I played this at a recital today. I think it went pretty well and wanted to share it with you guys. I'm going to work on Invention #12 next!

I saw the F minor Fantasy and my first thought was that you sit way too low for your own good.  This is contributing to errors.  Good choice of tempo for the Invention; expresses ecstatic joy.  A bit more clarity of the lines would make it sound better.

Thank you for the suggestions. The bench I had to work with at that concert hall was really low! I shared your comment with my teacher and at today's lesson she focused a lot on posture and how I am sitting. We also pulled out an old adjustable piano bench at my house and it's higher than the one I was using.  :D
