Hello everyone,

Hi Ronan,

Welcome to the forum! I hope you stick around!

Congratulations on your recording of this wonderful little piece!

For me, this performance remains unsurpassed:



Notice how the LH forms an important, organic part of the overall musical texture!

+1.

Also see/hear (my personal favorite and inspiration. I much prefer the 'old guard' on these matters. GG is great, but old Heinrich weaves magic!)

Thank you, you're very right, I should now try something more personnal and less common.
