Chopin - Ballade f minor op. 52 (5th recording)

This wasn't so bad.

Overall it started to have some sense for me. There is sometimes a moment, when everything just "clicks" in a brain about certain piece. Of course there is a lot of work before me, practicing piece like this is like never ending story...

Overall I should avoid sameness, and fix the coda. And fixing a coda is probably a mental thing...
I should work more on the first theme motive - to avoid repeating it in the same way. And also those repeated notes - I've some ideas about them, but still I'm not sure.

Issues:
  • don't rush in first small culmination, keep tension in bars 51-53
  • fix the passage which goes upper in bar 74
  • what happen with synchronization in bar 78
  • why I can just play right notes in the second theme, especially in bars 88-90 and 96-100
  • start the descending passage in right way in bar 101
  • listen to left hand in bars 108-110
  • don't ruch descending passage - even slow down a bit in bar119
  • listen more to left hand in bars 125-128 - this "trill" comes from the main theme.
  •  more smorzando in bars 133-134 - feel it
  • listen more to "A" in bar 134 - start the b flat softer
  • be sure of notes in the whole "fughato" section in bars 135-144
  • don't be too indifferent in bars 145-151
  • more melodically sixteens (in middle of passages especially) in whole section in bars 152-168
  • listen to sounding of chords in bars 173-174
  • have more time to finish that phrase in bar 176
  • remove manierism - some show differences in bars 177-184
  • focus on clean passage in bars 195 and 197 - it's mental thing... Just have mental strength to do it.
  • feel the keys in thirds in jumps especially in bars 195-196
  • practice starting from bar 217
  • play bars 227-231 like waves
