Cool.  I stopped it twenty seconds into it you're doing swell but what I really wanted to say was I share the same tonnage around the midsection w you! High five **

Nicely done. Your interpretation is in some ways similar and in some ways different then mine. I would suggest that you remember that this is a prelude and not an etude ;)

Oh, I don't like to share mine all that much. I recorded it and then got a whole lot better at then dropped it before recording it again. So it's rather dissatisfying to hear that one. Nevertheless it is on my yt channel so you can hear if you want :)

Oh, I don't know. Like no.3, and perhaps no.24, I'd suggest it is both, just its name happens to be Prelude.

Regarding the performance, there's a loss of fluency in the middle but other than that it is fine. I'd maybe like more of a propulsive aspect to the left hand, but that's probably a matter of personal taste.

Thanks Hakki :) And Ronde perhaps it is a bit of an etude but I firmly believe it is a prelude and must be played as one.
