Erlkonig Schubert/Liszt

The work is still in progress, and the piano is not good (out of tune), I'm really sorry for this but I have no other opportunity to record it in a better one..

You're very young, and I'm sure this piece will get better with time.  Impressive repeated notes and octaves.  But that's about it.  The whole drama of the piece is missing.  It's a very tragic fairy tale,  and I'm sure you've heard the original, but it was lost in all those notes.  That's the difficulty in this piece.  In fact, the original accompaniment is much more difficult as far as repeated octaves go.  Here, the difficulty is bringing the voice across WITH the accompaniment, and making it believable.
