Hi everyone and a happy new year!!

I just launched a site on Facebook where I collect all my recordings. I would really love it if you had the time to check it out and maybe give some feedback!

https://www.facebook.com/maxpassarepiano

Current uploaded recordings (year recorded):
(2012) Franz Liszt - La Campanella
(2013) Franz Liszt - Les Jeux d'Eau à la Villa d'Este
(2010) Franz Liszt - Un Sospiro
(2011) Franz Liszt - Liebestraum
(2010) Frédéric Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu
(2013) Ludwig van Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata movement 3

(Please write negative feedback here and not on the site because I'm trying to earn a little extra cash by performing, using the site as marketing).

Take care and thank you!
Kindly
//Max

Personally, I'm a bit surprised that audiences are willing to pay to hear this level of pianism.

You have many nice musical ideas, but you lack the power, sensitivity, and control that are expected of artists on the concert stage.

Are you sure that you are ready to market yourself professionally to the world?

It sounds like you could do with a few more years of lessons!

In general, your pedalling is sloppy. I'd practice without pedal entirely for a few months if I were you.

When used correctly, the pedal enhances musical clarity. When used incorrectly, it makes everything muddy and blurry.

Try to get a more crystal clear, sparkling tone! It will help your interpretations of Chopin, Beethoven, and Liszt greatly!
