I just love that 3rd Movement. My sister played it as well!
It's tad challenging at first, isn't it? In my opinion you manage to play it perfectly.
I'm not sure though, did you use the sustaining pedal at the end?
Also, did you use a special microphone for the recording? It's been pretty clear!
However, thanks a lot for posting your piano playing. |
Thanks. I did use the sustain pedal on the last section. It's a typical Mozart cadence where he stretches the I chord over several measures, so that harmony should be maintained until the end. It's probably hard to hear that though over a recording. I worked on the Alla Turca for about 6 months now, and that was the final result showcased at a student concert my teacher signed me up for
. I am currently working on the other movements. I'm finding the first one - the Theme and Variation to be a little challenging. But I will get it someday.
Rachmaninov is quite challenging to play. His music takes a lot of practice to master - there are a lot of details you need to pay attention to. I think my version sounds pretty close to how Rachmaninov would have played it himself. I'm also working on Prelude in G minor, which is coming along nicely.
As for the recording, I just use my phone actually. They're not professional by any means but just a way for me to track my progress. I'm glad they sound pretty good. I just have it in the same room where I practice. My girlfriend recorded the Mozart one though, since it was a performance.

Thank you. I have a few more older ones that I will share later on.
