Hey,
this is my very first recorded taqsim. The quality is very poor and I apologize for that but hopefully you will be able to comment.
P.S. Yeah, I notice some of those mistakes.
upd: it seems that the file's too big hence rapidshare saves the day:

I am looking forward to reading your comments. I play oud for a bit more than one year now and I never had a teacher. I'm fully self-teaching myself
so it's really really really (really) important for me to know your constructive critique.

Hello Frau
The bottom line is you are playing some really nice passages and developing sweet ornamentation for just over one year of playing and you should be
pleased with that.
One bit of useful advice that sounds immediately obvious would be to try to relax a little more in the faster runs and ornamentations, slow them down
, concentrate on tone and relaxing the wrist then build up a smoother speed - some parts sound rather 'snatched' at. Don't worry about mistakes - we
all make them ... relax mke your mistakes and go for tone.
You have a good sound and a good heart for playing judging by this clip ... well done and keep ouding.

Thank you so much. It's really important for me to hear your critique since I haven't moved to The Land of Ouds yet.
