Week 4 – Play Through & Share

Priya Viseskul Very beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Priya Viseskul So much impressive work here Priya. Beyond your calm and very secure playing you have a a firm grasp on your tempo and the changing textures. Your parallel sixths are always well voiced and smoothly executed. The LH is well balanced whether it is playing the nebulous arpeggios or the melody. Your octave / chord passage work is very strong and of course your powerful finish.  You are at that wonderful place where you now know you can perform it honourably and get to concentrate on performing it as much as possible and fuss about tiny nuances rather than mechanical processes. It takes so much careful work to get there so Bravo! This was an excellent listen.

Astrida Thank you for listening, and Dustin Anderson thank you for the wonderful feedback! I will continue to work on this gorgeous piece for a while yet, which definitely needs more work to really secure the notes down so not to be a nervous wreck every time I am running through the piece 😅

Priya Viseskul Sounds beautiful!

Priya Viseskul Thanks for sharing. It’s a difficult piece. And ,yes‘ to record something can be sometimes a bit stressful. 🤣.    But you made it and I like your warm touch. 👍

Vidhya Bashyam Kerstin Thank you for listening 😊

Priya Viseskul One of my Rachmaninoff favorites. I like your tempo and your calm, sorrowful approach, very beautiful Priya.

Juan Carlos Olite thank you - and it was your powerful performance that inspired me to learn it so thank you again!

Priya Viseskul Priay, this piece has gotten more powerful and polished with each successive video you have posted .  Thank you for sharing your process with us and this resulting performance so full of pathos and trageday and defiance.  Just beautiful.

Priya Viseskul Romantic, passionate, flowing and elegant! Makes me want to hear your Chopin!

Noel Nguyen Thank you! and I look forward to your submission 😊

Peter Golemme Thank you for listening and all your feedbacks - very much appreciated 😊

Priya Viseskul that was quite something! Thank you!

Angela Fogg Thank you ❤️ btw, were you trying to get the ticket to LPMG January meet up? Just in case it's you, I'm planning to play it at the March meet up 🙂

Priya Viseskul yes it was! Someone advertised a spare ticket on Facebook but I wasn’t quick enough to get it. Congratulations for playing in March, I’ll look it up and see if I can join. It would be great to meet!

Sindre Skarelven thank you so much! it's an honour to receive a triple "wow" from you 😄 Your Florence Price is beautiful and is growing on me. I really agree with you that an outdoor performance setting would fit this piece perfectly and I hope you will have the opportunity to do that 🌸

Claire You create so beautiful atmosphere! I was thinking about your movements as touching water surface. Thank you! 

Astrida thank you so much!
