Impressive technique ! I have to say find the performance rather mechanical and indifferent. But sincere compliments on bringing out the voices in the LH in the middle of all the RH turmoil. That is really well done.

Playing in what appears to be an aquarium full of junk - with what sounds like a busy breakfast service going on behind the camera - probably explains why you seem a little distracted in places.

Luckily you managed to finish the piece before the waitress turned up with your eggs and bacon
