Chopin Mazurka in G minor, op. 24 no. 1 | Marco Vitaliti
Tricky tricky mazurka, one of those pieces my instinct hasn't been able to find some sort of satisfying enough interpretation ideas to begin to work with. Every way sounded odd.
Listening to some interpretations, I noticed the second theme is played in two different ways: some plays it softly, some plays it very brillantly. I chose the brilliant side of the continuum, although I tried not to be so extreme in it.
Another thing I thought about when practicing this mazurka was Chopin's notation about pedals. Provided that pedal use is always relative (it depends how dry the place where you're playing is), on our modern instruments, Chopin's pedals shouldn't be taken literally most of the time. That's something easy to notice in general, but I thought about it a lot more than usual when playing this mazurka.

Rachmaninoff Morceaux de Salon, Op. 10 no. 5 - Humoresque
มุมมอง 206วันที่ผ่านมา
This one is the workhorse of my childhood. I guess it was kind of impressive to see a small kid pull off this piece, a piece that, even being more than enjoyable, is definitely more muscolar than properly difficult, therefore not as impressive when played by grown-up. An interesting thing about this piece is that it looks like it exists in two versions. The first is the one I've known this piec...
Chopin Mazurka in C minor, op. 30 no. 1 | Marco Vitaliti
มุมมอง 27514 วันที่ผ่านมา
I gave a read to a lot of Chopin's mazurkas in the last few days. Initially, I didn't find this one particularly friendly due to the akward finger changes that are needed to play most of the bars with the acciaccaturas, but once I got used, I couldn't help but fall for it. Next week is Rachmaninoff Humoresque op. 10's turn, and after that, guess what's the only piece missing to complete Rach op...
Rachmaninoff Morceaux de Salon, Op. 10 no. 3 - Barcarolle
มุมมอง 22021 วันที่ผ่านมา
Did I already write that Rachmaninoff's op. 10 is very underrated? This barcarolle is as beautiful as it is tricky. It's a piece I used to play when I was a kid (like the rest of op. 10), but honestly, I had a kind of rough time recording it. First, it felt too rushed, so I slowed it down. Then I realized and fixed a couple of reading errors I hadn't found in my teenage years. Nevertheless, I w...
Bach Prelude and Fugue No.6 (D minor) Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1
มุมมอง 1.8Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Praeludium 0:00 Fugue 1:31 D minor is one of my favorites preludes, maybe even my absolute favorite in the WTC. It's one of those pieces that just "existed" for me until I heard one interpretation in particupar that made me fall for it. In this case it was Richter's interpretation (this could be said for the whole WTC to be honest). The main challenge I faced regards the fugue though, its ornam...
Chopin Mazurka op. 63 no. 3 in C sharp minor
มุมมอง 948หลายเดือนก่อน
Initially, the tempo I was using in this mazurka was considerably faster (the first version I recorded lasted about 30 seconds less!). I was quite satisfied with it actually, except for the sotto voce section, which just didn't make sense. Then I tried to listen to some interpretations, and it's to my surprise I found out all of them were much slower than how I was thinking it. That shows how m...
Bach Prelude and Fugue No.2 (C minor) Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1

Praeludium 0:00 Fuga 1:21 Compared to the C major prelude and fugue, this one balances out the overall difficulty, with a less complex fugue (3 voices instead of 4, less developments, less strettos, more free sections) but a way more challenging prelude (and you could rightly say every prelude of the WTC is harder than C major Book 1). #piano #bach

Praeludium 0:00 Fuga 2:16 The famous prelude in C Major which opens the Well Tempered Clavier is a nice and easy to learn piece which gives a kind welcome to the interpreter who is starting his/her journey trough this monumental and legendary series of compositions. It's essentially a piece without a melody, since it's just made of a series of chords in arpeggio. On the other hand, the 4 voice ...
Scriabin Prelude in A minor , Op. 11 No. 2
มุมมอง 399หลายเดือนก่อน
This prelude is a typical example of how, in the early period, Scriabin had a very Chopin-inspired style, with a lot of musical lines that make sense on their own and which give a lot of voicing choices to the interpreter. Quite a lot of rubato, too. There's that typical restlessness that's so typical of Scriabin, though. What's your favourite Scriabin prelude in op. 11? #piano #scriabin

In 1913, the Paris Conservatoire asked Ravel to write a piece for a sightreading competition, and the French composer made this short and delightful prelude.

I've sometimes mentioned there are some pieces I used to practice and play a lot when I was a kid towards which I got some hard feelings, often because I played them too much and at the same time things never clicked with those pieces, or I was never able to play them well enough.

The remaining three pieces weren't my favorites, and I couldn't especially stand this nocturne, ...

This isn't the most difficult etude, but I swear bars 9 to 16 made me sweat for a lot more than I'd like to admit before I was satisfied enough to record this piece. Convincing myself to arrange bar 69 with both hands instead of being stubborn and playing it only with the right hand made things simpler too. #piano #chopin #etude

    The low notes in the bass are tied in the beginning several measures. There are several other places where you mistakenly place them throughout the piece, such as when the main theme returns in octaves, and measure 29 etc. Your playing is very fine. Just wanted to point that out to you in case you didn’t notice during your study of the score. It’s a mistake I’ve noticed many pianists make. If you have a middle sostenuto pedal on your piano, use that to connect those tied low bass notes. It’s been said that Liszt composed those Consolation in this way so as to make use of the newly-invented sostenuto pedal at that time.

    • @marcopianoplayer

      Yeah I know all of that, I didn't play it with tied bass notes because I wasn't a big fan of how it was sounding and I also noticed a bunch of pianists used to repeat some bass notes ignoring the ties. I decided I liked that approach more (it sounded so much better for me), so I took some decisions!
