“The Sound Always Comes First” — Andrea Bonatta on Teaching Liszt

Why tone matters more than speed, why reading Goethe matters as much as practising octaves, and how a single insight can transform a performance. Italian pianist and scholar Andrea Bonatta has spent decades exploring the contradictions of Franz Liszt, from performer to man of faith, virtuoso to poet.

I like that you play with a lot of feeling and sensitivity. Indeed I would like to hear some parts in a faster tempo, e.g. the second theme. The first long run has too many disturbing accents. Be sure to play it as a great line. You do a very good job with the virtuoso sections in the last part! In general your dynamic range might be enlarged. Keep up the good work. Btw it's nothing wrong with your face :) Would be interesting to see your hands too.

best wishes
