Damn, I'm surprised you don't have any replies on this piece. Although its not that technically difficult, its musically hard I think, and you played it really Great, and the beginning has really nice phrasing! Did you record it through midi synch by any chance? Just asking because the sound is ridiculously clear... Overall really enjoyed listening to it, although I found at some parts you went too low, leading to the phrase getting separated (i.e. 0:49-0:52,) And the second theme was also too jumpy for my taste.. Listen to Arthur Rubinstein's version, he has crazy control of those two parts, I know he is a pro, but I'm mainly trying to point out how he doesn't jump dynamics in them, and instead makes them work and flow as a whole.....entity? lmao

Thank you. No, it's a real steinway d recording.

I agree, very nicely played. Good rubato. Only question is, in the second section, the right hand melody, you're accenting the second b flat a little, which sounds odd to me. I'm used to hearing it with no accent until the C in the next measure. But that doesn't mean it has to be that way.

If you're interested in another great recording -- Dinu Lupatti
