Admin Andrew wrote:Hey Thomas,

I think the difference is in how me and the professor mark. I would give a 95+ to someone who is a professional performer. I would rarely give out a 90 unless it was almost perfect in every way. 60's to a barely pass, just stumbling through the music. I give 70's to good clean yet not the greatest performances, 80's to great performances with all the right notes and smaller things to improve it. 90's to amazing performances that are practically BLEMISHLESS, like soo amazing your ears are singing.

The big things for me was the sometimes blurry pedal and the lack of Stretto on the last page. I think I would be able to give you a higher mark with better sound recording stuff, cause that might have been a problem. and a real piano would help to. So it might not be your fault XD

Either way, i still consider it a great performance with a few small things to work on. The rubato you used was fairly good too I think you could still play around with it slightly more though.

I hope that helps you understand better? 82 would be the lowest I would give it. The thing about Art is you're never finished, it can ALWAYS get better SO i didn't want to give you an awesome mark and let you think there's nothing left to work on I could also accept giving you a mark as high as 90 but, I think you could use more of your body when you play, your arms shoulders elbow look a bit ridgid

You're getting SO much better though, don't let my comments make you feel bad, i would NOT be saying this if i didn't think you were up to the challenge, i think you're getting to the late intermediate starting to approach advanced stage.

I understand better now Smile

I was just a little paralyzed and confused Smile

Thanks for clearing it up for me Smile

Yeah, I agree on that, this is a piece I wont stop playing... hopefully. I said the same about moonlight sonata, but I havnt playd is since my performance Razz

Yup, it would be a lot easyer if you where in the same room, for sure!
About the body-movements - You are right. Its cause of the camera Razz

Im not like that when I practice,
I still feel a little lame if I where to move around like when Im practicing Razz

hehe - Gotto get some confidence on that! Smile

Yup, Im not feeling bad Smile

Just confused, but its clear to me now Wink

Thanks for taking the time!! I am very lucky that people like you spend their time like this! Its Unique Smile

It would be fun to go to Canada and meet you and play for you. Ill save up some money for tickets and a lesson Wink

... someday maybe Smile

by Thomandy Mon Jan 26, 2009 10:55 pm

Ah man... Im using way to many smilies Razz

by Admin Andrew Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:16 am

haha

no worries. I didn't want you to think i was displeased. Infact I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of typing all that up if I didn't think it was useful for you.

Smile

Yes! It'd be awesome to meet and play together some day! I think that maybe by the time we meet, you'll have learned so much that I won't have anything to teach you! So maybe we'll just meet as friend hahah

I just can't stop wondering: how do you compose a rag? ^^
Hope you can explain that stuf!

Really nice nocturne by the way! Wow!

Hi Well, the short story(basic rules)

In a classical rag there are 4 themes. They should be different but at the same time feel like they are in the same piece.
There usually is a intro aswell.

Pattern: Intro AA BB A CC DD

Each theme should consist of 16 bars, where the 16th bar is slightly different on the repeat to lead into the next theme.
The C-Theme(section) usually goes to the Subdominant key. If its in C then the C-Theme would be in F and the you can either keep the F key in the D as well or go back to the normal key. Its up to you. You can also keep the whole piece in One key

Those are the basics

Thanks

Thanks man!

But I got so more questions ^^

RH:Basically you take a melody and put it ''off-beat'',right?for example(Time signature 2-4 :RH 1/16 1/8 1/8 1/16 1/16 1/16 then LH 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8?

And LH: What note do you take to make the jump? the one of the key you're playing in opr what?

Im not the best at that, but staying in the key is safe at least, I got some errors on this thing that I think I will correct when I get around to do it. And bout the melody, its important to both have some on the beat, of beat and syncopations(mocing cross the bets) Look at rag to see what they do ect and analyze their patterns! Smile

i like the theme also the fact that it doesnt get repetitive, gj

the only advice i could give you is to develope some more left hand technique for improvising to spice it up a bit cheers

Well, the day I start to practice and try to learn how to improvise Ill do that Smile

At the time, I just do them for a video Smile

So this is basically the 4th time I have done and tried to improvise.
I want to learn how to play in different keys aswell, im not good at using the black keys in these kinds of improvs Razz

glad to see you got your first hit! this'll help you become a lot more popular! Smile

Hehe

Yeah, its fun Smile

Im todays #22 most viewed Musician WorldWide on youtube Shocked

But, its more because the sport-aspect with the video that made it a little hit. So I have only gained 4 subscribers today, but thats more than average, and that I got 14 000 hits in one day, is A LOT of fun Smile

Fame, hehe... nah Smile

by Admin Andrew Thu Jan 29, 2009 5:49 am

i remember when i used to get 4 subscribers a day Very Happy

i think i was averaging that about this time last year

so this time next year you could be doing really well Smile

Ah, I see

Yeah, It would be cool.
Its a little harder to do this youtubething from Norway, cause we dont got chances to get into a partner program and there are not Local honors, so when Taiwan gets into local honor lists cause of 3 comments. I need to challenge the global market. And then I need at least 50 comments to just get on the last page. And then another 30 to stay there. And A LOT more to get on the Week-lists, and I have come to understand that the lists are actually a subs-magnet if the right video gets there! Razz

But, as long as I think its fun to create videos, Ill keep on doing it Smile

When I started my focus was: I wanna show my skills(not that they where especially good the first 4months or so)
Then after the Fur Elise review you gave me, I shifted focus, did a better job, and I focused on entertaining and creating a channel with that purpose. So, Im happy with 425subscirbers in 9months. Thats an 2.7% if we see the sub vs channelviews.
Its the same a Xanning and you got 2.9% so you got a higher subvalue Smile

You entertain and educate.

Im also creating a couple of "lessons" now, cause Im soooo tired of getting the same questions everyday in my msg on youtube, so then its better to have a video on the channel I hope. I have been sending them to you all the time though, and some have joined the forum as well Smile
