Not Umi Garrett but getting there

It's very nice! I was considering this for my next Liszt, but my RH isn't doing well with the early-on A major sixteenth-notey part. I feel like this piece would be pretty easy if I had two extra fingers, or if my 3 and 5 could stretch an octave.

Nice!! Really enjoyed it!

I'm wondering if I can ever attempt this piece... seems extremely challenging to play it with the required lightness etc. How long have you been playing, and how long did this piece take you?

It could be a bit faster.

The gnome theme is clipped and accented so it sounds like skipping off; it should be smoother.  Expression is non-existent, <> would help greatly.

Agreed  Been only 3 weeks since I started learning this, it's not mature at all. Choppy and too slow indeed. As for expression I'm trying but it needs an extra effort to render on digital coldness. Thanks for the honest remark

Go ahead! Looks way more challenging than it really is. It's an easy Liszt really, the speed is the difficulty but it still sounds nice when played slower.

Which would you say is harder, this or Un Sospiro? I know difficulty is subjective, but in general?
