Just performed this about a week or so ago at a piano recital. Tell me what you all think of my performance.  ;D

The playing was very good indeed - I think maybe that if people don't know a piece well, they are reluctant to respond. Personally I don't mind giving a general 'yes I enjoyed it, thanks for posting' kind of response, but some like to give technical feedback - and if they don't know the piece, obviously they prefer to remain silent I guess -

Try posting something popular!

Sorry Williampiano, only now I’ve had the time to listen to your performance. Very, very good, BRAVO!!!  Your choice, too, denotes a good, fine taste: Prokofiev’s 10 pieces op 12 are a true, underrated  jewel.
Please, don’t switch to a more conventional, "popular" repertoire:  keep on with Porkofiev, maybe trying    the Scherzo of op 12:  so witty, funny to play, and a very show off piece!!! ;)
Listen to this brilliant performance of Evelina Puzaite, you’ll love it!

Good luck
Margherita

Wow!  For a 13 year-old you play with great aplomb and cool!  You handled those dense chords at the end like a pro!  Bravo!
