Bad video quality+sound quality. Concert was some months ago in a little church.

Enjoy.

the icky reverberation in that church is annoying, especially when playing baroque music, but that's not your fault.

really well played!  you made that piece look so much easier and user friendly than it really is.  I wish I could play like that..

Bravo.

Beautiful!!!

You have a wonderful feel for Bach and a great clarity (even through the somewhat murky audio of the recording).  Your expression in the slow movement was lovely.  LOVED it!

Thanks all!

i was wondering why on earth you would be playing on your own in a half-lit place, then when applause was heard when you finished playing, i realized why. heheh...

very nice.  it makes me want to learn the 2nd movement now so that i might have all movements to perform. you have nice expression for all movements. nice interpretation. you should post more of your playing.

wao very good how many years you been playing and how many hours do you practice?

I have been playing since my 6th, I am now 14. I only started seriously when I was 10 though, I now practice around 2.5 hours average monday-friday, saturday I am at the conservatory for theory and other things and sunday I play around 3.5-4.5 hours.

Thanks for all your nice comments!

u have amazing control and also very clean ornamentation.  the piece has a thrill to it - but maybe it'll be toned down just a bit over the years.  u'll see that as u get along - u can refine the dynamics down one or two notches (all of them).  and, u can play even closer to the keys.  sometimes the recording is to blame for the loudness (but there is a peak to sound that u can't go beyond - or u'll be fighting all kinds of waves - for lack of better word).  how the fingers strike the keys is important.  many people allow a bit of space between the finger and key - but it gives an extra sound in recordings (slack,whack) whereas if u are pretty much on the keys, there's even more natural weight in the hands, and ALL the energy goes into the piano. 

if i understand my teacher correctly, the places where u have staccato would be a pushing away fromt he key instead of up/down/up.  more like a trampoline, but starting on the note and it bounces u away.  it takes some practice.  not sure how my teacher would say it - but he likes to eliminate any sort of extraneous sound from recordings.

ps in second listening of this - i think u are already doing much of this.  the sound is good.  maybe a touch of pedal here and there that u might not need as much.  but, u surely have a good sound.  and, nice voicing.  maybe too much emphasis in one spot on the trills over the lh - but other than that i like the basic sound.  u play really evenly.

You're 14? That's not fair! I'm 13 and couldn't play like that if someone paid me... well, I suppose it would depend on how much

Bump!
