This is my Liszt Mephisto Waltz No. 1, live from the 2011 Liszt Competition, recorded off the stream.

Wonderful!  I don't know the piece well enough to nitpick, but I thought it was wonderfully played.

Much respect!!  For a while this piece bored me, but I think that's over. Compliments!

I screwed up the leaps!

Hi,

Bravo!  I've always very much enjoyed your playing.  I really liked your rendition of the Mephisto No. 1.  It's played with artistry, has a wonderful sweep to it, and you demonstrate a superb control of touch throughout as Liszt demands.  You play the lyrical, poetic sections equally as well as the bravura parts.  As far as the leaps go, they are just plain very difficult, but any miscalculations are also not nearly as noticeable as you may think.  A very impressive performance!

Ofc this is a very good performance (how did it go in the competition?!) and basically what most people would ask for.

Though, I didn't really like it that much. It sounded just like any good student at any academy, and that kind of bores me.
Ofc I can't come with anything "Do like this over there" and stuff, cause that wouldn't do any good. I think you need to find your own way, and not the normal way...

Well played, though.
