Admin Andrew wrote: WHOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! THOMAS!!!! I"M SO SURPISED!!!!! You did SOO WELL!!! I'm sure you're hoping for more than just me saying how great you did, you want some tips to improve even further don't you?

Hehehe Yesss!

Admin Andrew wrote:Alright, well here's what I can come up with, now keep in mind i'd say you played this VERY well, if i was marking you, I would've given you "First Class Honors" which it between 80-89 and is VERY VERY GOOD! I normally get first class honors for my pieces, and sometimes I get in the 90's as well, which is very tough to do, but it's possible.

Thats Awesome!! That was my goal, I said to Angela that I wouldnt post untill I felt confident I could get at least a 70

Admin Andrew wrote:At 1:25 you progressed into some quicker notes with the RH, I felt that some of them were slightly uneven, and it sounded liek you didnt' have full control of the notes at that time...

Yeah, I hear I got of to a "bad" start, but troughout parts of the performance I get these small "nervousattacks" when i pull of different parts I feel I pulled it of alot smoother when I get trough that first repetition! From 1.25+ I think I hear a more fluent run dont you think? =)

Tips taken! Ill try to stick more in the middle

Admin Andrew wrote:Your trills at 0:48-0:50 were VERY VERY well done, clean, quick and well voiced (very impressed)

Tnx Yeah, I usually nail 1 or two great trills. Like in this one, 2 of my trills are noticable less smooth that the one at 0:50
hehe.. But working on that aswell

Admin Andrew wrote:Now, around 1:58 you get to the octave section, this section looked more difficult than the rest for you, your RH hand looked tense and very ridged, I could see your hand locked in one position the key here is to keep your hand almost completely relaxed..

Yeah, now is when you get a bit fooled by the camera actually. Cause I have woorked alot to feel just like jello when playing this . Im just a tad tightening my two fingers, and just bouncing. (I watched how you do it in your ImprovRec, tryed ti imitate that)

But I hear you!! Ill parctice the voicing to get a better voice here!!

Admin Andrew wrote:On the chords at 3:20 Try to voice the TOP note of each chord in your RH so that you're highlighting the melody line, this will give a nicer more singing quality to your chords and the other notes will act as a filler, which makes the chord sound less blocky and more organic ^_^

Aaah Yeah, I understand! Ill work on that! I havent thought about that at all. Awesome!!

Admin Andrew wrote:On the VERY last two chords, when you play the 2nd chord you could hesitate and tease the audience for just a SPLIT second to make them listen for the last chord ^_^

I usually do that. But I had a nervous period since I felt everything was going so well I rushed it

Admin Andrew wrote:Overall, i'd give you a mark of 84 on the piece ^_^ VERY VERY VERY good work! I"m GREATLY impressed!! Anything that sounded bad up there were minor details that I said to help you keep learning! ^_^

Take care!!! Thanks SO much for this performance i GREATLY enjoyed it! I'm proud of you

Yaaay!!! Then my work is SOOO worth it! I was hoping over 80 and satisfied with 70 as I said to Your girl =)) hehe
Great to have something like this review to work for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its the thought of it that has kept me motivated to do that extra work on it.

Thank you SO much!! You are Awesome!

I tryed to record maby 10 times, and about 20-30 min at the time before I finally got that take!! So 4-5 hours!! Thats frustrating, hehe But now: Relefed!!

Thomandy
Thank you SO much!! Smile You are Awesome! sunny

You're VERY welcome, ^_^ You did some EXCELLENT work on it, the least I could do was try to give you a few ideas. I'm sorry if i pointed out things you already knew. I try not to do that to people! Please accept my appology for that.

Great performance!

Hehehe, nono!!! You GOT TO KEEP ON pointing out everything you see!!!!
Thats what I love about your feedback You arent afraid to be honest!! If I hadnt gotten that Fur Elise Feedback in my face as I did I would never have progressed like this!!!!!!!! Belive me!

This I a GREAT feedback. Cause I take ALL your tips and use them straight to the point the next time I go to the piano!!

So now: Apology for that apology hehehe!

Simply amazing! This piece is awesome and you performed it SO WELL!
I heard about your secret piece, so I was like: Hum..What it could be?

Ok! well, i'm glad my feedback didn't piss you off. Sometimes I get annoyed by people on youtube who try to give me advice like "oh you need to do somethign called rubato" When people assume I have no idea what they're talkign about, it's alittle annoying, since i've been playing since i was 5 years old. Anyway! I just try not to do the same thing I don't like to other people. But if you like me pointing out EVERYTHING I'll do that then, maybe it's a good reminder? I just don't want to get on your nerves

Hehe Aaah Good it wasnt to obvious then

zihanah wrote:

I try to parctice at least 1 hour every day. Usually 1-2 hours maby. Some days 3-4 hours, and just as many days 15-20min. But then I only do scales or somthing like that - WITH metronome Important I now do scales at 175bpm... Not totally under control yet. But, getting there! hehe

Yaaay Thanks Phi Its awesome to get such great feedback from the public when I have put alot of effort into something Tnx!!

Yes, practising scales works wonders. I never realised this until I started to do it, and now everything else seems to be getting a little bit easier

Thomandy, I wanted to congratulate you as well here in the forum. You really deserve it! As I said, you are an inspiration. Keep it up!

Casyopea wrote: As I said, you are an inspiration. Keep it up!

Total agreeing!

Wow, this is really nice Thomandy. This song is one of my favorites! In fact, when I just began playing piano, I worked on this song. But it was too hard for me. Also I notice now I got the fingering all wrong. Maybe I'll try this piece in the near future, I've got the sheet music so it can be done:)
Anyway, keep it up!

Okay, did you actuallt do this after just 7 months of playing the piano ? If you did your gonna have to tell me your adress so I can come and kick your ass cause that was awesome ! Congrats on that performance ! This actually motivated me to play another hour though my damn pinkie gave up on me 2 hours ago. NICE !

For å si det på bergensk JÆLLA BRA !

Hehehe Yeah I actually did. I live close to Oslo, but please dont kick my ass haha
Tnx On tip about the pinkie, if it hurts to much dont give it more asswoppin' It might hurt cause its week. Like the ringfinger. They are both naturally week. It would suck if you got a "scenebetennelse"

Hehe, takk takk

Yeah I would never have don that "scale" part that "good" if I hadnt practiced scales almost every day with metronome But I need as Andrew said, get it abit more even, so metronome, here I come!

And thanks for that Awsome compliment!

Hehe Thanks.. =)

Well, its more entertaining to get some different visuals aswell I guess. And as long as we got two cameras thats no problem. But I have to borrow a third one to get 3 angles. I guess thats no big problem either. Glad you like it
