help the sounds be more melancholic:…

Re: Group 3
@Natalie Peh Good LH accuracy. Phrasing at 0:39-41 is natural. Observe the rhythm more specifically: this Prelude is a stylized mazurka, therefore dotted rhythms cannot be triplets.…

Re: Group 3
@Andrea Buckland yes the change of colour at 0:10 is exactly what I hoped you'd do. Do this more! First two F-sharps of bass line need a similar approach: don't repeat two tones the same way.…

Re: Group 3
@Sindre Skarelven good ear, all bass notes are in tune. Listen more to repeated notes - sing them with a dynamic direction and phrase shape. In A-flat major give your voice a new colour.…

Re: Group 4
@springgrass good start, you're using your upper tessitura and following the melody's direction. Next steps: a bit more specific in tone on the 8th, 16th, and 32nd notes (m.…

Re: Group 3
@Andrea Buckland Yes this is the right idea and it is also not so easy! But your singing sounds exactly as I hoped in lyrical sense - we need more focus and breath support to sustain the same bass…

@Lc good work on Op. 52 so far - this is a very tough piece to capture in the voice and takes a lot of practice. A few details about the 16ths in theme 1:…

Re: Group 1
@Cliff Pleatman Listened to your video - your colour changes on couplets are natural and well-suited to the first phrase. Listen to triplets in your voice, they're all currently accenting first note,…

Re: Group 1
@Bryan Sable the swell in your voice when harmonies change in mm. 1-2 is precisely the idea intended by this assignment. When our ear catches the changes of harmony it intuitively wants to switch to…

@Karen Wood your analysis is on point, well done. Singing and playing bass are fluently in tempo. One observation I have is about your breathing: Chopin’s phrasing often comes with the necessity to…
