It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages.

Well done. I'm surprised nobody else has posted any comments yet. In general I thought that all your rolled chords were a bit quick and had harsh tone. I would like to hear more direction in the melodic lines. A lot of them seem rather static in dynamic to me- it could just be the recording I dunno. Tempo was pretty good, though I felt in the beginning of the piece I wasn't quite sure where the beats were. Part of this is caused by all the fermatas Liszt added in this section of the piece, but I still think the rhythms could be a bit more clear here. It was a pretty solid performance overall, well done!
