great

I'm a sucker for a goos pianist.

DaveTheMusicMan responds:

A goos pianist, huh? Well, when I type that into Word, it suggests that I change it to goose....so you're a sucker for a goose pianist? My oh my, I wish I could hear a goose play this piece...I'd laugh so hard I'd crap my pants! lol

Well sure

This is not really your stuff. I have heard brahms songs before and they are good, but not my fav. Great job playing the piano, but I thought NG audio portal was for your own music? I don't know how to grade you for this song. It really isn't a remix, but a replica of the original. Hmm. Okay well I'll still vote you a 5, but my review may be a bit more critical. So effort is good, but the effort to make a new song is really not there. Originality...well the song has already been made so not really original. Diversity..well brahms is an amazing composer so he deserves the diversity score to be off the charts. Clarity. You got a good microphone to record your music. Overall a 8/10. Keep the classicals coming. You already have more talent than most of the NG artist here. However, I think my sister and I played this song when we were still in piano lessons. I quit though. Hated memorizing other peoples' music. Bye for now

DaveTheMusicMan responds:

Hmm...that was my concern...the whole "This is only a recording" thing...

I noticed winterwind posted a recording of his a while ago, so I thought "What the heck? I spent so long learning this, why not?" I agree that reviewing this kinda thing is hard...lol...so just do what winterwind did and give all 10s! XD

Rhapsody*?

i think
DOOD i love this piece, its one of the few piano solo pieces by him i like.
This is just my taste but i kinda felt it didnt have the true agitato feeling it was supposed to have, some parts were slurred together that werent.
the key change to d minor was played very well, no complaints there but the loud 3 chords that lead back into the main theme shouldve been more accented and more importantly, staccato.
those 2 long scale scale runs were executed NICE
the first note of the B major key change made me smile, dolce indeed.
no complaints on that section either.
the A tempo woke me up lol
one thing actually, about the first and the second time u played the D minor section, I prefer to play the A in the middle voice very quiet so it stays with the middle voice and makes the top voice sound like it has a quarter rest, and u hear only __ D E... __ D E.... ya know?
even tho the A is supposed to be shared wit the top and middle voices.
iono thats my taste, and i heard a few recordings do it like that.
BRAVO MAN
that was intense. I tried learning it once and i got kinda far but lost interest. :/
great job man, even tho a lotta ppl here in NG wont be able to appreciate this nearly as much as it should so keep posting ur recordings man i would love to hear em.
Im currently learning la campanella
which i might upload wen i learn it fully
its pretty hard as crap
PIANISTS, UNITE! *fist in air?*

musically,
Winter

DaveTheMusicMan responds:

Ahhhh!!! NOooo!!! I spelled Rhapsody wrong! God, wtf is wrong with me!?

Now that my rant is over...

Thanks for the review! Please post la campanella when ur done!

PIANISTS, UNITE!
