Fauré's Nocturne Op. 36 No. 4


Title:
Fauré's Nocturne Op. 36 No. 4

Description:
I have never played any work by Fauré before, and I began to learn this piece two months ago (had one lesson with my teacher on it), only because it's a required piece for the Oberlin competition: http://www.oberlin.edu/con/summer/piano/default.html Just so you know, my initial pushing the small rug away was because it was 90+ºF outside and the tile felt cooler. Haha. If I were my own competition: ~0:30s - Decent opening, but l.h. maybe a bit more harmonious—not so pronounced, esp. lowest note. Shape melody more 1:00 - too climactic L.H. 1:12 - too much! 1:23 - good l.h. run ~1:30s - Again, shape melody more—don't be so "notey" 1:53 - don't lean towards central chord in L.H.; go to end 2:11 - maybe a bit less pronounced at first? 2:26 - don't stop emphasizing long melody (but maybe that's because of the slip-up) ~2:46 - don't let harmony overpower long melody (at least at first, until more dev'd) 3:05 - l.h. don't accent so much - melody always emerging clearly above harmony! 3:20 - EXCELLENT run & transition (maybe rit. even a bit more for more impact) ~3:35s - Wonderfully executed slight acceleration & rubato 3:58 - too strong ending for l.h. 4:04 - always proceed to top 4:05-6 - brilliant transition! 4:25 - don't rit. so much 4:38 - careful; keep middle melody pronounced 4:46 - rit. even a little more in L.H. 5:39 - excellent rit.! 5:50 - don't rush l.h. or emphasize bottom so much 6:09 - connect melody better (softer second note) 6:20 - not so abrupt ~6:25 - steadier run 6:42 - good transition 6:51 - maybe l.h. a bit, but don't enhance r.h. harmony alongside melody 7:19 - quieter (but still maintain 'surprise' effect) Good ending.
