I'm not a musician nor do I understand much about music but that sounded a bit too chaotic. Like murky waters, you know? Maybe because I prefer slower interpretations of this piece.
Hope I wasn't too rude.

@0arche thanks for the feedback, it's not rude at all btw. The tempo of this piece is supposed to be played fast, but maybe I still need more practice to make it sound cleaner. But I also understand for some people to like this piece to be played slower

Out of curiosity: why do you feel the need to post your piano practice on anime waifuism forums?

@Kamikaze_404 MAL is the only online forum I ever used in my life, and probably in the future. Its the only place I interact online with random people and ask their opinion. Its like an online home to me, the only place where I hang out online. Hope that answers your question

Woah totally did not expect a Chopin post in myanimelist of all places. My honest feedback though is that the way you play seems a bit rushed, not much emotion, a bit off rhythm at times and just playing the correct notes. Try to slow down at parts when climbing up or down octaves, it leaves more impact and emotion. But overall anyone who plays this piece without much error is worthy of praise, big respect to you and your music taste.

Woah! that was really good. Much better than I could play it. I'm sure my piano teacher or someone more qualified could give better advice, But possibly your dynamics, it does sound quite heavy to me, could be the audio from the video tho.

@Aria_no_Kino thank you, I'm glad you like it

@Nya_chan5623 thank you for your feedback. Yes, perhaps I should put some rubato in some parts of the arpeggios especially during the release moments where the chords change to major near the ending to create some dramatic effects.

@SynthwaveCrusade thank you for your feedback. Yes, I should practice more about the dynamic. I agree

Just wanted to post that although my knowledge of musical is extremely limited, I think you're a very talented musician and I hope you continue in your endeavors. Your piano playing seems very impressive to me, and I have only positive words to share with you. Keep it up!

@philtecturophy

Do you have a video playing Nocturne in E Flat Major???

Is it just me or is that supposed to represent waves???

@Kvistis thank you. I play classical piano for hobby only. I hope I can recover from my chronic pain so that I can keep playing piano

@Hitagi__Furude yes, someone named the etude Ocean Etude because of the movement pattern of the whole piece represent that of waves. Also I don't have my video playing that nocturne yet
