To start off my blog I thought it would be helpful for my students to see and hear me play the piano, since I am the one usually listening to them. I am going to post four clips of me playing in my college recital. I was required to play a piece from each musical period. It is a little embarrassing showing these videos that are now 13 years old, but nonetheless I will suffer a little humiliation for my students. :)
Hope you enjoy!
This first song I played is from the Baroque period: Chromatic Fantasie in d minor, by J. S. Bach.
The second song is from the Classical period: Appassionata Sonata (Op. 57 Mvmt. 1), by Ludwig van Beethoven.
The third song was from the Romantic period: Un Sospiro, (Etude in D-flat Major), by Franz Liszt.
The fourth and final song I played was from the New Age or 20th Century period: All of Me, by Jon Schmidt.
By this point I think my hands and nerves were done, and I kind of butchered the song and didn't play it to my best ability, so excuse the fumbling. I recorded all of these songs of me playing for keep sake, at a practice run before the recital, which I give out to family and friends instead of the recording from this recital because I was pretty nervous.
