First performance (hopefully not the best, lol) of one of my current pieces. Criticism always appreciated! :D

Wow! I've never heard this piece before, but I love it,  Hauntingly beautiful !!

Beautiful playing as well, the voicing was very nice, and I liked the dynamics as well. I can't really say anything bad about this, though I'm sure some of the othe members will find somthing to criticize, but Excellent job ! :)

Hello!  :)
I am going in four months at the piano olympics and I wonder that I can play Rachmaninoff Etude Tableaux Op.39 No.2. (I am 8 grade). My teacher said that I have to chose between this etude and Rach Elegie.
Is this Etude to hard (technically) for this grade? I can reach 10 even 11 but my left hand is a bit '' lazy'' and I saw that the left hand is important.
Send me a message please.Thanks.
Current repertoire:
Bach Toccata in E minor
Beethoven Sonata op.110
Rachmaninov Corelli Variations
Liszt Paganini Etudes No.2 and 6.
Strauss Burlesque in d minor, Brahms piano concerto No.2.

It's very important how you finger the left hand part. My hands aren't particularly big. I personally found the Elegie harder than this. I think whichever one you choose it will be about the same. I think it's easier to give an effective performance of the Elegie, its much more straightforward. This etude, I think, is one of Rachmaninov's poetic masterpieces.

Thank you for your advice!!!!! I played Rachmaninoff's Elegie at a competition. I will try to learn one of rach etudes ( op.39 no.2,7 or 8). I liked your video with op.39 no.2 (very mussically played) and I hope that I can learn it before the olympics. I'll play the Elegie and one etude by rach and other pieces (for the olympics:3 romantic pieces, 2 modern, 1 etude and 1 sonata or concerto). If you could send me a list of modern pieces and sonatas by beethoven or mozart ( for 8 grade).
Current repertoire:
Bach Toccata in E minor
Beethoven Sonata op.110
Rachmaninov Corelli Variations
Liszt Paganini Etudes No.2 and 6.
Strauss Burlesque in d minor, Brahms piano concerto No.2.
