I gave up on this movement myself, i simply don't have the technique to make it justice.  :)

I would love to hear a better (as in less compressed soundfile) recording of this, the MP3 falls a bit short and it's more apparent in this movement than the others, unfortunately.

I do feel a bit of the same as in the second movement, some phrases blend together where i would expect a short "breather". Although part of it might be that the MP3 can't really cope.

You have technique enough to make it sound fun and lively, and not forced (which you all to often hear).

I hope you don't take any of this as criticism, i think you play the whole sonata lovely. Better than some proffesional recordings i've heard. The first movement was brilliant in my view. The 2nd and 3rd might just be rubbing a bit against the way i'm used to hear it.

Please, send in more!

Hi Crazy,

I listened to all 3 movements--You play beautifully!  I am a huge Mozart fan, and IMO, you have a lovely touch for his music. 

Not much critique--I think you might play the 3rd movement a hair (only a hair) slower, but it' really fine as it is.  In the 2nd mvt, the passages with the single RH melody above the Alberti bass--You do more of those slight delays of the RH melody notes than I might, but it's a bit of romanticizing that's Ok, if it feels right to you.

This music is very, very difficult to capture, and you have it.

Wonderful! 
Teresa

thank you so much, Teresa! i think i should try a little harder to stop romanticizing the 2nd movement. everyone else in my school said that too.:)

someone also said that my 3rd movement might have sounded a little like Haydn, so yes, i should slow down a bit.
thanks again!

Hi there,

It's a good recording, but many places are messy. Maybe you feel that you're in a hurry because what you play is very difficult and fast? It is, but you mustn't be in a hurry. You will notice you have all the time in the world, if you practise a little with a metronome.
