Comments and critique would be greatly appreciated

It is nice to listen to such a different approach then my own, especially as it is well thought out and well played. You can hear my live take in beautiful voice recorder sound here: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=38355.0

I'm trying to think of what I could say? I wouldn't want to destroy your concept and the things your doing. I always thought of this as a dramatic operatic scene with arias, recits, and a BIG orchestra, and also I always wanted to emphasize Liszt's little obsession with the tritone by keeping the resonance of the pedal (like the strings keep the descending line at the beginning of Strauss's Alpine Symphony). That may be a little to much or extreme...but if your gonna go, go all out, right?

I did enjoy this performances, though, and oddly enough I also enjoyed the clock!

P.s. I've been meaning to ask what draws you to the Feltsman quote? Do you believe that?

Thank you for the comment I will listen to yours as soon as possible. And the Feltsman quote does appear to be true

Still need to practice part II for cleanliness but overall very good performance! Your interpretation is excellent! Please lower the recording input next time, lots of distortion
