I will be playing this in Las Vegas for state solo and ensemble and I would like to hear some of your opinions on what I could do to improve it. Any feedback would be great!

carazymcmahon:
I viewed your video, and I have nothing to critique on it;  I am not familiar with this Etude.  Your arpeggios are clearly executed and well done.

Best wishes  on your state solo and ensemble,

Hi carazy,

You play this etude very well.  It has a nice flow to it.  The one suggestion I would make would be to ensure that the melodic line always soars above all of the arpeggiation.  Right now there are some moments when it gets submerged in the ocean waves and can barely be heard if at all.  Overall, good job!
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.
