Part 1. Bravo!!! Too bad the acoustics are really really dead. Talk about hearing a pin drop. But you certainly came through with that brilliant finger work. Little suggestion : at the first appearance of the dance, play it really "rustico" with crude accents and a little under speed.

Very beautifully done...Love your "jeu perlé"! Sing more more with that Margherita's theme. And when it comes in the left hand with the broken octaves in the right, follow with pedal, because sometimes you lose the legato.

Again, very well performed. The first octave dance I would use less pedal to make it more rythmic. You're very sparse in your use of pedal, though - which is always better than overpedaling. But remember that Liszt said the pedal is the "soul" of the piano. It opens up the vast scale of harmonics which is beautiful in those singing parts.
Bravo, indeed!

Thx for listening, again
Ah, great idea, it's quite cool with the accents, accually.
I don't really get his pedals though.. I really can't take all of his markings seriously, but I'll do that in the slow part.
