Hello,

I recently performed Liszt's Totentanz with my university's orchestra. Tell me what you think, what to improve, etc.

Thanks!

Very nice work!
I'm trying to learn the solo version and it's giving me some issues.
Did any part give you trouble? My LH is really complaining about the fugato.

The best advice for the fugato (when the left hand comes in with 16th notes) is to practice it slowly, while phrasing everything. I still worry about that part more than any other section in this piece.
