There's nothing wrong with my concentration.

Well then? :shock:

Hi Chris,
I didn´t follow with score and I could enjoy your performance very much. I think, you bring out quite clearly all these chromatic lines and arpeggios, which like a typic romantic arabesque to me. Nice camera angles in your video, btw! Plus a good picture quality.

Hi Chris,

I had a listen to your recording, I liked your phrasing of the melodic line, and the range in dynamics applied. This piece does not sound familiar, but it sounds nice. Since I don't know the piece I of course don't have the score on hand, but I will say, at 2:14 the sudden forte caught me off guard, there seemed to be little forewarning :lol:

For criticism I would have liked to hear more energy in the some of the repeats, besides that it was not painful to listen to, I enjoyed it.

Thanks Andreas. While I was happy with while playing and processing, I now feel it's not good enough though.

Thanks. I have not got much choice in the camera angles.

Thanks Riley. There is a short crescendo molto leading up to that, so I don't think it should come as a complete surprise. I resisted the temptation to start working up to that point much earlier, as Godowsky specifies not to.

Not painful, hehe, that is good

I'm all for energetic playing but this is a very relaxed and soothing piece and I like it to sound rather dreamy.
