Remembrance [Trinity Grade 4] by Maria Mifsud - Day 1085 Progress

1 year ago

I am now at four digits of piano days! Here is my attempt at Maria Mifsud's Remembrance. This piece is very difficult compared to the rest of the Grade 4 syllabus and I honestly don't think it belongs in Grade 4. This is close to good to go for the exam however I do need to work more on emphasising the dynamics of the sections (which are largely arbitrary).

The biggest challenge in learning this piece was the alternating thirds and fourths. This was VERY difficult for me but like anything with piano, once you learn that particular pattern / skill then you have banked that for the next time you run into it.

This is the first analogue recording I have made on the GX-2. It was recorded using a matched pair of Rode NT55 mics with cardioid capsules. These were being driven by a Zoom F6. No post production or effects were applied so this is very much just how the piano sounds. I spent hours today fiddle farting around with the setup and I really need to spend some time working out the workflow from this. I don't think the effort is worth it versus the simplicity and flexibility of bouncing out MIDI and doing the audio in post production.
