i feel that your left should be softer and lighter

i agree, but i don't see why you shouldn't move your head. Usually I involve everything I can about myself into the song, to give it more meaning and thus, more expression.

Relax, play it slowly and let it get up to speed naturally. Some people find the L.H. too loud but I like it that way esp. in the first section where the bar has 3 repeated "a's".

Relax and don't move the head. Left hand is too loud Practice slow

It seems like you're struggling. Try relaxing your shoulders and chest. Those two factors are contributing unecessarily to the difficulty of the piece. Make sure your wrist anticipates what direction your fingers are going on the runs. If the run is going high, your wrist should bend laterally to the right before the fingers get there. This is a more effortless way to increase speed because your wrist is taking up alot of the work that you're now doing only with your fingers.

I'm sorry but you're too good for me to critique. Perhaps you ought to find someone on you tube who plays well and send 'em a message asking them for some criticism. Good luck and it sounds great to me :) *****

Thanks! Great job! As I think, the end of the piece seems to me slightly sharp, but in general you performed it well!

i would use a little more pedal, start out softer in th emiddle section and also speed up more during the run right before it

nice job andre

yeah, the middles def a little too slow and you sound pretty stiff. maybe you just havnt been playing it long (: make sure your right and left hands are together especially on the descending 8ths
xwildfire, at 02/20/2008 23:16, says:
Not bad! Your right hand is a little shaky on certain notes and your left hand is too heavy, it sounds like it's competing the right, the melody, in volume, and that is a definite no, lol. Also, during the bridge, you seem to slow it down a bit too much - it sounds misplaced. You can loosen up a bit as well - your fingers sound very stiff, as is your body. Try relaxing your hands, it'll help your playing and help you reach certain notes/play faster. I hope that helps!

Muy bien chico, tienes gusto para tocar y eso cuenta mucho.

I just finished this piece. Overall its not bad, but at the beginning start off much softer. It's marked piano. You're playing the entire thing in forte or fortissimo it sounds like. The ending is marked pianissmo and it sounded more like a sforzando. WOrk on your dynamics more and contrast them a bit and it will sound even better.
