This and some Vine have been my summer project. I recorded it using my MP3  player so be prepared for some freaky harddrive noises.

It needs to be refined and mysterious, like a will-o'-the wisp.  Try listening to Kissin's, Duchable's, or Berezovsky's recordings to get an idea of its character.  That's what's most important.  Good job on hitting the notes.

Hi rabbidrabbit,

Congrats!  Nice work on this piece.  I listened to it several times and really enjoyed it.  You handle the double notes with the required delicate touch.  Your dexterity is marvelous too.  I also like your handling of those LH melodies.  Probably you need to achieve a bit more evenness in some places and to bring out the melodic elements a little more in others over the filligree.  But you're definitely going in the right direction.  This is a most difficult piece to play.  You deserve a lot of credit!  One of the recordings I particularly like is Jorge Bolet's.  While he took risks in recital, he was more cautious making recordings, so he was never quite as exciting in his recordings.  Nonetheless, his Feux Follets is impecable.  Keep up the good work!

very impressive

you might like to try the way berezovsky does it too, with accelerado just before the really heavy bit

the hard disk sounds rock
