That's a beautiful piece and you play it quite well I must say!  I am currently working on Chopin's Op. 10 No. 12 ( Revolutionary Etude).  It is really hard for me to play because of it's speed. Smiley

Hi aragonaise,

I think there is much to commend your playing.  Nice job!  You played with much accuracy and expressiveness.

If I were to make one suggestion, it would be pedaling.  There are places where you needed half pedal releases or full pedal changes to clear the sonorities of neighboring tones in passagework.  Instead you have some blurry smudges there.  If you listen to yourself carefully in the recording, you'll find those places easily and can mark new pedal indications into the score for yourself.  Sometimes we can't rely on Chopin's indications because pianos have changed so much over the past 150 years or so.  Thus, the musician's ear must still govern the pedal in the moment of playing.

thanks for the time and the kind comments.
Will take note of the pedalling.

What piano are you playing? It's beautifully in tune.

Very nicely played, my only criticism would be that I think you're cutting the bottom notes (G?) a bit too short. Left hand should be a bit more legato for my taste.
