Hi C B

I must admit that I'm unfamiliar with this composer, but his compositions have a lot of charm as heard in your performances here. I believe that these romances give the impression that they are more nostalgia than passion. But your playing brings out the best in all three numbers in my opinion. You exhibit a fine technique in meeting the demands, and your interpretations are very convincing. Marvelous playing!

Hi Chris,

Three elegant and well-played miniatures! I especially liked the last piece, performed with perfect articulation, sense of rhythm, and nuance. Nicely done!

I was sorry when you were Finnish.
