To me it seems like it needed to be more delicately played, the drops sound to me too much to inspire the idea of water lilies which are delicate and float calmly on the water. Nice playing though.

Thanks for the feedback. To each his own (Water Lily), as it should be. For me, if the "reflective" off the beat chords in the bass were any softer, the music would lose "presence." Actually, this performance happens to be one of those rare occasions that I am fully satisfied with the interpretation throughout, that is to say, it works (for me!)
