Chopin - Nocturne Op. 48 #1 C minor
Played by Ashkenazy
I would link a youtube video rather than upload a file but most of those performances were like regular dainty nocturne while this one just reeks of DESPAIRRRRR and pull me down to the abyss
idk this is my favourite aspect of chopin’s music and he pulls it off better than anyone else, I love that the music sounds exactly like the delicate sickly man that he was
a simple tune I dreamed of last night and wanted to write down
I plagiarize myself in writing music yay!!!
Anonymous asked you: Hey, Shilin! Would ever record yourself playing a piece on the piano for us to hear? I’d love to listen to you play one day.
I most likely won’t record any new ones because I’ve been spoiled with steinways in university and my yamaha sounds horrible to me, and I haven’t played for 2 years and probably won’t have the time to practice and get back to the level I once was. But here are some old recordings from the compulsory recitals I gave in university. they are REALLY REALLY SOFT……..
- 2009: ondine - from Gaspards de la Nuit by Ravel (please read this poem)
- 2007: Pagodes - from Estampes by Debussy
- 2007: Soiree dans Grenades - from Estampes by Debussy
- 2007: Jardin dans la pluie - from Estampes by Debussy
I have other recordings but since these were all performances, I couldn’t just record over and over until I get a satisfactory recording so I hate most of them LOL… these are the only acceptable ones I have. I guess I play french impressionistic music the best haha. I have this horrible habit of correcting my mistakes and it’s apparently really unsettling to my mom, so I hope you can stand it LOL
I was drawing but it wasn’t working so I wrote this instead
It’s missing an intro and ending as usual lol… for those of you unfamiliar with the sound of a piano and may be wondering, no I didn’t play it, the mp3 was created with the Reason soundbank using the piano score I wrote. It sounds really nonchalant because it’s generated even though I meant for it to be more of a keyboard smash song, I was gonna learn it and record it instead but then I realized I’ll probably never get to it :’D
