Recording Your Practice and a bit of Medtner 1

Do you record your piano practice?

This is one of the most helpful ways of getting “outside of yourself” when practicing, testing out a piece, and listening objectively. It’s also just great practice for performance, and I encourage my piano students to do is as well as use it as a technique for myself.

Now that we all have smart phones, recording yourself is easier than ever. For your pleasure, I hope, here is a run-through of a Medtner piece I recorded recently  during a practice session – the gorgeous Fairy Tale in A Major, Op. 51, No. 2.
