Bravo!

I thought this was well done! You channel a certain sense of total commitment  which I find admirable and engrossing.

My own thoughts are that you could perhaps find more playful deviousness somehow in the character. Sometimes the forward momentum stifled that for me.

Thanks awesome_o! I agree, Puck is a character that I should have researched more. I did find he was full of mischief and playfulness. I did not portray enough of that energy into the piece, I'm thinking I could have been a little more teasy in nature and maybe it would have been truer to the character.

That's pretty much all that came to mind when I heard it. Sometimes we can get a bit carried away in the performance with energy and speed. As we develop more experience we can control the musical side of things better in performance.

You kept your cool and got around the keyboard very skillfully-lots of quick, well-coreographed movement of the hands. Bravo! I'd love to hear more from you.
