i completed rach 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.........part one!!
i had resolved not to blog for a long time so that people would watch lubiantsev's video below. (the more i research on russian pronunciation, the more i don't know how to pronounce his name. but that's another thing.)
but this is a hugely important thing. for me, it is a milestone. it is a tremendous achievement that, 2 months ago, i never thought would be possible.
after 46 days, i finally played rach 3 from start to finish, and made only a few mistakes! of course, the quality just isn't there but i'm continuing to work on it. my stupid left hand still gets stuck at some bars of the cadenza but it is improving. i still hit wrong notes when i play that cascading alternate hand part which comes just before the chordal part (i don't know what you call it, but i call it diabolical), but i will continue to work on it. (and my left hand continues to be jealous of my right)
okay, by now if you're wondering, what the eff is rach 3? it's the colloquial name for rachmaninoff's piano concerto no. 3. it is one of the most difficult piano concertos out there. and one of the most awesome. just ask anyone who's been to berezovsky's recent concert here (ME!!!).
for the sake of this post, and yeeching, i have uploaded the 3 parts of the concerto to imeem. this is played by the legendary vladimir ashkenazy.
innit awesome!!! i'm inspired to complete the whole thing already!!!

about me
Just a nobody who likes planes, football and classical music. A weird combination.
Has a strange liking for old/dead Russian composers and pianists, with the notable exception of A.Lubiantsev.
Supports Arsenal FC. Thinks A330s are hot.
