Recording of Claude Debussy's "Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum" from Children's Corner (take ONE)

I've played this piece for quite awhile, and every time I play it it is so much fun and I hear and learn different things each time. My fingers are still very "muddy"; so something I'm working on, with every piece I'm learning now, is clarity. I'm also working on dynamics; I'd like more contrast in this piece. Here's my recording from today - on the Yamaha. My performance is better midway through the end. I'm going to record this again on the Boston (which I love playing, perhaps my favorite upright at the library) and after I improve a ton...

So here's my very, very poor performance -

I hope you have a good night.

Frederic Chopin's Nocturne Opus 9 No. 1

I finally have been able to record Chopin's Nocturne Opus 9 No. 1 in full, without too many mistakes. The music, when I began to play this piece again, was super abstract at first, and as I practiced more and more, the piece began to remind me of a bird, a soaring bird, and I think that image helped me improve my interpretation of it.

I'll keep improving on this piece, always. Here it is for now:
