I thought this was some fine playing.

Interesting musical ideas and a strong sense of line. There were a few times I thought the piano could barely seem to keep up with your ability to control it.

I'm curious as to how you would describe your experience of bringing out the melody... would you say you achieve the voicing more with arm weight, or would you say you do it more with the power of the hand?

Thanks for your replay. Well, I was talking about voicing the head piano hammers... I have recently full restored this grand and I chose this melody to test the most troubled área with them: the middle-high. It was too percussive/bright at the beginning and ending towards the nasal sound if did too many stabs... (good headphones and wav format to apreciate it). I think the piano is yet about 80% of its possibilities.
I was just reading the easy sheet... and was thinking more in each finger to speak up the melody.
All the best.
