"In-progress" Recording - Chopin, Op. 9, No. 1

I'm a little hesitant to share this recording, for several reasons. I'll get those out of the way now:
  1. My piano is not in perfect tune.
  2. I cannot play this piece perfectly because ...
  3. The tempo is too slow throughout, but a little faster than I want in places.
  4. The polyrhythm sections are still a little wonky.
  5. I accidentally turned two pages in the middle of the piece and had to stop and turn back to the correct page.
  6. The final note of the piece wouldn't play the first two times on my 100-year-old piano, so that final note sounds like it's showing up to the party really late.
  7. The recording isn't a professional one, and (I think) the left hand sounds louder and more plodding than it does in real life. (I will let my new piano teacher be the judge of that tomorrow.)
I'm sure I could think another half-dozen reasons if I gave myself two or three more minutes, but I'll stop there.

Why am I posting this? Because I want to capture a moment of time as I (re-)learn this piece. I want to be able to listen to this recording and compare myself playing it three weeks, or three months, or a year from now. I'm hoping that (maybe) other piano students will get some benefit (or enjoyment, or a touch of schadenfreude, if nothing else) from seeing my progress.

Keep in mind I'm not looking for criticism or opinions. I know this isn't perfect, and I'm aware of what I need to work on. (As for the things I'm not aware of, my new piano teacher will let me know!) This is just what it's called in the title: An "in-progress" recording. I'll post another one in a few weeks, and we'll see if it sounds any better. :)

Eureka! Secondary Dominant!

I am such a nerd, and I love being a nerd! Today I was working on Section 5 of You Are My Sunshine, specifically on getting this section up to performance level. In other words, I was practicing being a performer , not an arranger . But then, of course, I came up with another idea. I had just played the delicate sixths and descending rag rolls of "when skies are gray" (I chord) and then moved to the parallel octaves of "you never know, dear" (leading to  IV). The shift sounded abrupt to me. Harsh. It needed something. It needed musical WD-40. Something to ease the hinge between textures. And then I stumbled upon it! Right before moving to IV, I can slip in a V7/IV — a secondary dominant! So I tried it, and it sounded so good that I actually yelled "Secondary dominant!" out loud in my house like I was Archimedes discovering water displacement in the bathtub. It's such a small thing. One little chord. But it smooths that transition, leaning the harmony ...

The Rusty Lock and Key

I'm in a room. There's a door in front of me. On the other side of that door is a whole world of adventure and imagination and joy and delight, but for the moment, I'm locked in this gray little room. The door itself has a lock that is all rusted. I've tried to open it in the past, but I've never gotten very far. Sometimes I try to scrape the rust off the lock. I also have a rusty old key that I occasionally try to polish. Each time, after I've made a little progress, I'll put it into the keyhole in hopes of opening the door. It turns a half a millimeter or so, but the brief excitement at my progress dies quickly when I realize, once again, the lock isn't opening. I set the old key aside, and from there I can forget about the door, the lock, and the world outside, for months—years, even. But then something happens—I hear birdsong, or I catch a glimpse of color—and I pick up the key and start picking away at the stubborn rust. That dark little room is my ...

Piano Preferences

I got a new piano bench this weekend. It's an adjustable bench, and I'm hoping to have it for a long, long time. It replaces the kitchen chair, which replaced my old piano bench, which I'd used for 30+ years. So I'm a faithful piano bench owner, I am. I didn't get to practice this weekend, so I was looking forward to tonight's practice session using the new bench (which I've named Gilbert). Sure, I planned to practice my Shostakovich ... but I also planned to experiment with the new bench. My old bench was too high. The kitchen chair, obviously, was too low --plus, it wasn't flat, like a piano bench should be. I would get a backache before I ever made it through my warm-up scales. I started with the bench low and practice for a few minutes. Backache. I moved it up a bit. Backache. Moved it up a little more. Backache, but not quite so bad. Finally I found a good height and practiced for a half-hour before the sleepies started to take over. Then I compared...
