Chrono plays piano

[Froge]

ITT: Criticize and judge me. Especially Bridge.

So I recorded myself playing some of my favourite pieces by Chopin on the piano and uploaded them onto youtube. I'm no studio recorder so the audio quality isn't best. But anyone who has experience with piano music is welcome to critique my playing.

Etude Op. 10 no 3 in E Major

Probably my favourite piece to play. The dominant emotion is nostalgic melancholy, which I find very touching. There is a climax of unbridled rage at 3:00 - 3:28 (preceded, from 2:33, by an ingenious series of dissonant diminished fifths), but I enjoy most dearly playing the wistful section from 4:40 - end.





Nocturne Op. 27 no 2 in D Flat Major

This is a very sweet piece with a dreamy melody. Highlights include the massive technical challenge from 4:14 - 4:22 as well as the arpeggio at 5:01 leading up to the heartwarming cadence at 5:14. I consider this kind of music to be "fluffy".





Nocturne Op. 15 no 2 in F Sharp Major

Much easier nocturne. I don't like it as much as the previous one, but it is still quite fun to play. There are some obvious technical challenges, most notably that an entire section of the piece (starting from 1:29) is devoted to 5-against-2 (right hand five, left two) rhythm.
