Hello!!
The title of the piece immediately attracted me.  I always thought such "glorious" titles were exclusive to the Koreans of the DPRK or to some extent, the  Chinese at the PRC. Anyway it has an attractive marshal-like tune.  Nice playing too.  THANKS!

very cool, i'd never heard this.  composer? that would be good to include in the post or topic/subj header. 

again nice! no real critique other than have you tried playing without the music desk or at least with it folded down? i find if it s memorized and solor performace you can really hear youself better and thus react to what you're doing even more without that thing in the way. again sometimes we don't have a choice i.e some venues won't let you  but where i'm able, i totally get rid of that thing before i  play always goes much better,i.e i feel more connected to what i'm doing if you haven't tried experiment in rehearsals with opening up the path between you and the sound source see if you can more happening and thus react with more musicality.

great job! composed by?:
