But your piece is inspirational Rolf. l look forward to hearing more in the near future.

Thank you very much Paul
A Yamaha grand that's awesome, lucky you! I must get myself one of those some day... Of course after I get a big CCD cam and a 20" RC and... oh well

Thank you David
It's not perfect I agree, I might record another version some time. Unfortunately it's difficult to find time between work and when my 9 month old son needs his quiet sleep
At least astrophotography is pretty quiet.

Good effort, but needs a bit more feeling. Nice to see someone doing classical music.
Is Chopin your favourite? What about Mozart, Bach and Beethoven, to name a few? |
I learn from the score, but to play these kinds of pieces you have to learn it by heart - sort of like riding a bicycle. Once you think too much about what you are doing, you loose track. You can't focus on where the individual fingers go, at least only very limited. If it was a slower/simpler piece then certainly yes, one could look to the score for aid while playing, but generally not with Chopin
So the score would only be useful for learning it all over again if I had to start from scratch, if that makes sense?
Yes Chopin is my favourite, but I've played Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Debussy and may others too, they are all great.
