My dream is to study at a conservatory, seeing this video is very reinforcing for me because i have never really known the exact standards that you need to be to get into one

The fugue is extremely well put together. You considered each voice. So wonderful.

Great program and great playing, congratulations 👏👏👏 Hope you get to join your dream conservatory!

It feels so nice to have (one of) the best Beethoven Sonata !!!

Great program and great playing!

Great program, nice playing. Keep going!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your beautiful performances

Congratulations! So deserved. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great choose of works. I am currebtly lerning a program for my conservatory in cordoba to bachelor's degree. Schuebrt sonata in a minor, chopin octaves etude, rachmaninof op 39 no 2, the same scriabin piece, and villalobos bachiana no 4 prelude. Didnt knew bartok elegie , is really insane

Congratulations on getting in!!

Nice playing! One of my students also going to play Beethoven op2 no 1 I'll definitely recommend him your rendition especially for the first movement

Congrats, great playing. :)

Very wonderful 4th movement!

Beautiful😊🥰

Akkurat, Enthusiast! Herzlichen Glückwunsch erstmal!

wonderful

Beautiful Scriabin

really good playing of bach!

Congrats on getting into a conservatory!

you play well congrads!

Love the first poem, my favorite. Horowitz’s interpretation is lovely

The wonderful care you took in the 4th movement could have been applied to the Scriabin and the Bartok. The Beethovenian way of how you treat the melody can be applied to all the other pieces. The Prokofiev was very well done. Excellent!

I like your Scriabin a lot

Your Scriabin is superb. SO many pianists make him sound aimless, and also as if they play him to show off their technical prowess. (Spare me! LOL) This was MUSIC. 😊

for me j remember Chopin op35-2 first mvt , Czerny Toccata op92 , Debussy Terrasse des Audiences , Bach Prelude- Fugue , Chopin Cto N-1 first mvt ( exam Conservatory 1960 )

Really like the 4th movement from the 1st sonata. It’s less “polished” than a recording from the likes of Brendel but that also gives it some special visceral energy.

You always slam down on the down beat! Consider the whole phrase!

Nice voicing at 01:45 Was this Scriabin composition the inspiration for ur deux Poemes? Theyre legit hype, signature Scriabin texture in the second one lol

nice! i wonder if there's an age limit on trying to get in and studying in conservatory 😅

Pretty great! The Bach prelude was a little harsh in the beginning, though. Was your phone on the piano when recording?

Your beethoven is great! the first poeme is played with so much thoroughness, i wish i could play like you!

where did you apply and where'd you end up choosing to go?

The Scriabin piece was the type in my ABRSM exams that I would ignore lol. It would be the C option lol The Beethoven pieces ❤

It’s beautiful!! I wonder though did you mean to take the 4th movement of the Beethoven so fast? I’m a violinist and I try to imagine myself playing the top lines but is v difficult with the tempi you took. (You can ignore this if you want) in the first movement I feel like you can make some of the notes sing more too in the melody’s because some of the notes feels uneven and cut off. This is just from my point as violinist u can ignore lol. 2nd and 3rd movements I loved the tempi

Ich mache zwar erst das Abi, trotzdem interessant zu sehen wie dein Programm aussah. Gibt es Konservatorien überhaupt noch? Heisst das nicht Musikhochschule heutzutage? Wenn ich dann dran bin mit der Aufnahme Prüfung, was denkst du von einer Ligeti Etüde? (Wahrscheinlich Fanfares oder Cordes à vide) Oder was für eine Sonate würdest du empfehlen?

Great program- especially loved the Beethoven. Do u mind if i ask where u got accepted?

Not easy playing in a piano of suboptimal condition or recording an entire session, great job! Hope you don’t mind if I shared some thoughts on what I’m hearing. I didn’t get a chance to listen through every piece. Overall you have some good ideas of what you’re trying to do and good tones. I would think about the competitiveness of some of the choices however, the Bach and Beethoven you picked are all more on the ‘elementary’ levels so you will be judged harsher on perfection so keep that in mind. For the fugue I would refrain from rubato expressions (the prelude is okay to use some rubato) but having rubato or anything that disrupts the pulse of the music can also disrupt the presentation of the subjects when they come in. Structure is extremely important here. Overall there’s a feeling the left hand can be more subdued throughout all the pieces at moments. The 1st Scriabin can sound a bit dry at times, this isn’t purely pedaling, could try to finger pedal more and legato involves transferring of weight between fingers rather than pure finger work.

