Ive been listening to Hugh Laurie's version of this ever since you mentioned it on here in another thread.
So thanks for the tip - I'm really enjoying it.

Thought some of the changes in volume at the beginning sounded a little jarring, notably the section from 5s thru 40s. Maybe I'm putting that wrong - I just think the feel of it could be improved in that bit. Thereafter, very nice.

Biggest disappointment is that it ended before the main section of the song. Ah well - no doubt you'll tackle that at some later date.

All good.

Yeah I know, threw the whole thing I try and change up the volume to try and get a nice sound. It's different every time I play it.

It's only the introduction. I'm learning Hungarian Rhapsody #2 (Friska) right now, on a tight schedule, have to learn a minimum of 2 pages a day, only learnt the first 3 right now, all up to speed though. Its my project for school. This Hugh Laurie thing is what I am playing at whole school assembly, wish me luck lol.

Good playing. The LH is a bit bashy in the forte parts, cushion the tone in those places.

Yeah I noticed that, I have improved since then. Not long after this I got a proper recording done on a baby grand, will upload that one soon, should be a little clearer.
