Lovely performance and musically very mature for your young years.

This is a musically very difficult piece to play, and you've done a great job. By the time you have the life experience required, it will be sublime.

As soon as I saw that can had put the Schubert 143 online, I took time out to download it and listen.  I used to have a record with Andre Watts playing this, though I had forgotten completely how the second movement sounded. Can's performance is well-nigh perfect;  if there hadn't been one place in the first movement where I think he wanted to play a C instead of a D, I'd think I was hearing the work of a divine presence.  I especially notice also the posture;  during most of the performance, the horizontality of can's forearms was as precise as if guided by a laser.  He gets the greatest sounds by moving so little;  it almost makes you imagine that he could move the notes just by using his mind;  maybe he will some day.   When it comes to pianism, he shows us HOW IT IS DONE.

Your maturity and technical prowress are simply amazing.  And what's especially wonderful about it, is that you're seemingly unaware of your talents.  You play with such ease and unaffectedness.
It's all in the service of the music you're playing.  The last movement was exceptional.  It reminded me a lot of Brendel.  That concentrated musical direction and drive.  Bravo.