Which conservatoire are you going to? My audition programme was Mendelssohn - Rondo Capriccioso, Bach - Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue and Beethoven - Waldstein (1st movement) and I got into where I applied as well. Fantastic playing!

opinions on jazz and other world music????

how old are you? and is it possible to share the name of the conservatory just to get a relative view of the level required for this type of institution?

Which conservatory? Hoow long was the audition? Did they let you finish any of the pieces? I know you prepare 5 pieces and they don't let you finish any of them. Auditions can be 15 to 50 minutes. Mine was 20 minutes long, them comes meeting the faculty and making conversation. The are just taking the measur of you. You might have a theory test. It's nerve wreaking amd even thou they say they will let you know, by the time you leave, you already know if you've been accepted or not. It's a completely different world. Very demanding and strict.

I am giving a like for Good Success, as you are correct, your phone, and probably the piano did not make justice to your quality as a musician and an interpret.. Cheers!

Bach prelude was very muffled in the beginning.

Great playing, but as I've played and listened to the first and fourth mvts too many times, the fourth seems a little too fast and the texture the left hand is making is a little as if it's little triplet groups like in the first mvt. Idk about this edition, but I've always thought that they need to be more legato, like much more stable runs. The middle section is also really well played but might be a little too rushed. I'd say in general that there are 2 characters having a debate, and the first character immediately gets furious, then the second tries to calm him down and it goes on. Basically what I'm getting at is to voice the "characters" in a little more different tempo (slight changes bc otherwise it'll mess everything up) and a generally much more contrasting voicing. Btw sorry for the yap session

even skriabin sounds badly when an E is out of tune😂

I’m confused, you’re playing at the level expected at the end of an undergrad music degree. This is your application?

Ist es schwer in Komposition reinzukommen? Und kann man das auch alleine studieren? Oder ist das berufstechnisch unlogisch? Lg

How is it possible to enter a conservatory with only audio recordings?! Everywhere I have seen, the strict requirements are videos for self-explanatory reasons. Congrats on getting in!

I think you're playing Prestissimo a bit too fast. Might be because of garbage quality of training room pianos but the entry themes with Fm are very blurred. At times I'm confused whether it's just out of tune or you're playing wrong notes. I guess there was a memory slip at 29:35, right? Interesting choice for conservatory repertoire though.

To which conservatories did you apply (if we can know)?

The Scriabin ‘colour’ and expression is very well played. Your sense of tempo is probably a bit too ‘wishy-washy’ in general. Also there are many times where the left hand ‘anticipates’ the right hand. The technique (asynchrony!?) is quite common in romantic music but it’s too overused here. Also in the rubato around 2:48 you got a bit faster randomly. Surely the tenuto’s and the rubato mean to slow down to build to the top A#. Nevertheless it was extremely expressive but should be just a bit more reliable in terms of tempo/togetherness. Good luck

🎉 congrats man. Do you plan on becoming a concert pianist?

Did you get accepted? :)

Schnabel like staccatos. Too rush but in the slow passages beautiful sounds.

is your teacher russian?

Poèmes, not poémes.

You have a legitimate heart aspect of Scriabin. Lucky you. But your style in louder passages can be a bit tyrannical. Scriabin is commanding not tyrannical. In general you sound tyrannical. Do you actually like the piano? The emotional onset is interesting. I wish we could talk more about the psychology of your playing

Or maybe it is that you take tyranny too far at times? Composers, artists, have the right to express the range of emotion and expression of the human condition. But a dominating frequency of tyranny within one's musical expression seems counterproductive. The point is that I don't feel the underlying mental state that expresses itself in your playing will give you the most amount of return. Because others hear this on a subconscious level

Sorry but your Bach is completely wrong. The composer wrote Presto and you kept the initial tempo. It's obvious you can't play faster on the presto passage, so you should play slower on the first section.

very well executed. Excpept, i cannot understand why you have chosen Scriabine 2 poems.... not easy to impress the auditors.

What is your opinion on whatismusic123
