...Chopin op. 10 no. 12.

(Ye olde tuning problem, too, and my apoligies for that... Why are all the good tuners so busy at this time of the year?)

I'm almost satisfied with this rendition, only two slightly smudged spots and two slight rhythmic deviations are bothering me there, but I'm pretty sure it would pass the conservatory auditions. But, I may have missed stuff, as I'm rather used to this jewel... (Learned it what, two years ago? Never forgotten since then, although there was some polishing to do.) So, any constructive criticism is, as always, very welcome.

As an exercise (Etude) you breeze through this with ease and certainly show that you have mastered the LH technique necessary. As a performance piece, I would want to hear a little more passion and shaping, maybe just a few rubatos, just for audience appeal. All of C's Etudes, I believe, can be treated this way, sort of two different animals. Just a thought. Perhaps you had more of this than I heard, I was listening on my laptop and could barely hear it--if so, I apologize for my critique.
Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den, der heimlich lauschet.
