It was recorded in the same concert I played Ondine and Scarbo. I'll be glad to get comments.

The only other recording of the etudes that I have is Sgouros and yours is definitely comparable - keep posting!

Me at the end of the Finale-


"HEEEELLLLL YEEEEEEEEAAAAH!!!"





Phenomenal performance, keep it up. Maybe the Brahms Paganini Variations next? ;D



EDIT: Just listened to it for a second time  ;). The very end of the Finale is a bit weak. It really doesn't live up to to the character of the movement. Other than that, phenomenal!

1. Paganini Variations? NO :)
2. About the Finale, you are right. I didn't really master the Finale before the concert and I think it wasn't good or powerful enough generally.
