Recorded dead tired after a long practicing day:

Thirds:

octaves + 8 fingers (I like to do them quasi attaca, so, put them in one file):

I only had time to listen to the Etude pour les Tierce right now.... which happens to be the only one I played.

I thought your rendition was very beautiful and in good taste.


I'm curious. Do you ever practice this piece with zero pedal?

I do, actually - at least parts of it. I also speed it up sometimes for practicing purposes, and have given up on finding a "comfortable" fingering for some spots.
