so this one time I played a beethoven sonata at a small piano competition and in the adjudicators comments it said "wrong note, mov 3 bar 67"  ..I'd hate to think what he'd say to this.

anyway, sans main theme and up to the first part where the piano gets to go nuts by itself for a bit.

Obviously I need to bring out the a lot of the voicing better and tidy things up.. but any thoughts about general approach I'd like to hear..  awesome_o? dima?

I think I'm a bit out of my depth so far as orchestral considerations so I wonder if I'm doing something stunningly problematic so far as that which will make it really difficult to keep together..  such as perhaps I should iron out some tempo fluctuations that are ok solo but will just confuse things in the whole picture.

Work on it a bit without pedal, and learn the piano reduction of the orchestral part, which is actually much more difficult than the solo part. Then you will truly understand all that you need to know!

AJ! I'm sorry that this has nothing to do with your thread, but you're not dead!
