G.F. Handel "ALLEGRO IN F" (Abrsm grade 4 2023-24)
Check out my rendition of Handel's "Allegro in F HWV 488," featured in the ABRSM Grade 4 2023-24 syllabus (A3). Styled like a "corrente" and possibly composed in 1717, this piece challenged me with its rapid semi-quavers. After much practice, I believe I've managed to play them smoothly and accurately.
This was the piece I chose for section A of my exam, where I earned a 29/30 in June 2023. Not perfect, but I was quite pleased with the result!
Enjoy the performance!

#bartok Presenting the final piece of Béla Bartók's Mikrokosmos Volume 3, akin to a two-part invention built on rhythmic somersaults. Its German title, "Holpriger Weg" (approx. "bumpy road"), perfectly captures its essence.

My rendition of "Billy's Song" by Valerie Capers (1804-1875), from the ABRSM Grade 4 booklet (B:1) for the years 2023 & 2024. This touching ballad is a heartfelt tribute to Billie Holiday, an incredible jazz singer whose music was shaped by her life's ups and downs, so to speak. In this piece the composer has probably tried to capture the warmth and intensity that characterized Holiday's unforg...

#bartok My take of "Broken Chords", exercise n.85 from Béla Bartók's renown Mikrokosmos. This piece was a challenge to me because you have to transition from one hand to the other as smoothly as possible... making it sound as if you were playing the arpeggios with only one hand! Bartók's Mikrokosmos offer six volumes with 153 piano pieces. They were written between 1926 and 1939 and range from ...

"Improvisation" (piece n.21) from Kabalevsky op. 39 "24 pieces for children". Quite reminiscent of Bach's two-part inventions, requires expressiveness, harmonic understanding, and a certain sophisticated and mysterious mood. I really love it!! P.S. This is one of the 3 pieces I have chosen to learn from this valuable collection, but all of these songs are worthwhile learning, or teaching. You c...

I think that the piece is played in perfect tempo.
If there's one piece of advice I can give you, it's: make linked pairs during sixteenth notes, otherwise it risks sounding too flat! Moreover, if this piece is played slowly,you have to be able to exploit the beauty of the sentences, and not just play them as they are written, don't forget that we are in a baroque piece! Congratulation for your play!
Thank you. What is tricky (and funny, in a way) about classical music is that you think you've played with the right intention, phrasing, dynamics etc.... but nothing of this reaches the listener 😅 I guess it's part of the game... Baroque is probably my favorite period ever, musically speaking. Thanks for passing by and taking the time to listen to this piece and articulate your comment. Best!
This is music.
Yes, definitely agree, Bach is Music!!
so beautiful‼💕
Too kind 🙏 For sure I love this Invention!
Beautiful
ASDFGFDAA THANK YOUUUUU
Lovely. As Colette described Bach, "that sublime sewing machine". My sister and mother used to play this piece, brings back many memories of times and places. Thank you.
I agree with you! Lovely memories indeed, thanks for listening
Медленно играть сложнее. Эту инвенцию, как по мне, очень круто играть в таком темпе, прямо пропевая.
Отличный темп и сыграно хорошо. 👌
Вы представляете насколько круто научиться так играть?!
Спасибо! Я так люблю это произведение!!
Lovely.
Thank you so much!!
Slow? To my ear that was the perfect tempo. So many Bach plyesrs crush the wonderful writing of Bach and much is lost in a blaze of flashing fingers
Thank you very much. Listening to it almost 2 years later I had the same impression too... At the same time, what is peculiar about this piece (and probably about every 2-part inventions) is that every speed you choose will reveal different details. If you play it slow, you will grasp the beautiful melodic movements, if you speed it up you will hear more harmonic effects that are created by overlapping the two voices. If you play it slow, this sounds "on the top" will not emerge so clearly... That's why I wanted to experiment :-D
I agree. Ultimately the goal is to make music worth listening to, not to show off the equivalent of keyboard gymnastic skills. If speed is the only goal, you can program computers to "play" any piece ever written far faster than any human ever will. (BTW, enjoyed this very much. Well done.)
@philmann3476 Thank you very much indeed 🙏🙏🙏
To mind it is far to slow. It is obvious that the technique is not sufficient to play faster. No pianist would play it at this rythm.
To my mind ....
I love this piece. You did such a great job. Your performance is just perfect. I will keep coming back to this one. Thanks for sharing. Thanks again for this fantastic gift today.
It's my favourite 2-part invention, and one of my favourite pieces ever... Many thanks for your nice words 💛
thanks lady
Thank YOU!
Nice to meet you,I Have a Grade1😊😊😊
Great!! I'll have my grade 4 exam in two days, let's keep fingers crossed!!
And this good
Good version
Thanks. This helped me a lot. Really thanks. ☺☺☺
Happy you found it useful!
I am learning this song and I am putting both hands together and I keep on getting confused with the left hand
Yes, it's definitely tricky! Play it super slowly and then from time to time, double the speed... and then go back to super slow. This process will help you more than increasing the metronome speed bit by bit. Just try and let me now. In any case, it takes time and patience :-D
Underated
Thanks for a really helpful video. Can anyone please explain the timing of this piece? I just don't understand how we're getting four beats in a bar when the time signature is 2/2? x
Hi, you have to count in two, in this way you have 2 beats in a measure (i.e. a beat every 4 eighth notes (as if they were sixteenth notes and quarter notes were eighths notes)... hope it helps!
Brava anna 😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤
You are using pedal all the piece?
I'd say yes (half pedal), probably except when the melody moves to the left hand where I wanted more definite sound
