Timmy's fur Elise by: Ido from www.piano-play-it.com
Hi Timmy,
Wow! I am speechless!
I remember the first time you sent us a recording of yourself playing the Fur Elise. I believe it was just the first part. Usually, I teach my students just the first part of Fur Elise during their first year of studies, and after a couple of years I teach them the rest of the piece because it is much more complicated. I see that you can play the whole composition and that's wonderful. Your passion for music has led you to a tremendous progress playing the piano. From time to time I let my students watch your videos because you are an example of someone who practices and takes studying piano playing seriously.
There is one point I would like you to pay attention to - the Legato. You can click here to read about the Legato. Legato is a way of approach. The notes should be connected to each other even if you don't see any sign that indicates the Legato. Try to play Legato as much as you can because it gives the music a fluent and warm sound.
Thanks Timmy, and keep up the excellent work, Ido from www.piano-play-it.com
