Yiyi, it's a joy to hear you play the Schumann Arabesque...very warmly rendered with great romantic strivings and leanings, beautiful, thoughtful phrasing and plenty of contrasts. There are moments of astonishing beauty - the last section, is oh my

...so inspired. I only wish the recording gave a fuller picture of what I know you were doing with the dynamics in these great contrasts. 'Tis always good to hear you play!

thank you for the feedback, furt. someone commented on my gracenotes being too fast, so i may do another recording of this piece.
regarding microphone, do you have a suggestion as to what I should get? I have a JVC digital camcorder with a built in mic, which obviously is not giving the most ideal sound.

i really didnt feel a contrast between part A and B... i liked part A way much (besides your piano helps a lot!! sounds really good!)
anyway, it's a nice playing.
