Wow. What a legend you are 8)

I was not expecting a great performance of a piece modern piece like this, but you performed it fantasticly. I did especially love you great sense of rythm and fury(extremely important in a piece like this).

My only problem, was that I think you played the modéré section a bit to slow - but it is obvious that you did it becasue you wantet to and not because you couldn't play it faster, and I respect you decision.

After the glissandos, there is a vif section, and this was played EXACTLY the way I think it should be played.

You should be proud of yourself!

Do you play the 4th etude to?
