That's a lovely piece and played lovely too. I have never heard this one before ( which is a great shame on me as I come from Russia and studied music in Russia!!) but it definately expresses it's name - Dumka ("A little (cherished) thought", or "thinking a litte" I will try and find sheet music for it to try to play it too :) Thank you for sharing!

A delightfully fine performance.  I like how you made the most of the distinct characters and changes of mood throughout the piece.  This was my first time to hear this piece.  Thanks for sharing.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

hehe, well, I am happy that you like this! It is still a work in progress.....

It is one of my favorite small Tchaikovsky piano pieces......I like his F major Variations very much too, although I haven't played them.
