See a link to the Kreutzer below.

I am the pianist and my friend, John is the violinist.
Would love some feed back on anything about the performance.

Thanks,
Aaron

Very well done!  This is not easy.  The quality of the sound recording was also good.  Piano nicely in tune.  Very enjoyable.  I gave it thumbs up.

If you take requests, how about any of the 3 Brahms or the Franck?

Looking at your ages and the fact that this was done live, I would say this is OUTSTANDING!  Congratulations!  I hope you didn't take offence to my requests.  I love these works and I feel that you would be able to play these well with work.

Thanks so much. I am glad you enjoyed it.

We both have very busy concert schedules so we don't take requests per se. Be we do plan on playing the Frank in the next couple years anyway. I live in Miami and he lives in Oregon so we only meet up once a year at best. Thanks again for the comment!

Fabulous performance, you are both obviously very talented!

Just wondering why John is standing where he is... I think it makes communication easier if a violinist stands more next to me than in front of me, if you know what I mean.

I think it would be better for you as an ensemble you to have more continuous contact. Where he stands, it seems like for the most part, John turns his back to you. When he doesn't, because he wants to show you his intentions, he turns his back to the audience.

Thanks for the comment. I am glad you enjoyed it. It was a very crowded stage and we couldn't put him in the usual place The mic placement was hard because it was a life show and we had to suspend recording from the ceiling so that made him have to be farther away from it. It was less than ideal, but it worked. thanks for the feed back :)
