Criticism

When you play, you tend to hear what you want to hear, and not always what you're playing. So yesterday, I recorded a few bits of the Mozart, so I could criticize better what I was doing.
Some things, I already knew : I do not know the piece well enough, so mistakes and hesitations are aplenty. But for some other things, I didn't know I played like a ...barbarian ? For in my head, I was hearing what I wanted to play, not what I was actually doing. Realizing this helps a lot. My ears need to learn to listen *wink*
I hesitated before uploading those bits on the net, but then, why not ? It can be interesting to listen to a piece which is not yet ready to be played, to hear mistakes and musical clumsiness. It helps thinking about the piece.

The first bit :
I've always got a problem with the tempo and rythm, and you'll notice the heaviness at certain moments of the right hand (looks like it's bouncing).


The second bit :
There are a few (musically) clumsy details. And I agree, the last chord is just a little bit too heavy...*clears throat*


The third bit :
It's ok. I should be less gentle with certain chords, though.


The fourth bit :
Two part here. I had to cut the second one, because the camera doesn't have a long memory. Speaking of this second part...It's more than clumsy. It should be more...witty, lighter ?


Fifth bit :
There's still work to be done. In the fast part, the left hand melody is not loud enough.


The sixth bit :
This is the end. Phew ! Now if you stick the bits together, you'll have a Mozart Patchwork, with its mistakes and all. You can think about what is wrong, what sounds clumsy and train your musical sensibility !
