Jarkko鈥檚 practice diary

Hi all, I'm currently practicing Chopin Ballades (No 1 and 4), some Nocturnes and some Beethoven Sonatas. My schedule is unfortunately quite tight right now.  I wish I had more time to practice the piano.

    • Jarkko Janhunen I loved this piece. I just finished learning it this summer--so satisfying to play, and on a fall evening? Even better! I thought you brought a lot of passion to this recording. Thank you for posting.

    • Jarkko Janhunen Great practice session! I thought you moved really well between elegance in certain parts to dark and stormy in other sections.

      Jarkko Janhunen Bra Jobbat!  I love your lyrical phrasing and your judicious use of rubato while also moving the piece along.  It sounds like you have working on this, and lived with it, for a long time.
