Liszt's concert paraphrase, from a (very) recent recital.

As ever, feedback is appreciated!

Hi sylphes,

Bravo!  I think this is a truly remarkable and convincing performance.  I believe that over the last couple of years, your playing of so many of these difficult transcriptions and paraphrases has helped you to develop your technique to increasingly higher levels.  I'm very impressed by your musicianship and artistry.

Ronde, you have a gorgeous, sparkling Bolet-like tone and agile technique.  I enjoy the enthusiasm in your performance.  Well-done!

Thank you! I think playing these pieces has helped my technique, but I suspect that a greater impact has been the advice I've received from professional teachers regarding presentation and discipline in playing.

Thank you - I'm very fond of this piece and was certainly enjoying myself performing it; I'm glad that came across in the recording.
