Same exact way I started playing! Now two years later I learned moonlight sonata because it was what kousei played in the beginning and im halfway through ballade in gm
I fell in love with this piece the same way as you did. I watched a ton of recordings of this piece and I can say sincerely that you played this piece better than anyone else I ever listened to. It's to the point that it brought back a lot of memories and I can't thank you enough for this. I wish you the best in your piano journey. Keep sharing what you do, you're amazing !
I love the name of your channel! That’s really sweet thank you for leaving a note! There are many wonderful recordings I’ve found on TH-cam, and I was really inspired by some like the Horowitz interpretation. This piece was so rough for me to be honest - keep at it!
@@luciusliu5733there’s also a loves joy that you often hear at weddings! I actually played this at the show in April. So good to hear from you! Hope you’re still practicing hard 😊
Hey man, I love this recording. The warm sound of course your playing is amazing! I was wondering if you would be kind enough to make a short video explaining how you setup yours mikes / edit your audio and video. I would greatly appreciate it. Best of luck and thank you once again!
Hi! Will certainly try - the microphones are AKGs and were positioned to try and balance treble and base. They connect to a grace pre amp and then we use pro tools to take in the data. But then for mixing we have an amazing sound engineer that helps take out the deficiencies from this boxy room setup to make the tone more warm and rounded. And then for video we just have a whole lot of cameras rolling. If you get it all in one cut, it’s extremely easy for a video editor to cut and paste everything because their tech is super automated. I wish I had the time to do it all myself but I will try to share more when I can!
I love your interpretation, It sounds like you spent quite a bit of time on 1:45 to 2:20, I always have struggled with the staccato right hand there even after this many years!
amazing performance, I dont want to be too negative here but I just want to point out something 3:51 is too stacatto thats not how it shoudl sound i dont know if you purposefully did it that way but I think it would sound better if you kept that part sustained
Thanks for taking a listen! I took inspiration from the (kind of crazy) Horowitz interpretation but if I do a careful read of the score I would agree probably some pedal flipping would make sense there. Let’s see if I remember the next time I play a concert 😂
@@Pianissemoit is all challenging honestly. When I first started out the jumps on the right hand on the recap were tough. Take your time and use a metronome a million times over as you work through things 🎉
learning the A Major section rn, how do you play the arpeggios in the left hand with much relaxation and fluency? is there specific fingering for them? also great performance, you're underrated af
This is really kind! Thank you for the encouragement! I don't do this professionally at all so this means a lot! My suggestion is that there are a total of 9 notes in the arpeggio on the left hand. Left hand: 5 2 1 4 3 2 1 Right hand takes over with 1 2 and plays incoming melody with 4 (5 2) I hope this works for you but do whatever fits your hands well! Good luck!
@@cadsisgoat I’m sure you will! Share it when you’re ready! Never underestimate the value of metronome training all of the sections until they’re super secure so you can take whatever rubato you want to comfortably! I look forward to it 😊
You just casually have a Steinway in your house
Amazing performance

I can still hear the metronome ticking 😢
It sound very good & appreciate your play. what is your tip of recording of sound?
Thank you! You have to find a good microphone! Two will do per piano. We use AKG microphones that we connect to a grace preamp!
amazing performance, I dont want to be too negative here but I just want to point out something 3:51 is too stacatto thats not how it shoudl sound i dont know if you purposefully did it that way but I think it would sound better if you kept that part sustained

@@twopianojourney im actually learning this piece though lol im like barely before that part with the 4/4 arpeggios
@@twopianojourney well actually a little bit before the cantabile part but still around there tho
@@twopianojourney sorry for all the yapping, but what would you say is the hardest part of the piece?

@@twopianojourney thank you so much! this cld finally help me advance to the first section but with the underlying quaver voice
Wooow, how long is ur steinway and how much did it cost!
We have two Steinway B’s in the studio! One is my mom and one is mine but we share 😂 and they have very different personalities 😊
@@twopianojourney woow, I envy you! it must be a heaven
how long have you been playing piano
Since I was 5! But I started practicing seriously when I was 23 after stopping when I went to college!
@@twopianojourney wow thats amazing this my favourite piece now i am 15 and i started playing piano 1 month ago i hope i can play it like you
@@cadsisgoat I’m sure you will! Share it when you’re ready! Never underestimate the value of metronome training all of the sections until they’re super secure so you can take whatever rubato you want to comfortably! I look forward to it 😊
