I thought you played the piece very well. Very good musicianship and live to boot! Salut!

I agree with Ivan as far as the sound quality goes. It sounded too distant and there was an imbalance between the left and right channels which made it harder to listen to.


Cheers

Thanks allthumbs I think the quality of the audio is not so good because is from a live concert recorded with a camera and later my father extract the audio for a copy of the video. Thats explain the whole thing, but I beleave that the quality is good enough to listen the aproach I do for that piece. Thank you again.

Yeah I agree, the tempo is a LITTLE bit too quick for my liking - the chords could be given a little bit more wait.  I liked the flowing section (the second section that is repeated later on), it was really clear, something that my fingers can never do! Also, I think a little more variety in dynamics would help, although this may be because of the sound quality.  Overall, nonetheless, it's a very good performace, extremely musical.

Ohh thanks simon al Klm46, I think I was a little anious/nervious before playing and because of that a played that tempo, but certainly I play the piece in that way because of my temperament too, but I think the acustic of the hall is not the most adecuate one for this tempo. I used Rubinstein recording for reference and I recomend it to anybody because I love the naturality that rubinsteinn have to play and to understand the caracter of the music. Dinamics I think are because the recording but I will re-think its. The clarity of the second section is because I studied it Very slowly and whit rotation to 5th finger to separate the two designs, but I tell you its sounds more dificult that realy is. One more time thanks for the coments I hope to listen your recordings too. Best regards. Pablo
