    I tried playing this song and thought “ew, it’s a horrible song.” Then came to see what it should sound like and was like 😯

    Elena, I agree with you. This is the most challenging piece compared with the first eight songs in book 2. The tempo of this piece is dynamically changing. At the beginning of this song, the tempo is quite slow. Then, there is a speed up in tempo after the first few bars. Congratulations to you! You played very well. Xiao

    I find this song to be very challenging to learn, much harder than the songs before these. your videos help me a lot :)

    Very nice, I think the first part should be adagio though, so a lot slower than the second part. My teacher also said that that's the thing about this piece. The first and the second part differ completely from each other is terms of dynamics and feeling.

    • @Evaa1990
      @Evaa1990 8 років тому

      Oh and you say it's hard to keep a steady tempo, but don't worry about that. My teacher also said that you can play loosely with this piece and play the notes how you want to play them, like they don't all have to be exactly the same value.

    • @EniaPiano

      +Eva Maas I think you're right. As the first part (adagio) is written in eighth notes and the second one (allegro) in quarter notes, I probably thought I was playing slow enough.
      In fact, now I think I played the whole piece too fast.
      Thank you for your comment and suggestion. ;)

    • @Evaa1990

      You're welcome, I understand that, I always played everything too fast in the beginning. My teacher told me it's better to feel a bit slow than too fast, because then it feels hurried. I think you played the second part at a perfect pace though! :)

    Fun fact: 50 Cent sampled the intro of this song into his "when it rains it pours". I was happily surprised to find this out.

    This might be the hardest song so far. Might not make it in 2 hours this time, haha.

      Playing it blandly is good for those just wanting a standard rendition of the song as a foundation.
