Why did you remove your recording? As  many of us (I think) I was waiting to have the time to listen with the due attention to it... So please, post it again!!!

The reason of this silence, perhaps, is that Rev etude is such an "abused" piece: IMO the forumeers in general are sick to listen to yet another performance, most of them  painfully amateurish, or simply  horrible,   of this kind of repertoire.  (But somehow I feel it's not your case)...
If my experience can soothe you, I posted my daugthers' video of Debussy Arabesque almost a week ago, getting 0 reply, and I lost  any hope to get one!!!  

I can understand your disappointment, but, please, don't get upset.
Maybe your performance will find constructive criticism,  helpful advices, or harsh comments (sometimes worse than silence, bust nonetheless very useful, too).

Just my two cents to encourage a newbye...
Cheers

Hi Kelly,

I very much enjoyed your recording of the "Revolutionary Etude".  You play it with a wonderful touch while displaying fine agility too.  Your artistic playing is both lyrical and fiery in this piece.  I also like your very effective shadings and contrasts in dynamics.  Overall I believe it's a thoughtful, exciting and beautiful rendition.  Thanks for sharing it with us here.

The last time I played this etude was a long time ago, but I recall and well appreciate the challenges there.

David

Hi Kelly,
BRAVA!!!!
A wonderful performance, I subscribed to all Rachfan's comments: right tempo, fine dynamics, great thecnique  but very musical too.
You sure are an accomplished pianist.
Thank you, and please, post more of your performances!
Margherita
