This is my take on one of Schuberts impromptus. Tell me if you like it or if you have suggestions :)

Although I've never heard the piece, you seem to have done a great job of it. It sounds clear, professional with good voicing (could possibly just use a little softer accompaniment - but maybe that's just the recording)...

But obviously this piece is well thought-through and beautifully played. Well done.

Never heard of this piece? Its one of Schubert's most famous pianopieces :)

About the performance, its pretty decent. Things you have to pay attention to is that you could be more expressive, and the melody can be even more clearly.

I've heard the other most popular one - I think it's in A flat minor... God knows the Opus number.

Your pianism is to be praised.  The impromptu is beautifully played; your second recording is passionate and dynamically variegated.  I think you can improve the evenness of the sextuplets.  
Very good! :)

I rerecorded it, now with better sound and video. Thanks for all the suggestions, i tried to implement them in the new version.

I hope you like it!
