Isaac Albeniz:
Mallorca (barcarola - op. 202)
Another barcarola :-| go figure ... but probably the sexiest piece ever written - and I know - just another reason I have no business playing it :-)
Well - my LH is still fighting the numbness and there are still a couple of bad funbles in this pass but I said I'd make a better recording this past weekend - which I didn't - so here's a little better pass than the last one. Ya know - I just can't MAKE myself play this faster ... yeah yeah ... I know - I know - ya mean "... can't really play it at all.." ... didn't think I heard that, did ya :-))) Anyway, maybe it's the simpler transription that makes me want to play it slower or something.
I'll add the other formats when I have a few minutes to make them.
No1_Albeniz_Mallorca_op-202.wmv: Ok - Ok - I admit it! I made 5 takes this evening - no. 2 was a false start - Kick-kick decided no. 3 wasn't a good one about half way through - no. 4 is the one I used - and no. 5 just wasn't as good as no. 4 (I guess I was getting tired or something). ANyway - no. 1 mostly suffered from camera placement but I pushed the tempo a bit more than I usually do - and there were, of course, a few bad notes (but none of those damn rhythm-breaking fumbles) - also some breath noise and very strange facial tension -"monkey faces" - here and there :-))) but it was generally ok ... that is, until the very very VERY end when I fudged a note which led to another and basically BLEW the entire pass - ALMOST 8 FRIGGIN' MINUTES OF PLAYING RIGHT DOWN THE OL' SHOOT!!! I think I'll start a BLOOPERS dir - but I guess musical bloopers aren't really all THAT funny ... unless, maybe, your initials are V.B. :-) Anyway, if you have the time, you can watch the No1 pass - at least the very end - for the bloop!!
