Like it a lot. Cannot guess the piano. The sound on my computer is not that great. But it sounds sharp. Steinway B?

sounds very cool. The theme is great. The Alegro section, is very well done. Like the dark shades of the a minor section to. That´s much beter than the version I played when I studied this piece. God job!

I think the theme is too dancing in caracterisation ... it doesn't have that mellow and calm side I think is so beautiful about it. Tough I have to admit it's very good, and your sound is great!

Y'all are too kind.  Thanks.

The piano is a Yamaha C5, about 35 years old, never rebuilt.  It is my church's piano and I certainly appreciate they let me perform there.  I think it worked better here than in Moussorgsky, but for pictures the piano sound is just an invitation for fantasy anyway.

Keep the comments coming!  They are helpful in my study of the work.

Thanks.
